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.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

  35.6 liters at STP

Explanation:

The molar mass of carbon dioxide is about 44.01 g/mol. The volume of a mole of ideal gas at STP is 22.4 L, so the volume of 70.0 g will be ...

  (70.0g)/(44.01 g/mol)·(22.4 L/mol) ≈ 35.6 L

Speed is the ratio between distance and <br><br> Pls answer ASP!!
natulia [17]

Answer: Explanation: Speed is simply velocity without a specified direction (speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector). Regardless of the two measurements, they both relate distance to time, but are slightly different. Instantaneous speed is the derivative of the total distance covered with respect to time.

What is the normal pH range of a Base?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

7.35 - 7.45

Explanation:

The pH scale ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45. Usually, the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.

Hope this helps
