Ludwig Boltzmann developed a model that relates entropy to _________.

Chemistry
1 answer:
kifflom [539]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

the number of possible configurations of the locations and energies of the atoms or molecules that comprise a system

Explanation:

Ludwig Boltzmann was the first to suggest that the concept of entropy could be calculated by examining the positions and energies of molecules. This was developed into an equation, known as the Boltzmann equation, which relates entropy to the number of microstates (W):

S = k ln W

where k is the Boltzmann constant (1.38 x 10-23 J/K), and W is the number of microstates.

Microstates was used to imply the number of different possible arrangements of molecular position and kinetic energy at a particular thermodynamic state. Therefore any process that gives an increase in the number of microstates therefore increases the entropy. Hence the answer.

A 603.0 g/hr stream of liquid methyl alcohol, also called methanol, (CH3OH) at 8.10 atm and 26.0°C was held at constant pressure
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Q=\frac{1385270 J}{hr}

Explanation:

Methanol's molecular weight: M=32 g/mol

Methanol's heat of vaporization: \Delta H_{vap}=69.69 kJ/mol

Ideal gas heat capacity (Cp):

Cp=\frac{5}{2}*R where R is the gas constant

Cp=\frac{5}{2}*8.314 \frac{J}{mol*C}=20.78\frac{J}{mol*C}

The heat needed to vaporize and bring the gs to 210°C is:

Q=\frac{603 g/hr}{32 g/mol}*(69690\frac{J}{mol}+20.78\frac{J}{mol*C}*(210-26)C)

Q=\frac{1385270 J}{hr}

A student observes the combustion (burning) of propane (C3H8). Because of the heat and light it generates, the student concludes
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The student's conclusion is not correct

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur. All reactions require there activation energy to be met before the reaction can proceed. When the temperature of a reaction is increased, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases; colliding more with each other, which makes them "surmount" the activation energy of the reaction faster as compared to a lower temperature.

In combustion, there is burning of an hydrocarbon (in this case propane) in excess oxygen. The burning assists in increasing the kinetic energy of the reactant particles which in turn easily surmounts the activation energy of the reaction  by colliding (effective collision) more with oxygen. So, the reaction has an activation energy but the activation energy has been met and passed and hence the reaction is proceeding faster.

Increasing the temperature of a reaction is one of the ways of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction.
