Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness present within the molecules of a substance.

When entropy of a reaction has a positive sign then it means there is an increase in the entropy. On the other hand, when entropy of a reaction has a negative sign then it means there is a decrease in entropy.

As, entropy change = entropy of products - entropy of reactants

And, larger is the value of entropy more will be the number of microstates.

When entropy is negative then entropy of products is less than the entropy of reactants.

This also means that products have small number of available energy microstates than reactants.

Thus, we can conclude that a negative change in entropy indicates that the products have a smaller number of available energy microstates than the reactants.

Answer:

Changes in colour of litmus paper.

  • Blue litmus turns red under acidic conditions.
  • Red litmus turns blue under basic conditions.

Noe

PH values:-

  • K=4
  • M=11

K is acidic as pH is <7

Hence K will change the colour of blue litmus paper.

#B

How much heat (in kJ k J ) is evolved in converting 2.00 mol m o l of steam at 135 ∘C ∘ C to ice at -42 ∘C ∘ C ? The heat capaci
vovikov84 [41]

The total quantity of heat evolved in converting the steam to ice is determined as  -12,928.68 J.

<h3>Heat evolved in converting the steam to ice</h3>

The total heat evolved is calculated as follows;

Q(tot) = Q1(steam to boiling point) + Q2(boiling point to ice) +Q3(freezing to -42 ⁰C)

where;

  • Q is heat evolved

Q = = mcΔθ

where;

  • m is mass,  (mass of water = 18 g/mol)
  • c is specific heat capacity,
  • Δθ is change in temperature

Q(tot) = 2(18)(2.01)(100 - 135) + 2(18)(2.01)(0 - 100) + 2(18)(2.09)(-42 - 0)

Q(tot) = -12,928.68 J

Thus, the total quantity of heat evolved in converting the steam to ice is determined as  -12,928.68 J.

Number of moles = 8.3 x 10⁻¹³

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³  particles

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's =  6.02.10²³

5 x 10¹¹ atoms of Silver :

\tt mol=\dfrac{5\times 10^{11}}{6.02\times 10^{23}}=8.3\times 10^{-13}

In a nuclear fusion reaction, the mass of the products is(1) less than the mass of the reactants because some
dusya [7]
The correct answer is option 1. The mass of the products is less than the mass of the reactants because some of the mass has been converted to energy. Fusion reaction happens when two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.
