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.

Metals react with oxygen to give oxides with the general formula MxOy. What is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of
katovenus [111]

Answer: 4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as Fe^{3+} cation and oxide O^{2-} is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral Fe_2O_3.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

How many electron are in 56fe 3
RSB [31]
The periodic table is arranged in a way so that with each step the number of protons in the nucleus is increased by 1. It makes it for an easy choice to designate elements with numbers - atomic numbers, because in that case atomic number shows the number of protons possessed by the nucleus. Like this:
H has 1 proton
He has 2 protons
Li has 3 protons
Be has 4 protons and so on

Each proton has a charge of +1. The other particle present in the nucleus - the neutron - has zero electrical charge and thus irrelevant when computing the charge of a nucleus. It is easy to deduce that the nucleus charge equals the number of protons (which in turn equals the atomic number). So the nucleus charges are:
for H it's+1
for He it's +2
for Li it's +3
for Be it's +4 and so on

Atom is an electroneutral particle by definition. It means it's summed charge must be 0. Since we've looked at everything within the nucleus (the protons and the neutrons) it's time we turn our gaze to the space around it, which is full of orbiting electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1. To make up for the positive charge in the nucleus you have to fill the space aroung the nucleus with negative electrons.Thanks to the elementary nature of both proton and electron charge, you simply have to take the same number of electrons as that of protons! Like this:
H has 1 proton and 1 electron
He has 2 protons and 2 electrons
Li has 3 protons and 3 electrons
Be has 4 protons and 4 electrons and so on

Fe has atomic number 26. It means that Fe has 26 protons and 26 electrons. If it's a neutral atom

You typed 3. Is it accidental? If so, then the answer is above. If not, then you could be trying to type 56Fe +3, which means an ionic iron with charge +3. Charges are formed when you have too many or too few electrons to counter-balance the prositive charge of the nucleus. Charge +3 means you're 3 electrons short to negate the nucleus positive charge.

In other words, Fe+3 has 26 protons and 23 electrons.
