Compare the entropy of a firecracker before it is lighted to its entropy after it explodes

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scilla [17]3 years ago
3 0
The entropy of a firecracker is much less before it explodes than afterwards.
Entropy is a measure of the degree of disorder in a system.
Before the explosion, everything is packed in a small volume inside a cardboard tube.
After the explosion, the contents have been converted largely to gases and finely divided solids spread over a large volume of the sky.
The latter situation is more disordered, so it has a higher entropy.

Hydrogen gas and bromine gas react to form hydrogen bromide gas. How much heat (kJ) is released when 155 grams of HBr is formed
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

-37.63KJ

Explanation:

First, we write an equation of reaction:

H + Br ——-> HBr

Now we are told that 155g of HBr is formed. We can calculate the number of moles of HBr formed as follows:

We simply divide the mass of the HBr formed by the molar mass of HBr. The molar mass of HBr is 81g/mol

The number of moles of HBr formed is thus 81/155 = 0.52 moles

The amount of heat released is thus 0.52 * (-72) = -37.63KJ

A 10 pound block of lead-210 has a half-life of 22 years. What percentage of the block still contains lead-210 after 60 years?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The percentage of the block contains 15% after 60 years.

Explanation:

Step 1: Formula for half-life time

To calculate the half-life time we will use the following formula:

At = A0 * 1/2 ^(x/t)

With At = the quantity after a time t

A0 = The quantity at time t = 0 (start)

x = time in this case = 60 years

t= half-life time = 22 years

Step 2: Calculate the percentage after 60 years

In this case: after 60 years the percentage will be

A0= 10 * 1/2 ^(60/22)

A0 = 1.5

A0 / At  = 1.5 /10 = 0.15

0.15 *100% = 15 %

The percentage of the block contains 15% after 60 years.

A balloon is floating around outside your window. The temperature outside is 31 ∘C , and the air pressure is 0.700 atm . Your ne
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

the volume of gas inside this balloon = 146.3 L

Explanation:

Given that:

The temperature T = 31 °C = ( 31 + 273.15 )K = 304.15 K

The air pressure P = 0.700 atm

number of moles of gas n = 4.10 moles

Gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/K/mol

The objective is to calculate the volume of the gas inside the ballon.

Using the Ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = (4.10×0.0821×304.15)/0.700

V = 102.3799/0.700

V = 146.257 L

V = 146.3 L

Thus, the volume of gas inside this balloon = 146.3 L
