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.

Consider the following reaction.
Ivan

Answer:

162 g Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the mass of Fe₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams C to moles C (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C to moles Fe₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe₂O₃ to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Molar Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol

2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 C(s) ---> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 2(55.845 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 159.684 g/mol

18.3 g C           1 mole            2 moles Fe₂O₃          159.684 g
--------------  x  ----------------  x  -------------------------  x  -----------------  = 162 g Fe₂O₃
                        12.011 g              3 moles C                 1 mole

Examination of the first few successive ionization energies for a given element usually reveals a large jump between two ionizat
gladu [14]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Metals have lower ionization energy than non metals since ionization energy increases across a period.

One thing that we must have in mind is that it takes much more energy to remove an electron from an inner filled shell than it takes to remove an electron from an outermost incompletely filled shell.

Now let us consider the case of magnesium which has two outermost electrons. Between IE2 and IE3 we have now moved to an inner filled shell(IE3 refers to removal of electrons from the inner second shell) and a lot of energy is required to remove an electron from this inner filled shell, hence the jump.

For aluminium having three outermost electrons, there is a jump between IE3 and IE4 because IE4 deals with electron removal from a second inner filled shell and a lot of energy is involved in the process hence the jump.

Hence a jump occurs each time electrons are removed from an inner filled shell.

An acid with a H+ molarity of 1x10^-5 M has a ph of?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is pH = 5

Explanation:

Data

[H⁺] = 1 x 10⁻⁵

pH = ?

pH is a measure of the hydrogen concentration. It measures the acidity or alkalinity. The range of pH goes from 0 to 14. The pH for an acid is from 0 to 6.9, for a neutral solution is 7.0 and for an alkali is from 7.1 to 14.

Formula

             pH = -log [H⁺]

-Substitution

             pH = -log [1 x 10⁻⁵]

-Simplification

             pH = - (-5)

-Result

             pH = 5
