The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.

The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

Predict the sign for AS for each of the following systems: Water freezing Water evaporating Crystalline urea dissolving Assembly
djyliett [7]

Answer:  1.  Water freezing : \Delta S is -ve.

2. Water evaporating : \Delta S is +ve.

3. Crystalline urea dissolving : \Delta S is +ve.

4. Assembly of the plasma membrane from individual lipids: \Delta S is -ve.

5.  Assembly of a protein from individual amino acids: \Delta S is -ve.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the measurement of degree of randomness in a system.

It is represented by symbol S and we can only measure a change in entropy which is given by \Delta S.

If there is decrease in randomness , the sign for \Delta S is -ve and If there is increase in randomness , the sign for \Delta S is +ve.

1.  Water freezing: Entropy decreases as we move from liquid state to  to solid state and thus \Delta S is -ve.

2. Water evaporating : Entropy increases as we move from liquid state to  gaseous state and thus \Delta S is +ve.

3. Crystalline urea dissolving : The molecules convert from solid and ordered state to aqueous phase and random state. Thus the entropy increases and thus \Delta S is +ve.

4. Assembly of the plasma membrane from individual lipids:  random lipids are associating to form a single large polymer and thus entropy decreases and thus \Delta S is -ve.

5. Assembly of a protein from individual amino acids: random amino acids are associating to form a single large polymer and thus entropy decreases and thus \Delta S is -ve.

fills a 500.mL flask with 3.6atm of carbon monoxide gas and 1.2atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she
enot [183]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The pressure of carbon dioxide after equilibrium is reached the second time is 0.27 atm rounded to 2 significant digits

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the mole ratio of the constituent is proportional to their partial pressure

At the first trial the mixture contains

3.6 atm CO

1.2 atm H₂O (g)

Total pressure = 3.6+1.2= 4.8 atm

which gives

3.36 atm CO

0.96 atm H₂O (g)

0.24 atm H₂ (g)

That is

CO+H₂O→CO(g)+H₂ (g)

therefore the mixture contained

0.24 atm CO₂ and the total pressure =

3.36+0.96+0.24+0.24 = 4.8 atm

when an extra 1.8 atm of CO is added we get Increase in the mole fraction of CO we have one mole of CO produces one mole of H₂

At equilibrium we have 0.24*0.24/(3.36*0.96) = 0.017857

adding 1.8 atm CO gives 4.46 atm hence we have

 (0.24+x)(0.24+x)/(4.46-x)(0.96-x) = 0.017857

which gives x = 0.031 atm or x = -0.6183 atm

Dealing with only the positive values we have the pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.24+0.03 = 0.27 atm
