What is the difference between an enthalpy driven reaction and entropy driven reaction?

1 answer:

5 0

Enthalpy is regarding the amount of heat that is given off or taken in during the process of a reaction, while entropy is about the disorderliness of a reaction.
Both are related in the equation ∆G=∆H-T∆S, where ∆G is the Gibbs free energy. So we can say that a reaction is both enthalpy and entropy driven. It's like, both of them are interlinked with each other.

Answer:

A (I_2(g), Br_2 (g), Cl_2 (g), F_2 (B): The ranking can best be explained by the trend entropy decreases as 5. molar mass decreases.

B (H_2O_2 (g), H_2S(g), H_2O(g): The ranking can best be explained by the decreases a trend entropy decreases as 3. molar mass and structure complexity decreases.

C. (C(s, amorphous), C(s, graphite), C(s, diamond): The ranking can best be explained by the trend entropy decreases as 4. structure complexity decreases.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, we can understand a higher entropy when more disorder is present and a lower entropy when less disorder is present, thus:

A (I_2(g), Br_2 (g), Cl_2 (g), F_2 (B): The ranking can best be explained by the trend entropy decreases as 5. molar mass decreases since iodine has the greatest molar mass (254 g/mol) and fluorine the least molar mass (38 g/mol).

B (H_2O_2 (g), H_2S(g), H_2O(g): The ranking can best be explained by the decreases a trend entropy decreases as 3. molar mass and structure complexity decreases since hydrogen peroxide weights 34 g/mol as well as hydrogen sulfide but the peroxide has more bonds (more complex, higher entropy).

C. (C(s, amorphous), C(s, graphite), C(s, diamond): The ranking can best be explained by the trend entropy decreases as 4. structure complexity decreases since diamond has a well-ordered structure and amorphous carbon has a very disordered one.

Best regards.

State the location and the total charge of the protons in a Ni-64 atom.

blsea [12.9K]

Location = nucleus ,
and you can see the total charge on the number that written below the substance, which would be 28+

hope this helps

Gallium chloride is formed by the reaction of 2.25 L of a 1.50 M solution of HCl according to the following equation: 2Ga 6HCl -

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

198.56g of GaCl3

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole HCl in 2.25 L of a 1.50 M solution of HCl. This is illustrated below:

Molarity of HCl = 1.50 M

Volume = 2.25 L

Mole of HCl =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

1.5 = mole /2.25

Cross multiply

Mole = 1.5 x 2.25

Mole of HCl = 3.375 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole Gallium chloride, GaCl3 produced from the reaction. This is shown below:

2Ga + 6HCl —> 2GaCl3 + 3H2

From the balanced equation above,

6 moles of HCl reacted to produce 2 moles of GaCl3.

Therefore, 3.375 mole of HCl will react to produce = (3.375 x 2)/6 = 1.125 mole of GaCl3.

Therefore, 1.125 moles of GaCl3 were produced from the reaction.

Next, we shall convert 1.125 mole of GaCl3 to grams. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of GaCl3 = 70 + (35.5x3) = 176.5g/mol

Mole of GaCl3 = 1.125 mole

Mass of GaCl3 =..?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

1.125 = mass of GaCl3 /176.5

Cross multiply

Mass of GaCl3 = 1.125 x 176.5

Mass of GaCl3 = 198.56g

Therefore, 198.56g of GaCl3 were produced from the reaction.
