What does the law of conservation say about matter?

1 answer:

6 0

The Law of Conservation says that matter cannot be created or destroyed, all matter is re-used. Going into mass here, which does relate, the product's mass will always equal the mass of the reactants.

How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?

Bess [88]

Answer:-

Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.

When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.

The water molecules now surround these ions.

The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.

So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.

Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.

Consider only the experiment you conducted with 0.5 g. of lactose.

rjkz [21]

Answer is: the pH value(level) is the independent variable.

Missing question: We conducted an experiment where we added 0.5 g of lactose to 5 different test tubes all containing 5 different pH levels. What is the independent variable?
In this experiment pH level changes, so results depend on different pH values.
Mass of lactose is same during experiment,so the number of molecules of product formed per minute is the dependent variable.

If the products of a certain reaction are favored (i.e., the ΔG value of the reaction is negative), one would expect a significa

Over [174]

Answer:

positive H and negative S

Explanation:

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the absolute best combination is a negative Delta H and a positive Delta S. When they are both positive, the reaction is only spontaneous at higher temperatures. When they are both negative, the reaction is only spontaneous at lower temperatures. and again if a catalyst is added to the reaction, the activation energy is lowered because a lower-energy transition state is formed. The catalyst does not affect the energy of the reactants or products (and thus does not affect ΔG).

So from these discussions

Ea does not affect G value at all (whether +Ea or -Ea).

And for product to be formed the reaction should be spontaneous, where H is negative and S positive else the reaction will yield low product.

The chemical symbol of several elements are given below. Determine the atomic number of each element. Chemical Atomic Number Sym

spayn [35]

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For A:

1) Fe

The atom given to us is iron. It is present in Group 8 and period 4 of the periodic table. The atomic number of iron is 26

2) Be

The atom given to us is beryllium. It is present in Group 2 and period 2 of the periodic table. The atomic number of beryllium is 4

3) Kr

The atom given to us is krypton. It is present in Group 18 and period 4 of the periodic table. The atomic number of iron is 36

For B:

1) $_{24}^{53}\textrm{Cr}$

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 24

Mass number = 53

Number of neutrons = 53 - 24 = 29

The number of protons, electrons and neutrons for the given element are 24, 24 and 29 respectively

2) $_{44}^{103}\textrm{Ru}$

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 44

Mass number = 103

Number of neutrons = 103 - 44 = 59

The number of protons, electrons and neutrons for the given element are 44, 44 and 59 respectively

3) $_{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn}$

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 30

Mass number = 67

Number of neutrons = 67 - 30 = 37

The number of protons, electrons and neutrons for the given element are 30, 30 and 37 respectively

For C:

1) Atomic number = 14; Mass number = 28

The element having atomic number '14' is Silicon

The isotopic symbol of the element is $_{14}^{28}\textrm{Si}$

The symbol of the element is 'Si'

2) Atomic number = 18; Mass number = 40

The element having atomic number '18' is Argon

The isotopic symbol of the element is $_{18}^{40}\textrm{Ar}$

The symbol of the element is 'Ar'

3) Atomic number = 19; Mass number = 39

The element having atomic number '19' is Potassium

The isotopic symbol of the element is $_{19}^{39}\textrm{K}$

The symbol of the element is 'K'
