Answer:

5.66 %.

Explanation:

<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>

<em />

<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>

<em></em>

mass of potassium nitrite = 30.0 g,

mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of potassium nitrite = 500.0 g + 30.0 g = 530.0 g.

<em>∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100</em> = (30.0 g/530.0 g) x 100 = <em>5.66 %.</em>

A sample of helium gas initially at 37.0°C, 785 torr and 2.00 L was heated to 58.0°C while the volume expanded to 3.24 L. What i
spayn [35]

Answer:

0.681 atm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we make use of the General gas equation.

Given:

P1 = 785 torr

V1 = 2L

T1 = 37= 37 + 273.15 = 310.15K

P2 = ?

V2 = 3.24L

T2 = 58 = 58+273.15 = 331.15K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Now, making P2 the subject of the formula,

P2 = P1V1T2/T1V2

P2 = [785 * 2 * 331.15]/[310.15 * 3.24]

P2 = 515.715 Torr

We convert this to atm: 1 torr = 0.00132 atm

515.715 Torr = 515.715 * 0.00132 = 0.681 atm

Predict whether ΔS° is greater than, less than, or approximately zero for each of the following reactions, and explain your choi
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

  • When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .  

  • If in a reaction , more number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0
  • When liquid is converted to solid entropy decreases,  

As the molecules in liquid state are loosely packed and has less force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to solid, the force of attraction between the molecule increases and hence entropy decreases.

  • If in a reaction , less number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will decrease , i.e. Δ°S < 0

From the question ,

( a )  NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 5 = 6

Product - 4 + 6 = 10 ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

( b ) CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 2 = 3

Product - 1 + 2 = 3 ,

Since ,

Both the side the value of gaseous atoms are , hence , Δ°S = 0 .

( c ) CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant = 0

Product - 0 + 1 = 1 ,

Since ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0
