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

For a reaction system at equilibrium, LeChatelier's principle can be used to predict the A) activation energy for the system B)
SCORPION-xisa [38]

For a reaction system at equilibrium, LeChatelier's principle can be used to predict the "effect of a stress on the system".

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Le Chatelier's theory can be implemented to forecast a system's behavior due to variations in pressure, temperature, or concentration that will lead in predictable and contested variations in the system adjustments to establish a new state of equilibrium. This means that adding heat to a process would favor the endothermic path of a reaction, because this decreases the amount of heat generated in the system.

Here shift in equilibrium take place when volume increase, the total pressure decreases, which have potential to reverse the reaction, while on increasing pressure of system, the total volume decreases of the gaseous system, which can shift an equilibrium in the direction of the fewer molecules.

Round 10235.0 to four significant figuers
dolphi86 [110]
Greetings!

Significant Digits are:
-Non Zero Numbers
-Zeros in between Non Zero Numbers
-Trailing zeros to the right of the decimal point

So when rounding to 4 significant figures, we get:
1023

Hope this helps.

Which element is a liquid at 25 celsius degrees and 1.0 atm?
mojhsa [17]
The answer would be letter A - bromine. Bromine <span>(B<span>r2</span>)</span> has only london dispersion forces and are weak, but it's large electron cloud allows for transient polarization creating dipole moments that strengthen their interaction.
