In which of the following reactions is ΔS positive?

1 answer:

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.

#1
The correct answer is A.)

Because the animal has sperm that means that the offspring will be different. This is because at conception, the two parents sex cells combine their DNA to make a new creature.

#2
The correct answer is B.)

Genetic variation produces different offspring, and some are more adapted to others. The ones that survive pass on their genes. This is know as "Survival of the Fittest". Asexually organisms are exactly like their parents, so if they have any type of genetic defaults, then their offspring will get them too.

Hope this helps!
