Answer is (2) - hydrogen carbonate
<em>Explanation:</em>
NaHCO₃ is an ionic compound which is made from Na⁺ and HCO₃⁻ ions. The decomposition is
NaHCO₃ → Na⁺ + HCO₃⁻
Among the resulted ions, Na⁺ is a monatomic ion while HCO₃⁻ is a polyatomic ion.
<em>Polyatomic ions mean ions which are made of two or more different atoms.</em>
HCO₃⁻ is made from 3 atoms as H, C and O. The name of HCO₃⁻ ion is bicarbonate or hydrogen carbonate.
Answer: liquid water
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.
is positive when randomness increases and
is negative when randomness decreases.
Gases have more entropy than liquids and liquids have more entropy than solids due to movement of particles.
Thus liquid water will have more entropy than crushed ice.
A steel spoon would be the best I believe.
