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.

Why do electrons enter the 4s orbital before entering the 3D orbital
garri49 [273]

The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel. (:

4NH3+5O2-4NO+6H2O<br>how many moles of NH3 must react to produce 5.0 moles of NO?​
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: 5.0 moles

Explanation:

From the equation, we see that for every 4 moles of ammonia consumed, 4 moles of nitrogen monoxide are produced (we can reduce this to moles of ammonia consumed = moles of nitrogen monoxide produced).

This means that the answer is <u>5.0 mol</u>
