Which of the following statements regarding spontaneous changes is false?A. Spontaneity is favored when heat is released.B. Spon
1 answer:
Answer: Option (E) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A spontaneous reaction is defined as the process which tends to occur on its own. And, a non-spontaneous reaction is defined as a process for the completion of which we have to provide certain conditions.
For example, ice melting at is spontaneous primarily due to the increase in molecular disorder (dispersal of matter). Also, melting of ice is taking place on its own without any external force.
It is not necessary that all exothermic reactions will be exothermic in nature.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement all exothermic reactions are spontaneous, is false.

Answer:
Explanation:
From similar question, equation (b) is
Molecular Equation:
- Cu(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Net Ionic Equation:
- Cu(s) + 2Ag⁺(aq) → Cu²⁺(aq) + 2Ag(s)
<u>1. Mole ratio:</u>
<u>2. Convert 1.147 g of Cu(s) to moles:</u>
- Atomic mass of Cu: 63.546g/mol
- Number of moles = mass in grams / atomic mass
- Number of moles = 1.147 g / 63.546 g/mol = 0.01805 mol Cu(s)
<u />
<u>3. Calculate the moles of Ag(s):</u>
<u />
<u>4. Convert 0.03610 mol Ag(s) to grams:</u>
- Atomic mass of Ag(s) = 107.868g/mol
- Mass = 0.03610mol × 107.868g/mol = 3.894g
