HELP!!!! The freezing of methane is an exothermic change. What best describes the temperature conditions that are likely to make

this a spontaneous change? Any temperature, because entropy increases during freezing. Any temperature, because entropy decreases during freezing. Low temperature only, because entropy decreases during freezing. High temperature only, because entropy increases during freezing.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is low temperature only, because entropy decreases during freezing.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relationship between Gibb's free energy, enthalpy, entropy and temperature is given by the equation:

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

Where,

\Delta G = change in Gibb's free energy

\Delta H = change in enthalpy

T = temperature

\Delta S = change in entropy

It is given that freezing of methane is taking place, which means that entropy is decreasing and Delta S is becoming negative. It is also given that the reaction is an exothermic reaction, this means that the \Delta H is also negative.

For a reaction to be spontaneous, \Delta G must be negative.

-ve=-ve-[T(-ve)]\\\\-ve=-ve+T

From above equations, it is visible that \Delta G will be negative only when the temperature will be low.

Hence, the correct statement is low temperature only, because entropy decreases during freezing.

Two liquids- one polar, one nonpolar- have the same molar mass. Which one has the higher boiling point?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

D. the polar liquid will have the higher boiling point, since its molecules have dipole-dipole interactions.

Explanation:

<em>Dipole-Dipole interactions</em> take place only between polar molecules.

They consist of attractions between the negative end of a polar molecule and the positive end of another polar molecule. For example, between the O atom and the H atom in water.

These attractions are not present in a non-polar liquid, so its molecules will be more loosely held together and its boiling point will be lower.

What is the difrence beetween thermal energy and temperature
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Hope this helps

Explanation:

Thermal energy, which is more commonly known as heat, is a form of energy. It is measured in joules. Thermal energy is an internal energy for a given system. Thermal energy is the cause for the temperature of a system.

Temperature is the measureable thermal property of a system. It is measured in Kelvin, Celsius, or Fahrenheit. The SI unit for temperature measurement is Kelvin.

Differences:

Thermal energy is not a directly measurable quantity whereas temperature is a measurable quantity.

• The temperature of an object can take negative values depending on the unit system used to measure the temperature, but the thermal energy of a system cannot be negative.

• Temperature is measured in Kelvin whereas thermal energy is measured in Joule.

• An object can lose or gain thermal energy in a state transition without changing the temperature of the system.
