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

1 answer:

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.

The pH of a vinegar solution is 4.15. What is the H+ concentration of the solution

marishachu [46]

<span>The pH of a vinegar solution is 4.15. To find the H+ concentration of the solution use the following equation -log(H+)=pH. Insert the pH into the equation to get, -log(H+) = 4.15 Rearrange the equation to get, 10^(-4.15) = H+ Finally, you can solve for H+. The hydrogen ion concentration of the vinegar solution is .0000708 M.</span>

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings? A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g ) A(s)+B(s)⟶C(g) 2 A ( g ) +

Tju [1.3M]

Correct question:

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings?

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

(d) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 3 C ( g )

Answer:

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

Explanation:

Work done by a system on the surroundings at a constant pressure is given as;

W = -PΔV

Where;

ΔV is gas expansion, that is final volume of the gas minus initial volume of the gas must be greater than zero.

Part (a)

A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

ΔV = 1 - (0) = 1 (expansion)

Part (b)

2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

ΔV = 5 - ( 2+ 2) = 1 (expansion)

Part (c)

A ( g ) + B ( g ) ⟶ C ( g )

ΔV = 1 - ( 1 + 1) = -1 (compression)

Part (d)

2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 3 C ( g )

ΔV = 3 - ( 4) = -1 (compression)

Thus, systems where there is gas expansion are in part (a) and part (b). The correct answers are:

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air).

Which term best defines the feeding behavior of most gulls?

White raven [17]

Answer:

Gulls, or colloquially seagulls, are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns and skimmers and only distantly related to auks, and even more distantly to waders. Until the 21st century, most gulls were placed in the genus
