Explanation:

Oxygen is a more reactive non-metal.

There are several parameters to test how reactive an element is. In this case, we are going to use the electronegativity of the two atoms.

Electronegativity is the relative tendency with which atoms of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

A high electronegativity value suggests more reactivity and a low value implies low reactivity.

On the Pauling's Eelectronegativity table, Oxygen has a value of 3.5 and Phosphorus has 2.1

It implies that oxygen is a more reactive non-metal compared to phosphorus.

Calculate the change in entropy when 1.00 kg of water at 100 ∘C is vaporized and converted to steam at 100 ∘C. Assume that the h

andrew11 [14]

Answer : The change in entropy is $6.05\times 10^3J/K$

Explanation :

Formula used :

$\Delta S=\frac{m\times L_v}{T}$

where,

$\Delta S$ = change in entropy = ?

m = mass of water = 1.00 kg

$L_v$ = heat of vaporization of water = $2256\times 10^3J/kg$

T = temperature = $100^oC=273+100=373K$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta S=\frac{(1.00kg)\times (2256\times 10^3J/kg)}{373K}$

$\Delta S=6048.25J/K=6.05\times 10^3J/K$

Therefore, the change in entropy is $6.05\times 10^3J/K$

skad [1K]

Answer:

Total partial pressure, Pt = 821 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Helium, P1 = 105 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Nitrogen, P2 = 312 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Oxygen, P3 = ? mm Hg

According to Dalton's law of Partial pressures,

Pt = P1 + P2 + P3

So, <u>P3 = 404 mm Hg</u>
