Imagine a chemist is in the lab and trying to make some chemical reactions happen. In one reaction she reacts chemicals in an exothermic reaction and there is an increase in entropy. A second chemical reaction she is trying to run is endothermic and there is a decrease in entropy. Which of the two reactions is more likely to occur and why?
Answer:
Mass = 381.28 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of HNO₃ = 16 mol
Mass of Cu needed to react with 16 mol of HNO₃ = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
3Cu + 8HNO₃ → 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 4H₂O + 2NO
Now we will compare the moles of Cu with HNO₃ from balance chemical equation.
HNO₃ : Cu
8 : 3
16 : 3/8×16 = 6
Mass of Cu needed:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 6 mol × 63.546 g/mol
Mass = 381.28 g
The answer is D. Fertilizer and vinegar
It should be option (A) because conduction is the transfer of heat energy from one place to another by vibrations/motion of the molecules. I hoped I helped.
