The reaction H2(g)+F2(g)?2HF(g) is spontaneous at all temperatures. A classmate calculates the entropy change for this reaction

and obtains a large negative value for ?S?.
Part A

Did your classmate make a mistake in the calculation?

Did your classmate make a mistake in the calculation?

There is mistake in the calculation. The second law states that in any spontaneous process there is an increase in the entropy of the universe.
There is mistake in the calculation. The second law states that in any spontaneous process the increase in the entropy of the system equals zero. Also there is a decrease in entropy of the system, as in the present case, this decrease is canceled by an increase in entropy of the surroundings.
There is no mistake in the calculation. The second law states that in any spontaneous process there is an decrease in the entropy of the system. Also there is a decrease in entropy of the system, as in the present case.

Answer:

The correct answer is there is a mistake in the calculation. The second law of thermodynamics state that in any spontaneous process there is an increase in the entropy of the universe.

Explanation:

According to the second law a reaction will occur in a system spontaneously if the total entropy of both system and surrounding increases during the reaction.That means in case of spontaneous reaction entropy change is always positive.

     But according to the question the reaction H2+F2=2HF is spontaneous in all temperature.So according to the second law of thermodynamics i can say that my classmate made a mistake in calculation that"s why his result for entropy change comes negative.

How many grams of solute are in 1.00 liter of 0.200m na2so4 solution?
Kisachek [45]
Molarity can be defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L solution.
Molarity of Na₂SO₄ solution - 0.200 M
this means there are 0.200 moles in 1 L solution 
Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ - 142 g/mol 
therefore mass of Na₂SO₄ in 1.00 L - 0.200 mol x 142 g/mol = 28.4 g
a mass of 28.4 g of Na₂SO₄ is present in 1.00 L

Define and explain sublimation and name the substance that sublime directly on heating​
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state. ... So, all solids that possess an appreciable vapour pressure at a certain temperature usually can sublime in air (e.g. water ice just below 0 °C).

I hope it's helpful!

Which statements are true of precipitation reactions?
Troyanec [42]
In chemistry, a precipitation reaction is a double replacement reaction. It involves two reactants and two products. It means that the cations and anions of the compounds interchange with one another to yield two products. But what makes precipitation reactions different is that when two liquid reactants are allowed to react together, a solid substance called precipitate is formed. The solid appears because it is insoluble to the other product in aqueous state.

Therefore, basing on the choices given, precipitation reactions apply to letters C and D.
