In which of the following reactions is ΔS positive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ira [324]3 years ago
5 0
Answer: letter b. 

Why?
 Because Entropy(ΔS) INCREASES when INCREASING disorder in a reaction.

A. INCORRECT. Negative ΔS. This is because there are less molecules of gas in the products compared to the reactants.
B. CORRECT. Positive ΔS. This is because you are increasing disorder by breaking down a solid(highly ordered) molecule into two ions in solution(in solution they are less ordered).
C. INCORRECT. Negative ΔS. This is because you are going from a (g)gas which has more disorder to a (s)solid which has much less disorder than a gas.
D. INCORRECT. Negative ΔS. This is because you are decreasing disorder by building a single molecule. There are also more moles of gas on the reactants side indicating a negative ΔS.

Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. what would be the mass of a sample whose volume is 10.0 cm3?
anastassius [24]
Hey there!

Density = 2.70 g/cm³

Volume = 10.0 cm³

Therefore:

Mass = density *  volume

Mass = 2.70 * 10.0

Mass = 27.0 g

PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

  • Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

    => 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)  <= Standard Form of Rxn

  • Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

    => 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Chemical properties are properties that can be measured or observed only when matter undergoes a change to become an entirely different kind of matter. They include reactivity, flammability, and the ability to rust. Reactivity is the ability of matter to react chemically with other substances.

Ordered: 0.3 gm. Available: 300 mg/tablet. How many tablets should be given?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

1 tablet

Explanation:

Assuming that gm stands for gram:

Put everything in one unit, 0.3 g = 300 mg.

And given that each tablet is 300 mg:

mass/amount = 300mg / 1 tablet

300mg / X amount = 300mg / 1 tablet

(300mg/300mg) tablet = X = 1 tablet

So it is 1 tablet you need.

How will you test for the gas which is liberated when hcl reacts with an active metal ?
DENIUS [597]
When HCl reacts with a metal, hydrogen gas will be evolved. To test this gas, insert a burning splinter into the outlet of gas, the flame will be extinguished with a pop sound. This will confirm the gas is hydrogen.
