How does the entropy of steam compare to the entropy of ice?

baherus [9]3 years ago

Answer:

One of the thermodynamic principles says that the entropy increases when the temperature increases, and we have the relation:

dS/dT > 0.

Now, we know that the steam will have more temperature than the ice, so we can say that the entropy of the steam is bigger than the one of the ice.

You also can see in a more "simplistic" concept, entropy is viewed as the amount of "disorder". Now, then the ice has a defined shape where each particle kinda maintains their position, the case is different for gas (the steam in this case) where the particles are almost free, then in the gas, the disorder is bigger than in the ice, and the entropy is also bigger.

The answer is; The entropy of steam is larger than because it is more disordered than ice

Entropy is synonymous to the degree of disorder or randomness of molecules in a system. The molecules of steam are far apart from each other and move randomly in the system colliding with each other. Those of ice has less kinetic energy, vibrate more or less in a fixed position in the structiure, and are arranged in a orderd fashion

A beam of light, with a wavelength of 4170 Å, is shined on sodium, which has a work function (binding energy) of 4.41 × 10 –19 J
Lyrx [107]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=4170\ A=4170\times 10^{-10}\ m

Work function of sodium, W_o=4.41\times 10^{-19}\ J

The kinetic energy of the ejected electron in terms of work function is given by :

KE=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}-W_o\\\\KE=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4170\times 10^{-10}}-4.41\times 10^{-19}\\\\KE=3.59\times 10^{-20}\ J

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2KE}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 3.59\times 10^{-20}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=2.8\times 10^5\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A bungee cord has a spring constant of 82.5 N/m. After jumping, a person oscillates with a period of 7.50 s. What is the mass of
Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π √ (m/k)

T / 2π = √ (m/k)

T√k = 2π √m

(T√k) / 2π = √m

( (T√k) / 2π)^2 = m

m = ( (7.5√82.5) / 2π)^2

m = 117.66 Kg
