Consider two processes: sublimation of I2(s) and melting of I2(s) (Note: the latter process can occur at the same temperature bu

t somewhat higher pressure).
I2(s) → I2(g)
I2(s) → I2(l)
Is ΔS positive or negative in these processes?

Answer:

positive

positive

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

  • When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase , i.e. , positive entropy .

Similar with solid converting to liquid , the entropy will increases , i.e. , positive entropy .

Hence ,

The correct sign of entropy for both the process is positive .

Answer:

ΔS increases in each case.  

Explanation:

Entropy (S) is a measure of the degree of the spreading of energy within a system. The more ways that energy can be distributed, the greater the entropy.

(a) Sublimation of I₂

I₂(s)⇌ I₂(g)

In the solid, the I₂ molecules are locked in position in a crystal lattice. They can vibrate only slightly about their equilibrium locations.  

Those in the gas phase can move in different directions and at different speeds, so the thermal energy is widely distributed among many microstates. The mobility of the molecules is greatly increased, so the number of number of microstates increases and entropy increases.

(b) Melting of I₂

I₂(s)⇌ I₂(ℓ)

The molecules in the solid can only vibrate about a fixed position.

Those in the liquid phase can move around and slide past each other. The increased freedom of motion means that thermal energy is distributed among more microstates, so the entropy increases.

Where can you find the number of electrons of an<br> element?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Subtract the charge from the atomic number. When an ion has a positive charge, the atom has lost electrons. To calculate the remaining number of electrons, you subtract the amount of extra charge from the atomic number. In the case of a positive ion, there are more protons than electrons.

Is a planar carbon "backbone" possible for propane? Explain.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Cyclopropane has a planar carbon back bone while propane does not

Explanation:

We have to recognize that in straight chain saturated organic compounds, carbon atoms have a tetrahedral geometry. Each carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms.

However, carbon atoms in cyclic compounds are also sp3 hybridized with each carbon bonded to only four other atoms but the ring system is highly strained.

Cyclopropane is a necessarily planar molecule with a bond angle that is far less than the expected tetrahedral bond angle due to strain in the molecule. Hence, the carbon atoms may have have a "planar backbone".
