Why doesn’t a broken wineglass spontaneously fix itself, from a thermodynamic point of view?

The answer is the option<span> 3.) Fixing a wineglass requires a large decrease in entropy.



Entropy is a termodynamical variable and it is defined as the degree of disorder of the system.



As per the second law of thermodynamics the spontaneous changes only occur when the entropy increases.



</span>Fixing the broken glasses by itself meant to decrease the entropy spontaneusly which violate the principle or second law of thermodynamics. So, it is not possible.

g The decomposition reaction of A to B is a first-order reaction with a half-life of 2.42×103 seconds: A → 2B If the initial con
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

In 23.49 minutes the concentration of A to be 66.8% of the initial concentration.

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate the constant for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}} .....(1)

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]} ......(2)

where,  

k = rate constant

t_{1/2} =Half life of the reaction = 2.42\times 10^3 s

t = time taken for decay process = ?

[A_o] = initial amount of the reactant = 0.163 M

[A] = amount left after time t =  66.8% of [A_o]

[A]=\frac{66.8}{100}\times 0.163 M=0.108884 M

k=\frac{0.693}{2.42\times 10^3 s}

t=\frac{2.303}{\frac{0.693}{2.42\times 10^3 s}}\log\frac{0.163 M}{0.108884 M}

t = 1,409.19 s

1 minute = 60 sec

t=\frac{1,409.19 }{60} min=23.49 min

In 23.49 minutes the concentration of A to be 66.8% of the initial concentration.

One crystalline form of silica (SiO2) has a cubic unit cell, and from X-ray diffraction data it is known that the cell edge leng
Sav [38]

Answer:

8 Silicon atom are present in unit cell.

16 oxygen atoms are present unit cell.

Explanation:

Number of atoms in unit cell = Z =?

Density of silica = tex]2.32 g/cm^3[/tex]

Edge length of cubic unit cell = a  = 0.700 nm = 0.700\times 10^{-7} cm

1 nm=10^{-7} cm

Molar mass of Silica  = 28.09 g/mol+16.00\times 2=60.09 g/mol

Formula used :  

\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}

where,

\rho = density

Z = number of atom in unit cell

M = atomic mass

(N_{A}) = Avogadro's number  

a = edge length of unit cell

On substituting all the given values , we will get the value of 'a'.

2.32 g/cm3=\frac{Z\times 60.09 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}\times (0.700\times 10^{-7}cm)^{3}}

Z = 8

1 silicon is 2 oxygen atoms. then 8 silicon atoms will be 16 oxygen atoms.
