<span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>
Water is treated by purifying it by adding slaked lime or potash alum
Well, the rings surrounding a planet are made out of rock. A ring surrounding the sun would be impossible since the sun can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)
Hope this helped.
Answer:
What is a Pure Substance?
Explanation:
It is something which cannot be divided into parts by physical means, as it's all made up of the same thing. Pure substances are either elements or compounds. Elements can NOT be separated into other types of matter (physically or chemically).
Answer:
False
Explanation:
All the lanthanides are not radioactive in nature. Just one of the lanthanides are radioactive.
- The lanthanides belong to the f-block on the periodic table
- Only Promethium in this group are radioactive in nature.
- Other elements in the lanthanide series might have radioactive isotopes.
