The nucleus is the positively charged core of an atom, which is surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Nucleons are particles that the core of an atom consists of, namely positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. That is, thenucleus is made up of nucleons.

Which of the following choices would have a positive entropy change?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

  • The option <u><em>B) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g),</em></u> because the reactants are only solid units and the products contain gas molecules.

Explanation:

A <em>positive entropy change</em> means that the entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.

Entropy in a measure of the radomness or disorder of the system.

Let's see every reaction:

<u />

<u>A) 4NO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (l) + O₂ (g) → 4 HNO₃ (aq)</u>

Since 5 molecules of a gas (high disorder) combines with 2 molecules of liquid to produce 4 units of aqueous HNO₃ you may expect that the product is more ordered than the reactants, which means that the change in entropy is negative (the entropy decreases).

<u />

<u>B) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)</u>

The left side (reactants) show only solid substances which is a highly ordered arrangement while the right side (products) show the formation a solid (ordered arrangement) and a gas (highly disoredered arrangement), so you can predict the increase of the system entropy, i.e. a positive entropy change.

The <u>equation C)</u> shows the combination of 12 gas molecules to produce 1 solid and 6 gas molecules, so you can expect that the entropy will decrease, i.e. a negative entropy change.

For <u>equation D)</u> the products include solid and gas reactants while the product is just one unit of solid substance, letting you to predict a negative entropy change.

A type of marble has a density of 2.5 grams/marble. A box filled with marbles has a total mass of 300 grams determine the number
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

100

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 50 by 300 to find the total mass of the marbles

300 - 50 = 250

Not hard, right?

Step 2: Divide 250 by 2.5

250 ÷ 2.5 = 100

And... 100 is your answer :)

Hope this helps :)

An example of a chemical change is burning a wood log to give a pile of ashes.<br> O True O False
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

<em>An example of a chemical change is burning a wood log to give a pile of ashes.</em> TRUE. In a chemical change there is a change in the identity of the substances, that is, some substances react (reactants) in order to form other substances (products).

A wood log is made of cellulose and organic compound that react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water mainly.
