Why doesn’t a broken wineglass spontaneously fix itself, from a thermodynamic point of view?

Answer:

C.Fixing a wineglass requires a large decrease in entropy.

Explanation:

Decrease in entropy is a non spontaneous process.  

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder. For a process to be spontaneous the disorder or the randomness should increase. In a spontaneous process entropy increase or becomes positive.  

A broken wine glass has more disorder than an unbroken glass. So a broken wine glass does not spontaneously fix itself as that would lead to a decrease in entropy.

Compare a sodium ion and neutral sodium atom in size. what causes the size difference
n200080 [17]
A cation is smaller than its parent atom.
Therefore, here a sodium ion is smaller than the neutral sodium atom.

Reason: Since the sodium atom loses an electron to form an electropositive ion(cation), its nuclear charge increases(the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons) and the orbital electrons are pulled with a greater energy.
Thus,the sodium ion shrinks in size.

A solution was prepared by mixing 0.5000 m hno2 with 0.380 m no2-. ka = 4.58 x 10-4. calculate the ph of the solution. show work
adell [148]

pH of buffer can be calculated as:

pH=pKa+log[salt]/[Acid]

As ka = 4.58 x 10-4

Concentration of [Salt] that is NO2(-1)=0.380M

Concentration of [Acid] that is HNO2=0.500M

So, pH= -log(4.58*10^-4)+log((0.380)/0.500))

=3.21

So pH of solution will be 3.21

Why is galvanized steel preferred for outdoor uses?
Marizza181 [45]
<span>Galvanized steel is preferred for outdoor uses because it is ideal to prevent rotting/corrosion A steel will rot more quickly if it's exposed to a larger amount of oxygen and H2O , which will exist if we put it oudoor Coating the steel with additional zinc will slow down the process</span>
