Well when a particle of air is becomes heated it rises, right? So you could write some like you started off close to the earth (aka the troposphere) until you became heated then you started to rise and as you reached higher elevations you cooled down and you were recycled into cool air and you moved back down and became new fresh cool air until the next time you'll become heated and rise again to be recycled into fresh cool new air.
D.The transferring of thermal energy from the sun to the earth!
Answer:
The reaction must be spontaneous, the disorder of the system increases.
Explanation:
By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a positive change in entropy is due to a net input heat, and entropy is a measure of the grade of disorder within the system. The net input heat means that resultant goes to the system from the surroundings.
By the First Law of Thermodynamics, a net input heat is due to a positive change in enthalpy.
The reaction is endothermic and spontaneous (since change in entropy is positive).
Answer:
A) [H3PO4] will increase, [KH2PO4] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.
Explanation:
A buffer is a solution which resists changes to its pH when a small amount of acid or base is added to it.
Buffers consist of a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A–) or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Weak acids and bases do not completely dissociate in water, and instead exist in solution as an equilibrium of dissociated and undissociated species. When a small quantity of a strong acid is added to a buffer solution, the conjugate base, A-, reacts with the hydrogen ions from the added acid to form the weak acid and a salt thereby removing the extra hydrogen ions from the solution and keeping the pH of the solution fairly constant. On the other hand, if a small quantity of a strong base is added to the buffer solution, the weak acid dissociates further to release hydrogen ions which then react with the hydroxide ions of the added base to form water and the conjugate base.
For example, if a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that is 0.700 M H3PO4 and 0.700 M KH2PO4, the following reaction is obtained:
KH₂PO₄ + H+ ----> K+ + H₃PO₄
Therefore, [H₃PO₄] will increase, [KH₂PO₄] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.:
Answer:
- <u><em>It is positive when the bonds of the product store more energy than those of the reactants.</em></u>
Explanation:
The <em>standard enthalpy of formation</em>, <em>ΔHf</em>, is defined as the energy required to form 1 mole of a substance from its contituent elements under standard conditions of pressure and temperature.
Then, per defintion, when the elements are already at their standard states, there is not energy involved to form them from that very state; this is, the standard enthalpy of formation of the elements in their standard states is zero.
It is not zero for the compounds in its standard state, because energy should be released or absorbed to form the compounds from their consituent elements. Thus, the first choice is false.
When the bonds of the products store more energy than the those of the reactants, the difference is:
- ΔHf = ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants > 0, meaning that ΔHf is positive. Hence, the second statement is true.
Third is false because forming the compounds may require to use (absorb) or release (produce) energy, which means that ΔHf could be positive or negative.
Fourth statement is false, because the standard state of many elements is not liquid. For example, it is required to supply energy to iron to make it liquid. Thus, the enthalpy of formation of iron in liquid state is not zero.
