For which of the following reactions is S° > 0. Choose all that apply. N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) 4CO2(g) + 6H2

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: $2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

$NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)$

$2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)$

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system.

A system has positive value of entropy if the disorder increases and a system has negative value of entropy if the disorder decreases.

1. $N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative

2. $2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

As 9 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 10 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

3. $NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)$

As 1 mole of solid reactants is changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

4. $2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 5 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive

5. $2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 1 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative.

How does heat transfer through conduction

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules. ... The fire's heat causes molecules in the pan to vibrate faster, making it hotter. These vibrating molecules collide with their neighboring molecules, making them also vibrate faster.
