Answer:  1.  Water freezing : \Delta S is -ve.

2. Water evaporating : \Delta S is +ve.

3. Crystalline urea dissolving : \Delta S is +ve.

4. Assembly of the plasma membrane from individual lipids: \Delta S is -ve.

5.  Assembly of a protein from individual amino acids: \Delta S is -ve.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the measurement of degree of randomness in a system.

It is represented by symbol S and we can only measure a change in entropy which is given by \Delta S.

If there is decrease in randomness , the sign for \Delta S is -ve and If there is increase in randomness , the sign for \Delta S is +ve.

1.  Water freezing: Entropy decreases as we move from liquid state to  to solid state and thus \Delta S is -ve.

2. Water evaporating : Entropy increases as we move from liquid state to  gaseous state and thus \Delta S is +ve.

3. Crystalline urea dissolving : The molecules convert from solid and ordered state to aqueous phase and random state. Thus the entropy increases and thus \Delta S is +ve.

4. Assembly of the plasma membrane from individual lipids:  random lipids are associating to form a single large polymer and thus entropy decreases and thus \Delta S is -ve.

5. Assembly of a protein from individual amino acids: random amino acids are associating to form a single large polymer and thus entropy decreases and thus \Delta S is -ve.

How does convection affect the earths atmosphere
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

I think the layers of the atmosphere does temperature increase with increasing height. It is affected by convection because it heats the lower atmosphere. It is affected by conduction because the is the transfer of thermal energy. I guess

A 0.964 gram sample of a mixture of sodium formate and sodium chloride is analyzed by adding sulfuric acid. The equation for the
frosja888 [35]

Answer: 67.8 %.

Explanation:

Okay, let us delve right into the solution to the question;

The balanced chemical reaction is given by the equation (1) below;

2 HCOONa + H2SO4 ---------> 2 CO + 2 H2O + Na2SO4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

From the balanced chemical reaction in equation (1) above we can see that; 2 moles of HCOONa reacts with one moles of tetraoxosulphate acid, H2SO4 to produce 2 moles of carbonmonoxide,CO; 2 moles of water, H2O and 1 mole of sodium tetraoxosulphate, Na2SO4.

The parameters given from the question are; total atmospheric pressure, P(t) = 752 torr, volume of CO= 242 mL = 0.242 Litres.

STEP ONE : find the carbon monoxide,CO pressure; P(CO).

Using the formula below;

P(t) = P(CO) + P(H2O). Hence;

P(CO) = P(t) - P(H2O). Note that P(H2O)= 19.8 torr.

==>P(CO)= 752 torr - 19.8 torr = 732.2 torr.

STEP TWO: calculate the number of moles of Carbonmonoxide,CO.

Using the formula below;

Number of moles= pressure(P) × volume(v) / gas constant(R) × temperature (T).

That is, n= PV/RT.

n= 732 torr × 0.242 Litres/ 62.4 × 295.15.

= 9.62 × 10^-3 mol of CO.

STEP THREE:

2 moles of HCOONa = 2 moles of CO.

=> 2 moles of HCOONa = 2 moles of CO/ 2 moles of CO = 1 mol( HCOONa/ CO).

Then, 9.62 × 10^-3 mol of CO × 1 mol( HCOONa/ CO).

==> 9.62 × 10^-3 mol HCOONa × molar masss of HCOONa(68 grams/mol)

= 0.654 grams.

Therefore, the percentage of sodium formate in the original mixture = 0.654 grams/ 0.964 gram × 100 = 67.8 %.

2. The pressure of the oxygen gas inside a
Flauer [41]

Answer: 4.41 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

Original pressure of oxygen gas (P1) = 5.00 atm

Original temperature of oxygen gas (T1) = 25°C

[Convert 25°C to Kelvin by adding 273

25°C + 273 = 298K

New pressure of oxygen gas (P2) = ?

New temperature of oxygen gas (T2) = -10°C

[Convert -10°C to Kelvin by adding 273

-10°C + 273 = 263K

Since pressure and temperature are given while volume is held constant, apply the formula for Charle's law

P1/T1 = P2/T2

5.00 atm /298K = P2/263K

To get the value of P2, cross multiply

5.00 atm x 263K = 298K x V2

1315 atm•K = 298K•V2

V2 = 1315 atm•K / 298K

V2 = 4.41 atm

Thus, the new pressure inside the canister is 4.41 atmosphere

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Explain how a pure metal is held together. Include a definition of a metallic bond in your explanation. Pl
vazorg [7]

Explanation:

A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.

In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.

Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.
