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.

Marijuana most abundant psychoactive chemical is delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol or

Galina-37 [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Yes the statement is</u><u> True</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

THC is a chemical which stands for delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol or Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ-9-THC). This chemical is a cannabinoid molecule in marijuana or cannabis that has long been known as the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana which means that it is the substance that causes users to experience the marijuana high. It can be detected in the blood up to 20 hours after ingestion, and it's stored in the body fat and organs for three to four weeks after ingestion.

Lead(II) nitrate is added slowly to a solution that is 0.0800 M in Cl− ions. Calculate the concentration of Pb2+ ions (in mol /

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$[Pb^{2+}]=3.9 \times 10^{-2}M$

this is the concentration required to initiate precipitation

Explanation:

$PbCl_2$ ⇄ $Pb^{2+}+2Cl^-$

Precipitation starts when ionic product is greater than solubility product.

Ip>Ksp

Precipitation starts only when solution is supersaturated because solution become supersaturated then it does not stay in this form and precipitation starts itself only solution become saturated.

This usually happens when two solutions containing separate sources of cation and anion are mixed together and here also we are mixing lead (||)nitrate solution(source of lead(||)) into the Cl- solution.

$Ip=[Pb^{2}][2Cl^-]^2=Ksp$

$Ksp=2.4\times 10^{-4}$

lets solubility=S

$[Pb^{2+}] = S$

$[Cl^-]=2S$

$Ksp=[Pb^{2+}]\times [Cl^-]^2$

$Ksp=S \times (2S)^2$

$Ksp=4S^3$

$S=\sqrt[3]{\frac{Ksp}{4} }$

$S=3.9\times 10^{-2}$

$[Pb^{2+}]=3.9 \times 10^{-2}M$ this is the concentration required to initiate precipitation

A forward reaction in which adding heat decreases product formation is _________, while a forward reaction in which adding heat

ELEN [110]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. <span>A forward reaction in which adding heat decreases product formation is exothermic, while a forward reaction in which adding heat increases product formation is endothermic. Exothermic would mean that heat is being released by the process while the opposite is called endothermic in which it absorbs heat.</span>
