Answer: melting gold bars

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

1. Condensing water vapor: gaseous phase is being converted to liquid phase, thus the randomness is decreasing.

2. Melting gold bars: Solid phase is being converted to liquid phase, thus the randomness is increasing.

3. filtering grounds from coffee: The randomness is decreasing as some particles are being removed.

4. freezing popsicles: liquid phase is converting to solid phase, thus the randomness is decreasing.

Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

1. Number of moles, n

$n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol$

2. Mass

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.

The diameter of metal wire is often referred to by its American wire-gauge number. A 16 gauge-wire has a diameter of 0.05082 in.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

length of wire = 38.82 m

Explanation:

∴ 16 gauge ≡ 0.05082 in * ( 2.54 cm/in ) = 0.12908 cm

∴ m spool = 1 Lb = 453.592 g

∴ ρ = 8.92 g/cm³

cross section area:

⇒ A = π*D²/4 = π*(0.12908)²/4 = 0.0131 cm²

⇒ L = ((453.592 g) *(cm³/8.92 g)) / ( 0.0131 cm² )

⇒ L = 3881.765 cm * ( m/100cm) = 38.82 m

What is the molarity of the Ca(OH)2 solution if 32.00 mL of Ca(OH)2 requires 16.08 mL of a 2.303 M solution for complete titrati

amm1812

Answer:

For this problem we just need to remember the equation and that the volume is always in liters: MaVa=MbVb

Ma= 1.338 mol/L Va= 18.75 mL= 0.01875 L Mb= x Vb=24.73 mL= 0.02473 L

So now we can plug into the equation and solve:

1.338 mol/L * 0.01875 L= x mol/L * 0.02473 L

This is a two step process: stoichiometry and using the answer from the first part to plug and chug it into the Molariy equation.

First step: setup the stoichiometry problem:

3.1171 g Na2CO3 * (1 mol/106 g) * (2 mol HCl/ 1 mol Na2CO3)= mol HCl

Second step: Molarity equation

Molarity= moles HCl/ L M= mol HCl/0.04027 L

For the third problem, you will just use the same equation as the first: MaVa= MbVb

Ma=0.57 M Va= x L Mb= 0.875 M Vb= 23.83 mL= 0.02383 L

0.57 M * x L= 0.875 M * 0.02383 L

With this equation, we want to find the moles of NaOH by using the molarity equation first then because MaVa= MbVb, we know that the number of moles has to be equal.

0.75 M= x mol/ 0.0227 L mol NaOH = 0.75 M *0.0227 L mol NaOH= 0.017025

So next, we can set it to the mass of the acid using this equation: Molar Mass= mass/ moles

Molar Mass= 3.6 g/ 0.017025 mol

And with that you will find the molar mass of HX, and even determine what X is.

878 kilograms to milligrams ( 8.78 E 8)

sammy [17]

K stands for thousands
1 k = 1000
1 milli = 0.001
covert 878kg to g
878 x 1000=878000 g or (8.78^5)
convert g to mg
878000 / 0.001 =878,000,000
=8.78^8
^ or E means power of
