What happens to the entropy of a piece of wood as it is burned?

Chemistry

s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It increases in value positively

Explanation:

The entropy of a chemical reaction can be defined as the degree of disorderliness. Hence when we talk about entropy, we are talking about the degree of randomness associated with that specific chemical reaction. The burning of wood is a kind of spontaneous reaction.

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the change in free Gibbs energy must be negative. To make this a reality, at constant enthalpy, the reaction temperature and change in entropy is expected to be negative in value. To get this negative value needed, it is essential know that the value of the entropy must increase as the temperature of the burning wood is increasing too.

Anettt [7]

The molecular formula of a compound is C₂H₂O₄.

Take 100 grams of compound:

1) ω(C) = 26.7% ÷ 100% = 0.267

m(C) = ω(C) × m(compound)

m(C) = 0.267 × 100 g.

m(C) = 26.7 g.

n(C) = m(C) ÷ M(C).

n(C) = 26.7 g ÷ 12 g/mol.

n(C) = 2.22 mol; amount of carbon

2) ω(H) = 2.2 % ÷ 100% = 0.022

m(H) = 0.022 × 100 g.

m(H) = 2.2 g.

n(H) = 2.2 g ÷ 1 g/mol.

n(H) = 2.2 mol; amount of hydrogen

3) ω(O) = 71.1 % ÷ 100%.

ω(O) = 0.711

m(O) = 0.711 × 100 g

m(O) = 71.1 g

n(O) = 71.1 g ÷ 16 g/mol

n(O) = 4.4 mol; amount of oxygen

4) n(C) : n(H) : n(O) = 2.2 mol : 2.2 mol : 4.4 mol /2.2 mol.

n(C) : n(H) : n(O) = 1 : 1 : 2

M(CHO₂) = 45 amu; empirical formula

90 amu ÷ 45 amu = 2 CHO₂

Calculate the heat released when 454 grams of steam at 100 degrees C condenses.
sasho [114]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1026.05 kJ

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The Quantity of heat is calculated by multiplying the mass of a substance by specific heat capacity and the change in temperature.
  • However, condensation takes place at a constant temperature.
  • Therefore, Quantity of heat is calculated by multiplying mass by the latent heat of vaporization.
  • That is; Q = m × Lv

In this case we are given;

Mass of steam as 454 g

To calculate the amount of heat released we must know the value of latent heat of vaporization;

The latent heat of vaporization of steam is 2260 J/g

Therefore;

Heat released, Q = 454 g × 2260 J/g

                             =1026040 Joules

But, 1000 joules = 1 kilo-joules

Thus, Q = 1026.04 kJ

Hence, the amount of heat released is 1026.05 kJ
