In which of the following reactions is ΔS positive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ira [324]3 years ago

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.

Sulfur dioxide, SO2(g), can react with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide, SO3(g), by the following reaction
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The heat produced is -15,1kJ

Explanation:

For the reaction:

2SO₂+O₂ → 2SO₃

The enthalpy of reaction is:

ΔHr = 2ΔHf SO₃ - 2ΔHf SO₂

As ΔHf SO₃ = -395,7kJ and ΔHf SO₂ = -296,8kJ

<em>ΔHr = -197,8kJ</em>

Using n=PV/RT, the moles of reaction are:

n = \frac{1,00atm*3,75L}{0,082atmL/molK*298,15K} = <em>0,153 moles of reaction</em>

As 2 moles of reaction produce -197,8kJ of heat, 0,153moles produce:

0,153mol×\frac{-197,8kJ}{2mol} = <em>-15,1kJ</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

When an ionic compound dissolves in water, the individual ions first leave the crystal lattice and then each ion becomes surroun
vichka [17]

The entropy of the process in which the  individual ions first leave the crystal lattice is positive while the entropy of the process whereby the each ion becomes surrounded by a cluster of polar water molecules is negative.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

The term entropy has to do with the degree of disorder in a system. The higher the entropy of the system, the more the disorderliness of the system.

Now, the entropy of the process in which the  individual ions first leave the crystal lattice is positive while the entropy of the process whereby the each ion becomes surrounded by a cluster of polar water molecules is negative.

What is the parent isotope when Cl-33 is formed during a beta decay?
zzz [600]

Answer:

33/16 S

Explanation:

In beta decay, the atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit while the mass of the daughter nucleus remains the same as that of the parent nucleus.

Hence, if we know that a beta decay has occurred, then the parent nucleus must have the same mass as its daughter nucleus but have an atomic number that is less than that of the daughter nucleus by only one unit, hence the answer above.

Phosphoric acid h3po4 is an important industrial chemical used in fertilizers, detergents, and the food industry. it is produced
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

1)   P₄ + 5O₂ → P₄O₁₀  redox reaction

2)   P₄O₁₀ + 6H₂O → 4H₃PO₄  acid-base reaction

3)   Ca₅(PO₄)₃F + 5H₂SO₄ → 3H₃PO₄ + HF + 5CaSO₄  precipitation reaction

Explanation:

The reactions that take place in the <u>electric furnace method</u> are:

1)   P₄ + 5O₂ → P₄O₁₀

This is a redox reaction, because the oxidation state of the reactants is changed.

2)   P₄O₁₀ + 6H₂O → 4H₃PO₄

This is an acid-base reaction, because there's an exchange of H⁺ species.

The reaction that takes place in the <u>wet process</u> is:

3)   Ca₅(PO₄)₃F + 5H₂SO₄ → 3H₃PO₄ + HF + 5CaSO₄

This is an precipitation reaction, because a precipitate (a solid phase in a liquid phase) is formed.
