Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

Entropy means the measure of randomness present in a substance. That is, an increase in temperature will lead cause more motion in the particles of a substance more will be their kinetic energy.

As a result, there will occur more collisions due to which randomness of molecules will increase. Hence, there will be increase in entropy.

So, when we decrease the temperature then there will be decrease in motion of particles. As a result, lesser number of collisions will take place between them. Hence, degree of randomness will also decrease.

Thus, we can conclude the statement entropy of a system decreases with decrease in temperature, is true.

To separate a mixture of iron filings and salt, the most efficient method would be

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Of course you could do the separation chemically. Dissolve the salt up in water, pass thru a filter, wash the iron filings with ethanol, which would encourage the salt to precipitate from solution.

I do hope I helped you! :)

An atom or ion has 41 neutrons, 36 protons, and 36 electrons. Identify the element symbol, and determine the mass number

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Element symbol: Kr.

Mass number: 77.

Charge : 0.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since such substance has the same amount of protons and electrons we can infer it is an atom whose number of neutrons is defined by considering its atomic mass or mass number and atomic number which is actually equal to the number of protons and electrons (36):

$neutrons=atomic\ mass - atomic\ number$

In such a way, solving for the atomic mass we obtain:

$atomic\ mass=neutrons+ atomic\ number\\\\atomic\ mass=41+36=77$

It means that the element is krypton (Kr) as it has 36 electrons and protons so its charge is 0.

Best regards.

5. A hollow glass sphere has a volume of 350 mL and

Rina8888 [55]

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume of a hallow glass sphere is 350 mL

Specific gravity is 1.252

We need to find the weight of the sphere. The ratio of density of substance to the density of water is called specific gravity.

The density of water is 1 g/mL

$\text{specific gravity}=\dfrac{\text{density of substance}}{\text{density of water}}\\\\SG=\dfrac{m}{V\times \rho_w}\\\\m=SG\times V\times \rho_w\\\\m=1.252\times 350\ mL\times 1\ g/mL\\\\m=438.2\ \text{grams}$

We know that,

1 pound = 453.592 grams

So,

m = 0.97 lbs

So, the weight of the sphere is 0.97 lbs or 0.97 pounds.
