Can swords shatter from cold temperatures

Chemistry
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
6 0
Depends on how the sword is made, what materials are used and temperature used but yes they can shatter.

When molecules cool down they stop vibrating and moving as much and so they "shrink" and the metal of the sword becomes brittle. sometimes they shrink at different phases which cause tension in the sword if this tension is strong enough it can cause the metallic bonds to break causing the sword to shatter.

hope that helps

At which temperature would a reaction with H -92 kJ/mol, S -0.199 kJ/(mol-K) be spontaneous? A.600k B.500k C.400k D.700k
stiv31 [10]

Given information : H = -92 KJ/mol and S = -0.199 KJ/(mol.K)

At equilibrium G = 0

We have to find the Temperature at which reaction would be spontaneous.

For spontaneous reaction : \triangle G = negative (-)

For non-spontaneous reaction : \triangle G = positive (+)

We can find the temperature using the formula for Gibbs free energy which is:

\triangle G = \bigtriangleup H - T\bigtriangleup S

Where, G = Gibbs free energy ,

H = Enthalpy

S = Entropy

T = Temperature

By plugging the value of G , H and S in the above formula we can find 'T'

\triangle G = \bigtriangleup H - T\bigtriangleup S

Since reaction should be spontaneous that means \triangle G should be negative , so the above formula can be written as :

\triangle G < \bigtriangleup H - T\bigtriangleup S

On rearranging the above formula we get :

0 < \bigtriangleup H - T\bigtriangleup S

T < \frac{\bigtriangleup H}{\bigtriangleup S}

T < \frac{-92\frac{KJ}{mol}}{-0.199\frac{KJ}{mol.K}}

T < (\frac{-92}{-0.199})\times (\frac{KJ}{mol})\times (\frac{mol.K}{KJ})

T < 462.3 K

For the reaction to be spontaneous , T should be less than 462.3 K, so out of given option , C is correct which is 400 K.
