The change in entropy, Δ????∘rxn , is related to the the change in the number of moles of gas molecules, Δ????gas . Determine th
e change in the moles of gas for each of the reactions and decide if the entropy increases, decreases, or has little or no change. A. K(s)+O2(g) ⟶ KO2(s) Δ????gas= mol The entropy, Δ????∘rxn , increases. has little or no change. decreases. B. CO(g)+3H2(g) ⟶ CH4(g)+H2(g) Δ????gas= mol The entropy, Δ????∘rxn , decreases. increases. has little or no change. C. CH4(g)+2O2(g) ⟶ CO2(g)+2H2O(g) Δ????gas= mol The entropy, Δ????∘rxn , has little or no change. decreases. increases. D. N2O2(g) ⟶ 2NO(g)+O2(g) Δ????gas= mol The entropy, Δ????∘rxn , decreases. increases. has little or no change.
The change in entropy (ΔS°rxn) is related to the change in the number of moles of gases (Δn(gas) = n(gas products) - n(gas reactants)). If the number of moles of gases increases, there are more possible microstates and entropy increases. The opposite happens when there are less gaseous moles. And little or no change in entropy is expected when the number of moles of reactants and products is the same.
How to calcutate concentration of solution. there is 12gram of solute in a 36 gram solution then you take 12 divided by 24 because 36-12=24 which is youe solvent
