Entropy is measure of disorder in system. Higher the disorder, greater the entropy.

Pair 1: NO2 (g) and N2O4 (g)
In the above case, entropy of N2O4 is more as compared to NO2, because N2O4 has more number of bonds as compared to NO2. So large number of vibrational energy levels are available for energy distribution which results in increasing entropy.

Pair 2: CH3OCH3(l) and CH3CH2OH(l)
Above compounds are structure isomers. They have same number of bonds and vibrational energy levels. However, presence of -OH group in CH3CH2OH results in intermolecular interaction via H bonding. This results in an ordered structure in CH3CH2OH as compared to  CH3OCH3. Due to this entropy in CH3CH2OH is lower as compared to CH3OCH3.

Pair 3: HCl(g) and HBr(g)
In present case, HBr will have higher entropy as compared to HCl, because of larger number of sub-atomic particles in Br. Also, the higher molecular mass of HBr favors larger entropy.

in terms of amounts of energy and harmful radioactive waste produced , which of the following is the most accurate comparison of
Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion produces more energy with less radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission process.

  • In nuclear fission, a radioactive decay occurs in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into two lighter nuclei and several neutrons with the release of energy.
  • Nuclear fusion occurs when small atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.
  • Instability of a nuclide is enough to start up a nuclear fission reaction. In some instances, a heavy nuclide is bombarded with another nuclide.
  • In nuclear fusion, the activation energy required to start up is very great.

Nuclear wastes emanating from nuclear fusion process is least compared to that of nuclear fission.

Nuclear fusion produces more energy  compared to nuclear fission process.

In an accident, a solution containing 2.5 kg of nitric acid was spilled. Two kilograms of Na2CO3 was quickly spread on the area
storchak [24]

First we must write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Na_2CO_3 _(_a_q_)+ 2HNO_3_(_a_q_) \implies 2NaNO_3_(_s_) + CO_2_(_g_) + H_2O_(_l_)

The mole ratio for the reaction between HNO_3 and Na_2CO_3 is 1:2. This means 1 moles of Na_2CO_3 will neutralize 2 moles HNO_3. Now we find the moles of each reactant based on the mass and molar mass.

2500g HNO_3 \times \frac{mol}{63.01g\ HNO_3} = 39.67 mol\ HNO_3

2000g\ Na_2CO_3 \times \frac{mol}{105.99g \ Na_2CO_3} = 18.87 mol\ Na_2CO_3

\frac{18.87 mol Na_2CO_3}{39.67\ HNO_3} = \frac{1 molNa_2CO_3}{2 mol HNO_3}

The Na_2CO_3 was enough to neutralize the acid because 18.87:39.67 is the same as 1:2 mol ratio.

1. Explain how groups 1A-8A in the periodic table are organized by their number of valence electrons.
nirvana33 [79]

Explanation:

1. Explain how groups 1A-8A in the periodic table are organized by their number of valence electrons.

The valence electrons in an atom are the outermost shell electrons. They are the most loosely held electrons in an atom.

Coincidentally, the periodic table of elements divided into vertical groups and horizontal periods can be said to be arranged according to the number of valence electrons.

  • Atomic numbers are used to arrange elements on the periodic table.
  • Down a group, the number of electronic shell increases. More electrons are added to new energy levels.
  • As we move from left to right across a period, the number of electrons in elements increases but electronic shell is the same.
  • Down a group electronic shell increases but the number of valence electrons are the same.
  • All elements in Group 1A has just one valence electrons, Group 2A has two valence electrons.........Group 8A has eight valence electrons.
  • Moving across groups is synonymous to moving from left to right on the periodic table.
  • Due to this trend, the periodic table is arranged based on the number of valence electrons.

3. explain how you know the number of valence electrons for each group.

The number of valence electrons in a group is the group number:

   Group      Number                     valence electrons

              1A                                                 1

              2A                                                2

              3A                                                 3

              4A                                                 4

               5A                                                5

               6A                                                6

               7A                                                7

               8A                                                8

Which type of carbon fixation stores carbon dioxide in acid form? a. c3 b. c4 c. cam d. all of the above
Luba_88 [7]

The type of carbon fixation stores carbon dioxide in acid form is CAM i.e. crassulacean acid metabolism.

<h3>What are CAM?</h3>

CAM stands for crassulacean acid metabolism in this process photosynsthesis is occured at day time but the exchange of gases takes place at night itself only.

In this carbon fixation process, carbon dioxide is stored in the form of organic acid malic acid and losses carbon dioxide at the night time and by doing this it helps in the storage of water.

Hence option (C) is correct.
