Why does Hg2+ have a negative standard entropy

Chemistry
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Hg∧2+ has a negative standard entropy because the ions are highly solvated in aqueous phase; smaller the ionic size, the more highly it is surrounded by solvated ions. Therefore it will be in highly ordered state hence the entropy decreases.

Hg2 ^2+ has a positive standard entropy because the ionic size of Hg^2+ is smaller than Hg2 ^2+, so therefore the Hg^2+ is highly solvated and that means that it is in highly ordered state.  Hg2 ^2+  is not highly solvated so it will have a positive entropy

Explanation:

The values of standard entropy of aqueous ions has a negative standard entropy because the ions are highly solvated in aqueous phase; smaller the ionic size, the more highly it is surrounded by solvated ions. Therefore it will be in highly ordered state hence the entropy decreases.

Hg2 ^2+ has a positive standard entropy because the ionic size of Hg^2+ is smaller than Hg2 ^2+, so therefore the Hg^2+ is highly solvated and that means that it is in highly ordered state.  Hg2 ^2+  is not highly solvated so it will have a positive entropy

A green laser pointer emits light with a wavelength of 542 nm. What is the frequency of this light?
ehidna [41]
As we know that wavelength and frequency is inversely proportional to each other. Greater the wavelength smaller the frequency and vice versa.
 
Solution:


The relation between wavelength and frequency is as follow,

υ = c / λ

where
            υ = frequency = ?
            c = velocity of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹
            λ = wavenumber = 542 nm = 542 × 10⁻⁹ m
Putting the given values,
    
            υ = 3.0 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹ / 542 × 10⁻⁹ m
Result:
            υ = 5.53 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

A student cleaned their glassware with tap water (known to contain chloride ions). They then attempted to make a 0.020 M solutio
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → AgCl(s)

Explanation:

The silver nitrate, AgNO₃, dissolves in water as follows:

AgNO₃(aq) → Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

The Ag⁺ reacts with Cl⁻ producing AgCl(s), a white insoluble salt. The net ionic equation that describes the formation of the precipitate is:

<h3>Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → AgCl(s)</h3><h3 /><h3 />

which of these is an example of a chemical change A breaking glass B mealting ice on a windshield C burning gasoline D denting a
Nonamiya [84]

Lets do process of elimination!

A. Breaking glass - That is a psychical change because if you break it, it is still glass. It didn't change to another substance.

B. Melting ice on a windshield - During the melting process, there is no chemical change, and therefore, no new substance is created.  

C. Burning gasoline - When gas burns it usually combines with oxygen to give carbon dioxide, water etc.  It is a chemical change.

D. Denting a bumper - The bumper is still a bumper, only thing is it has a dent in it. The properties did not change, meaning no chemical change.
