<h2>Answer</h2><h3>C. Mg</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

When magnesium is in the metallic form it gets burn very easily in air. To start the reaction, the magnesium metal requires a source of energy. The flame provides heat so that the magnesium can overcome their activation energy. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed in the system for a chemical reaction to proceed. Oxygen found in the air forms Magnesium Oxide when the magnesium metal burns in the air. A compound is in which atoms of different elements are linked or bonded to one another. Oxygen and magnesium react to form this compound and forms a white powder of the magnesium oxide that brightens it up.

Which of the following reactions have a positive ΔSrxn? Check all that apply.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The reactions that have a <em>positive ΔS rxn </em>are the first and the fourth choices:

  • <em>2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)</em>

  • <em>2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)</em>

Explanation:

<em>ΔS rxn </em>is the change of entropy of the chemical reaction.

ΔS rxn = S after reaction - S before reaction.

Therefore, a positive ΔS rxn  means that the entropy after the reaction is greater than the entropy before the reaction.

You may use some assumptions to predict whether a reaction will lead an increase or decrease of the entropy.

First, assume that all the non-shown conditions, such as temperature and pressure, are constant.

Under that assumption, and from the meaning of entropy as a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system you can predict the sign of the change of entropy.

  • <em><u>2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)</u></em>

        1)  The solid compounds, B(s) in this case, are very ordered and so they have low entropy.

        2) Gas molecules are highly disordered (scattered), and the greater the number of molecules of the gas the larger the entropy, S).

Hence, since the product side shows 3 gas molecules and the reactant side shows 2 gas molecules and 1 solid molecule, you predict that the products have a larger entropy than the reactants, meaning an increase in entropy: <em>ΔS rxn is positive.</em>

  • <em><u>2A(g) + B(g) → C(g)</u></em>

Using the same reasoning, 3 gas molecules in the  reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

  • <u><em>A(g) + B(g) → C(g)</em></u>

Again, 2 gas molecules in the  reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

  • <u><em>2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)</em></u>

With the same reasoing, 5 molecules in the product side, lets you predict that will have more entropy than 4 molecules in the reactant side, and, the entropy will increase: <em>ΔS rxn is positive.</em>
