Answer:

\Delta S_{surr} = + 0.32113\: kJ/K

Explanation:

Given: Entropy of surrounding: ΔSsurr = ?

Temperature: T= 355 K

The change in enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = -114 kJ

Pressure: P = constant

As we know, ΔH = -114 kJ ⇒ negative

Therefore, the given reaction is an exothermic reaction

Therefore, Entropy of surrounding at <em>constant pressure</em> is given by,

\Delta S_{surr} = \frac{-\Delta H}{T}

\therefore \Delta S_{surr} = -\left (\frac{-114 kJ}{355 K}  \right ) = + 0.32113\: kJ/K > 0

<u><em>In the given reaction:</em></u>

2NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g)

As, the number of moles of gaseous products is less than the number of moles of gaseous reactants.

\therefore \Delta S_{system} <  0

As we know, <em>for a spontaneous process, that the total entropy should be positive.</em>

\Delta S_{total} = \Delta S_{surr} + \Delta S_{system} > 0  

<u>Therefore, at the given temperature,</u>

  • if \Delta S_{surr} > \Delta S_{system} \Rightarrow \Delta S_{total} > 0 then the given reaction is spontaneous
  • if \Delta S_{surr} < \Delta S_{system} \Rightarrow \Delta S_{total} < 0 then the given reaction is non-spontaneous

When reactants and products are being formed at an equal rate in a chemical reaction, the ____. a. reaction is endergonic b. fre
attashe74 [19]
<h2>The answer is option b "free energy is zero"</h2>

Explanation

  • The reaction that has negative free energy are called exergonic reactions that means the reactants have more free energy than the product formed.
  • The reaction that has positive free energy are called endergonic reactions that means the final state or the products formed have more free energy than the initial state or the reactants.
  • The reaction that has zero free energy occurs when the free energy of both reactants and the products are same hence the rate of formation of products and reactants are equal.
  • Therefore, when reactants and products are being formed at an equal rate the free energy is zero.

Critically evaluate the role of human beings in perpetuating climate change​
timurjin [86]
Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth's atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gas- es, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere.

Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.
