Answer:
- The option <u><em>B) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g),</em></u> because the reactants are only solid units and the products contain gas molecules.
Explanation:
A <em>positive entropy change</em> means that the entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.
Entropy in a measure of the radomness or disorder of the system.
Let's see every reaction:
<u />
<u>A) 4NO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (l) + O₂ (g) → 4 HNO₃ (aq)</u>
Since 5 molecules of a gas (high disorder) combines with 2 molecules of liquid to produce 4 units of aqueous HNO₃ you may expect that the product is more ordered than the reactants, which means that the change in entropy is negative (the entropy decreases).
<u />
<u>B) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)</u>
The left side (reactants) show only solid substances which is a highly ordered arrangement while the right side (products) show the formation a solid (ordered arrangement) and a gas (highly disoredered arrangement), so you can predict the increase of the system entropy, i.e. a positive entropy change.
The <u>equation C)</u> shows the combination of 12 gas molecules to produce 1 solid and 6 gas molecules, so you can expect that the entropy will decrease, i.e. a negative entropy change.
For <u>equation D)</u> the products include solid and gas reactants while the product is just one unit of solid substance, letting you to predict a negative entropy change.
Answer:
Hi! your answer would be C. Plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis, and fish depend on this oxygen to survive.

Answer: 1.) C or D 2.) C
Explanation:
i may be incorrect i just remeber this from class idk how to explain it
Alkali metals impart characteristic colours to the flame due to low ionisation enthalpy, when an alkali metal or its salt is heated in a flame, the valence electrons are excited to higher energy level.
