What happens to the entropy of a sample of matter when it changes state from a solid to a liquid?

Chemistry

Sidana [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • <em>When a sample of matter changes state from a solid to a liquid, its entropy</em> <u>increases</u>.

Explanation:

The <em>entropy</em> is a thermodinamic variable that measures the disorder of radomness of a substance or system.

In the <em>solid </em>stated the particles (molecules, atoms or ions) are tightly packed, forming an organized structure. So, the particles barely can move, just vibrating around their fixed positions.

In the <em>liquid </em>state the particles are more free to move (that is why liquids flow and take the shape of the vessel in which they are contained).

Then, you can predict that <em>when a matter changes state from a solid to a liquid</em>, the parciles will gain motion leading to a higher disorder, which means that the entropy increases.

The isotopes of an element all have the same __(atomic, mass) __number, but they have different __(atomic,mass)__numbers.
Vlad1618 [11]
<h2>The isotopes of an element all have the same __(atomic, mass) __number, but they have different __(atomic,mass)__numbers.</h2>

Explanation:

The isotopes of an element all have the same __atomic  number  __, but they have different __mass __numbers.

The isotopes have same atomic number that is :

  • Same number of electrons
  • Same number of protons
  • same electronic configuration
  • same valence electrons
  • same valency
  • same symbol

The isotopes have different mass number that is :

They differ in number of neutrons .

For example : Isotopes of hydrogen are : H₁¹ , H₁² , H₁³

                       isotopes of Oxygen is : O¹⁶ , O¹⁷, O¹⁸

The solubility product for barium sulfate is 1.1 × 10–10. calculate the molar solubility of barium sulfate.
Triss [41]
When it comes to equilibrium reactions in chemistry, there are a lot of equilibrium constants that can be used. In the case of solubility, the appropriate one to use is the equilibrium constant of solubility product denotes as Ksp. This is the concentration of products raised to their coefficients. For example,

 cC ⇔ aA + bB 

Ksp = {[A^a][B^b]}

Now, for the this problem, the reaction is

BaSO₄ ⇔ Ba²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

The reaction is already balanced. Since we don't know the value of Ba²⁺ and SO₄²⁻, let's denote this at x.

1.1 × 10⁻¹⁰ = [x][x] =[x²]
[x] = [Ba²⁺] = [SO₄²⁻] = [BaSO₄] = 1.049 × 10⁻⁵ M
