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.

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration for aluminum (AI) and arsenic (As) in
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Aluminum; [Ne]3s²3p¹

Arsenic; [Ar]3d¹⁰4s²4p³

Explanation:

<em>Aluminum</em>

From the periodic table, we have that aluminum, Al, is located in period 3, and group 3A of the periodic table

Therefore, the noble gas that comes before aluminum in the periodic table is neon Ne

The electronic configuration of aluminum is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p¹

The electronic configuration of neon is 1s²2s²2p⁶

Therefore, the electronic configuration of aluminum in noble gas notation (Ne) is therefore;

[Ne]3s²3p¹

<em>Arsenic</em>

Arsenic is located after argon, Ar on the periodic table

The electronic configuration of arsenic is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p³

The electronic configuration of argon is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶

The electronic configuration of arsenic in noble gas notation (Ar) is given as follows;

[Ar]3d¹⁰4s²4p³

If electrons were used in the two slit experiment instead of light, what change would need to be made to the slit spacing in ord
irina [24]
The change that would need to be made to the slit spacing in order to see a diffraction pattern is bending, because in understanding why light behaves like a wave, it is the interference and diffraction were the phenomena distinguish waves from particles but waves are the only one can interfere and diffract while particles do not. The light bends around obstacles or cylinder like waves do, then it is bending which cause and resulted in the single slit diffraction pattern.

You need to make 10 mL of 2 mg/ml solution of protein and you have 25 mg/mL solution. How much protein solution and water do you
meriva

Answer:

0.8 mL of protein solution, 9.2 mL of water

Explanation:

The dilution equation can be used to relate the concentration C₁ and volume V₁ of the stock/undiluted solution to the concentration C₂ and volume V₂ of the diluted solution:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

We would like to calculate the value for V₁, the volume of the inital solution that we need to dilute to make the required solution.

V₁ = (C₂V₂) / C₁ = (2mg/mL x 10mL) / (25 mg/mL) = 0.8 mL

Thus, a volume of 0.8 mL of protein solution should be diluted with enough water to bring the total volume to 10 mL. The amount of water needed is:

(10 mL - 0.8 mL) = 9.2 mL
