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.

An ionic bond can be formed when one or more electrons are
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Are transferred completely from the valence shell of an element to the other

Explanation:

Basically, to form a chemical bond, you either transfer or you share. When you share, it is a case of covalent bonding which can be in several other forms. When there is a transfer, it is a case of ionic bonding.

The basic explanation for this is that while some atoms are electronically sufficient, some are electronically deficient. This means while some atoms are having an excess number of electrons, then some are having less number of electrons.

To satisfy both parties, there must be a transfer if electrons between the two parties. While the one with the excess numbers serves as the donor, the one with insufficient number of electrons serve as the acceptor

What is the contrast of these two atoms?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The atomic number of silicon is 14 while atomic mass of carbon is 14.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

In given atoms ¹⁴₆C  and ²⁸₁₄Si the atomic mass of carbon is 14 while the atomic number of silicon is 14. It means silicon has 14 electrons or protons while carbon has 6 protons or electrons because its atomic number is 6. Carbon has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus while silicon has 14 protons and 14 neutrons in its nucleus.

In C:

Number of neutrons + protons = 8 + 6 = 14 amu (mass number)

Number of electrons = 6

In Si:

Number of neutrons + protons = 14 + 14 = 28 amu (mass number)

Number of electrons = 14

How Do Glow Sticks Glow?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

All liquid glow products depend on a chemical process known as CHEMILUMINESCENCE to produce their light. Chemiluminesence is a chemical reaction that causes a release of energy in the form of light. To produce this light the electrons in the chemicals become excited and rise to a higher energy level.

To utilise this process glowsticks contain two liquids; hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl alcohol. When mixed together it is these liquids that create the glow. Fluorescent dyes are also used in the alcohol to alter the colour of the light emitted.

An initial mixture of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is reacted in a rigid container at a certain temperature by the reaction At
anygoal [31]

Answer: [N2]₀ = 10M and [H2]₀ = 11M

Explanation: To calculate the initial concentration, you would have to set up an ICE table, which is an organized way of tracking known quantities or the ones you want to find. ICE stands for:

I is initial amount;

C is change in concentration;

E is for equilibrium concentration;

For the mixture,

       N2                       3H2                2NH3

I      [N2]₀                     [H2]₀                  0

C     - x                          -3x                 +2x

E     [N2]₀ - x =8      [H2]₀ - 3x =5       2x =4

With the product, we can find "x":

2x=4

x=2M

With x=2, find the concentrations:

[N2]₀ - x = 8

[N2]₀ = 10M

[H2]₀ - 3x = 5

[H2]₀ = 11M

The initial concentrations of nitrogen gas [N2] is 10.0 M and of hydrogen gas [H2] is 11.0 M.
