A process at constant T and P can be described as spontaneous if ΔG < 0 and nonspontaneous if ΔG > 0. Over what range of t

emperatures is the following process spontaneous? Assume that gases are at a pressure of 1 atm. (Hint: Use the data below to calculate ΔH and ΔS [assumed independent of temperature and equal to ΔH° and ΔS°, respectively] and then use the definition of ΔG.)

Answer:

Incomplete question, it is lacking the data it makes reference. The missing data from Chegg is:

                              2 SO3(g)   →          2 SO2(g) + O2(g)

ΔHf° (kJ mol-1)  -395.7                        -296.8

S° (J K-1 mol-1)  256.8                         248.2              205.1

ΔH° =  kJ

S° =  J K⁻¹

Explanation:

The method to solve this problem calls for the use of the Gibbs standard free energy change:

ΔG = ΔrxnH - TΔSrxn

We know a reaction is spontaneous when ΔG is < 0, so to answer this question we need to solve for the temperature, T, at which ΔG becomes negative.

Now as mentioned in the hint, we need to determine  ΔrxnH and ΔSrxn, which are given by

ΔrxnH = ∑ ν x ΔfHº products - ∑ ν x ΔfHº reactants

where  ν  is the stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.

For ΔS we have likewise

ΔrxnS =  ∑ ν x ΔSº products - ∑ ν x ΔSº reactants

Thus,

ΔrxnH(kJmol⁻¹) =  2 x (-296.8) - 2 x ( -395.7 ) = 197.8 kJ

ΔrxnS ( JK⁻¹) = 2 x 248.2 + 205.1 - 2 x 256.8 = 187.9 JK⁻¹ = 0.1879 kJK⁻¹

So ΔG kJ =  197.8 - T(0.1879)

and the reaction will become spontaneous when the term  T(0.1879)  becomes greater that 197.8,

0 = 197.8 - 0.1879 T  ⇒ T = 1052 K

so the reaction is spontaneous at temperatures greater than 1052 K (780 ºC)

What are chylomicrons? a. Alcohols with three-carbon chains b. Nitrogen compounds found in foods and made in the body c. Food ad
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Chylomicron is a small fat globule which is made of protein and lipids. These substances are found in the lymphatic fluid and blood where they tend to transport fat from the entry in the intestine to the liver and adipose tissue.

Once, one eats the fatty meal the blood is full of a number of chylomicrons which provides the blood texture.

The food that is digested is absorbed and transported to various parts of the body.

Valence Bond theory predicts that tin will use what hybrid orbitals in Snf5 -1​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

sp3d

Explanation:

The ground state electronic configuration of tin is written as; [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p². Hybridization is a concept used to explain the combination of orbitals of appropriate energy to produce suitable orbitals that could be used for bonding.

In forming the compound Snf5^ -1, we have to hybridize the following orbitals on tin; 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals. This gives us a set of sp3d hybrid  hence the answer.

A balloon is filled with 0.250 mole of air at 35°C. If the volume of the balloon is 6.23 liters, what is the absolute pressure
lord [1]

Answer is:  the absolute pressure of the air in the balloon is 1.015 atm (102.84 kPa).

n = 0.250 mol; amount of substance.

V = 6.23 L; volume of the balloon.

T = 35°C = 308.15 K; temperature.

R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K, universal gas constant.

Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.

p = n·R·T / V.

p = 0.250 mol · 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K · 308.15 K / 6.23 L.

p = 1.015 atm; presure of the air.
