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.

450g of chromium(iii) sulfate reacts with excess potassium phosphate. How many grams of potassium sulfate will be produced? (ANS
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

1597.959 g  

Explanation:

Given Data:

Amount of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ = 450 g

Amount of potassium phosphate K₃PO₄ = in Excess

grams of potassium sulfate K₂SO₄= ?

Solution

The Reaction will be

                 Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄  ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

Information that we have from reaction

                Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄  ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

                    1 mol          2 mol                   3 mol

we come to know from the above reaction that

1 mole of chromium(iii) sulfate (Cr₂(SO₄)₃) react with 2 mole of potassium phosphate (K₃PO₄) to produce 3 mole of K₂SO₄

We also know that

molar mass of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ = 147 g/mol

molar mass of K₃PO₄ = 212 g/mol

molar mass of K₂SO₄ = 174 g/mol

if we represent mole in grams then

      Cr₂(SO₄)₃             +       2K₃PO₄          ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

       1 mol (147 g/mol)         2 mol  (212 g/mol)      3 mol  (174g/mol)

So, Now we have the following details

          Cr₂(SO₄)₃  +  2K₃PO₄          ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

              147 g         424 g                           522 g

So,

we come to know that 147 g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ combine with 424 g of 2K₃PO₄ produce  522 g of K₂SO₄

So now we calculate that how many grams of potassium sulfate will be produced

Apply unity formula

              147 g of  Cr₂(SO₄)₃  ≅ 522 g of K₂SO₄

              450 g of  Cr₂(SO₄)₃  ≅ ? g of K₂SO₄

by doing cross multiplication

g of K₂SO₄ =522 g x 450 g / 147 g

g of K₂SO₄ =  1597.959 g

So the write answer is  1597.959 g  

***Note: By calculation it is obvious that the correct answer is  1597.959 g

If you assume this reaction is driven to completion because of the large excess of one ion, what is the concentration of [Fe(SCN
viktelen [127]

Answer : The concentration of [Fe(SCN)]^{2+} is, 4.32\times 10^{-4}M

Explanation :

When we assume this reaction is driven to completion because of the large excess of one ion then we are assuming limiting reagent is SCN^- and Fe^{3+} is excess reagent.

First we have to calculate the moles of KSCN.

\text{Moles of }KSCN=\text{Concentration of }KSCN\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }KSCN=0.00180M\times 0.006L=1.08\times 10^{-5}mol

Moles of KSCN = Moles of K^+ = Moles of SCN^- = 1.08\times 10^{-5}mol

Now we have to calculate the concentration of [Fe(SCN)]^{2+}

\text{Concentration of }[Fe(SCN)]^{2+}=\frac{\text{Moles of }[Fe(SCN)]^{2+}}{\text{Volume of solution}}

Total volume of solution = (6.00 + 5.00 + 14.00) = 25.00 mL = 0.025 L

\text{Concentration of }[Fe(SCN)]^{2+}=\frac{1.08\times 10^{-5}mol}{0.025L}=4.32\times 10^{-4}M

Thus, the concentration of [Fe(SCN)]^{2+} is, 4.32\times 10^{-4}M
