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.
There is no mistake in the calculation. The second law states that in any spontaneous process the decrease in the entropy of the system equals zero.

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 oxygen is needed to completely react with 9.30 moles of aluminum
Orlov [11]
Balanced chemical equation:

* moles of oxygen

4 Al + 3 O2 = 2 Al2O3

4 moles Al -------------- 3 moles O2
9.30 moles Al ---------- moles O2

moles O2 = 9.30 * 3 / 4

moles O2 = 27.9 / 4 => 6.975 moles of O2

Therefore:

Molar mass O2 = 31.9988 g/mol

n = m / mm

6.975 = m / 31.9988

m = 6.975 * 31.9988

m = 223.19 of O2

Is snails growing shell conserve mass
postnew [5]

The thing that two changes have in common that snails growing shells and  rust forming on a bicycle frame is option D. Both are caused by cooling.

<h3>How come snails develop shells?</h3>

Calcium carbonate is said to be the material that makes up the shell. The snail's shell expands as it grows to accommodate its growing body. Snails and slugs are also members of the mollusc family of creatures.

Therefore, note that  air that has been mixed with the metal can make rust to develop. and as such, option D. Both are caused by cooling. is correct.

A carbon forms one bond to an X atom plus three more bonds to three hydrogen atoms. If the hybridization to X has 81% p-characte
liraira [26]

Answer:

110 degree

Explanation:

This is because Hybridization of an s orbital with all three p orbitals (px , py, and pz) results in four sp3 hybrid orbitals. sp3 hybrid orbitals are oriented at bond angle of 109.5 degrees from each other. This 109.5 degrees gives an arrangement of tetrahedral geometry
