"Conservation of energy" refers to the fact that _____.

Chemistry

Agata [3.3K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, it is known that energy can neither be created nor it can be destroyed.

But energy can be changed from one form to another.

Whereas entropy is the degree of randomness present within the molecules of a substance or object.

For example, gas molecules are able to move rapidly so, they have more entropy as compared to solid and liquid substances.

According to second law of thermodynamics, entropy of the system is always increasing.

Thus, we can conclude that "Conservation of energy" refers to the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

The heat of fusion AH, of ethyl acetate (C4H802) is 10.5 kinol. Calculate the change in entropy as when 398. g of ethy, acetate
Hitman42 [59]

<u>Answer:</u> The entropy change of the ethyl acetate is 133. J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of ethyl acetate = 398 g

Molar mass of ethyl acetate = 88.11 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of ethyl acetate}=\frac{398g}{88.11g/mol}=4.52mol

To calculate the entropy change for different phase at same temperature, we use the equation:

\Delta S=n\times \frac{\Delta H_{fusion}}{T}

where,  

\Delta S = Entropy change  = ?

n = moles of ethyl acetate = 4.52 moles

\Delta H_{fusion} = enthalpy of fusion = 10.5 kJ/mol = 10500 J/mol   (Conversion factor:  1 kJ = 1000 J)

T = temperature of the system = 84.0^oC=[84+273]K=357K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta S=\frac{4.52mol\times 10500J/mol}{357K}\\\\\Delta S=132.9J/K

Hence, the entropy change of the ethyl acetate is 133. J/K

Why are hydrogen bonds important for the properties of water?
zavuch27 [327]
Water has the special type of attraction called Hydrogen bonding.  The bonds between the Hydrogen and the Oxygen in each water molecule make a super dipole because the Oxygen atom is way more electronegative than the hydrogen atom.  These OH bonds can then be attracted to other H2O molecules.  If you have ever poured water up to the brim and there is  little bit of water that is poking above the top, hydrogen bonding keeps those water molecules from spilling

Can DDT only be synthesized one way?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) was developed as the first of the modern synthetic insecticides in the 1940s. It was initially used with great effect to combat malaria, typhus, and the other insect-borne human diseases among both military and civilian populations. It also was effective for insect control in crop and livestock production, institutions, homes, and gardens. DDT's quick success as a pesticide and broad use in the United States and other countries led to the development of resistance by many insect pest species.

Regulation Due to Health and Environmental Effects

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the federal agency with responsibility for regulating pesticides before the formation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, began regulatory actions in the late 1950s and 1960s to prohibit many of DDT's uses because of mounting evidence of the pesticide's declining benefits and environmental and toxicological effects. The publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring stimulated widespread public concern over the dangers of improper pesticide use and the need for better pesticide controls.

In 1972, EPA issued a cancellation order for DDT based on its adverse environmental effects, such as those to wildlife, as well as its potential human health risks. Since then, studies have continued, and a relationship between DDT exposure and reproductive effects in humans is suspected, based on studies in animals. In addition, some animals exposed to DDT in studies developed liver tumors. As a result, today, DDT is classified as a probable human carcinogen by U.S. and international authorities.

DDT is:

known to be very persistent in the environment,

will accumulate in fatty tissues, and

can travel long distances in the upper atmosphere.

After the use of DDT was discontinued in the United States, its concentration in the environment and animals has decreased, but because of its persistence, residues of concern from historical use still remain.

Current Status

Since 1996, EPA has been participating in international negotiations to control the use of DDT and other persistent organic pollutants used around the world. Under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme, countries joined together and negotiated a treaty to enact global bans or restrictions on persistent organic pollutants (POPs), a group that includes DDT. This treaty is known as the Stockholm Convention on POPs. The Convention includes a limited exemption for the use of DDT to control mosquitoes that transmit the microbe that causes malaria - a disease that still kills millions of people worldwide.

In September 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared its support for the indoor use of DDT in African countries where malaria remains a major health problem, citing that benefits of the pesticide outweigh the health and environmental risks. The WHO position is consistent with the Stockholm Convention on POPs, which bans DDT for all uses except for malaria control.

DDT is one of 12 pesticides recommended by the WHO for indoor residual spray programs. It is up to individual countries to decide whether or not to use DDT. EPA works with other agencies and countries to advise them on how DDT programs are developed and monitored, with the goal that DDT be used only within the context of programs referred to as Integrated Vector Management. EXIT IVM is a decison-making process for use of resources to yield the best possible results in vector control, and that it be kept out of agricultural sectors.
