The physical world around us behaves as it does partly because it’s made of a huge number of tiny molecules, each behaving rando

mly. In the 1800’s, the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell imagined that seemingly non-random things would happen on a random basis in our real world. The fastest-moving molecules would occasionally all find themselves in one part of a water glass and begin to boil, while the slower ones, left to themselves for a bit, would freeze elsewhere in the glass. Or, at some point, all the molecules in a room would randomly be moving in just one direction, rather than every which way. The term associated with such weird hypothetical scenarios is “Maxwell’s demon.” Explain why you think we don’t see weird things like this happen, on a random basis in real life. Imagine this randomly weird world for a minute. Describe something that would make it very difficult (or at least interesting) to live in a “Maxwell’s demon” world.

I don't think that "Maxwell's demon" is possible to happen. Take for example a boiling water poured in a glass and cold water poured in the same glass. They each have different temperatures but when they are put together in the same container, the boiling water releases its energy and absorbs some coldness of the cold water and vice versa. In the end, the water temperature will be the average temperature of both types of water. Boiling water and cold water in the same container can never keep their original temperature. It just is not possible. Even if there is a glass partition to separate these waters, heat and coldness will still be transferred between the two through the glass partition.

What is the enthalpy of combustion when 1 mol C6H6(g) completely reacts with oxygen? 2C6H6(g) 15O2(g) mc001-1. Jpg 12CO2(g) 6H2O
Andrei [34K]

The enthalpy of combustion of 1 mole of benzene is 3169 kJ/mol .

The first step in answering this question is to obtain the balanced thermochemical equation of the reaction. The thermochemical equation shows the amount of heat lost or gained.

The thermochemical equation for the combustion of benzene is;

2 C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) → 12 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g) ΔrH° = -3169 kJ/mol

We can see that 1 mole of benzene releases about 3169 kJ/mol of heat.

A student dropped a piece of nickel metal into a solution of HCl(aq). He observed the formation of gas bubbles and collected the
omeli [17]

Answer:

a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

Explanation:

It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.

But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

$Ni + HCl(aq) = NiCl + H_2$

Thus the correct option is (a).
