Explanation:

The minimum amount of energy required by a substance to begin a reaction is known as the activation energy.

Therefore, we can conclude that when you strike a match, you provide activation energy that enables the flame to appear.

Whereas a catalyst helps in increasing the rate of reaction but it does not start the reaction. On the other hand, when reactants combine together then we get products.

Thus, we can conclude that options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are not correct.

Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?

Bess [88]

Answer:-

Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.

When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.

The water molecules now surround these ions.

The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.

So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.

Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.
