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.

Describe how you would use a calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal
vovikov84 [41]
<span>My only guess is obtain a metal and heat it in a boiling water bath (of known temperature) this will be your initial temperature. Now obtain a calorimeter cup with water of known temperature as well. Place the metal into the calorimeter cup and record the temperature after 5 minutes. You now have delta T, mass of the metal, and Q. Solve for C.

Hope this helps xox :)</span>

In the reaction MgCl2 + 2KOH Mg(OH)2 + 2KCl, if 3 moles MgCl2 are added to 4 moles KOH, what determines how much Mg(OH)2 is made
LenKa [72]
The correct option is C. The amount of MgCl2. we know this because <span>no matter how much you increase KOH, if you dont increase Mgcl2, the amount of Mg(OH)2 remains the same. Hope this works for you</span>

A chemist dissolves 0.096 g of CuSO4 · 5 H2O in water and dilutes the solution to the mark in a 500-mL volumetric flask. A 6-mL
scoray [572]

Answer:

(A) 4.616 * 10⁻⁶ M

(B) 0.576 mg CuSO₄·5H₂O

Explanation:

  • The molar weight of CuSO₄·5H₂O is:

63.55 + 32 + 16*4 + 5*(2+16) = 249.55 g/mol

  • The molarity of the first solution is:

(0.096 gCuSO₄·5H₂O ÷ 249.55 g/mol) / (0.5 L) = 3.847 * 10⁻⁴ M

The molarity of CuSO₄·5H₂O is the same as the molarity of just CuSO₄.

  • Now we use the dilution factor in order to calculate the molarity in the second solution:

(A) 3.847 * 10⁻⁴ M * 6mL/500mL = 4.616 * 10⁻⁶ M

To answer (B), we can calculate the moles of CuSO₄·5H₂O contained in 500 mL of a solution with a concentration of 4.616 * 10⁻⁶ M:

  • 4.616 * 10⁻⁶ M * 500 mL = 2.308 * 10⁻³ mmol CuSO₄·5H₂O
  • 2.308 * 10⁻³ mmol CuSO₄·5H₂O * 249.55 mg/mmol = 0.576 mg CuSO₄·5H₂O
