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.

when 32.4 g of water vapor condenses, how much heat is given off? The heat of vaporization for water is 40.67 kj/mol

egoroff_w [7]

When a water vapor condenses, heat is being released from the process. This heat is called latent heat of vaporization since the phase change happens without any change in the temperature. This value is constant per mole of a substance as a function of pressure and temperature. For this problem, we are given the heat of vaporization at a certain T and P. We use this value to calculate the total heat released from the process. We calculate as follows:

Total heat released: 32.4 g ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) (40.67 kJ / mol) = 73.12 kJ

Therefore, 73.12 kJ of heat is released from the condensation of 32.4 g of water vapor.

kirill [66]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Buffere is defined as the solution to whom when an acid or base is added then it resists any in change in pH of the solution.

This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. So, basically it keeps the concentration of both hydrogen ions and hydroxides equal. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.

And, the capacity of a buffer solution to resist the change is known as buffer capacity.

Thus, we can conclude that buffering capacity refers to the extent to which a buffer solution can counteract the effect of added acid or base.

does adding boiled, deionized water to the titrating flask to wash the wall of the erlenmeyer flask and the buret tip increase,

olga55 [171]

Addition of boiled, deionized water to the titrating flask to wash the wall of the erlenmeyer flask and the buret tip will have no effect on the Ksp value of ca(oh)2.

There will be no effect on the Ksp value as boiled deionised water is not able to alter the number of hydronium and hydroxide ions. As no change in the ions happen so there will be no change in Ksp value. The equilibrium constant for a solid material dissolving in an aqueous solution is the solubility product constant, Ksp. It stands for the degree of solute dissolution in solution. A substance's Ksp value increases with how soluble it is.
