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.

When solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed, a precipitation reaction occurs. What mass of precipitate can be

Bas_tet [7]

Explanation:

The given precipitation reaction will be as follows.

$AgNO_{3}(aq) + NaCl(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + NaNO_{3}(aq)$

Here, AgCl is the precipitate which is formed.

It is known that molarity is the number of moles present in a liter of solution.

Mathematically, Molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{volume in liter}}$

It is given that volume is 1.14 L and molarity is 0.269 M. Therefore, calculate number of moles as follows.

Molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{volume in liter}}$

0.269 M = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{1.14 L}$

no. of moles = 0.306 mol

As molar mass of AgCl is 143.32 g/mol. Also, relation between number of moles and mass is as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

0.307 mol = $\frac{mass}{143.32 g/mol}$

mass = 43.99 g

Thus, we can conclude that mass of precipitate produced is 43.99 g.

itrogen forms a number of different compounds with oxygen, depending upon the experimental conditions. This type of observation

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

the Law of multiple proportions

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions states that, if two elements A and B combine to form more than one chemical compound, then the various masses of one of the elements A, which combines with a fixed mass of the element B are in simple multiple ratio.

This is demonstrated in the formation of nitrogen compounds such as NO and N2O when nitrogen combines with oxygen. This ratio is always constant.

Which tool should Darla and Rob use to measure the force that pulls a car down the map

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

C. A Spring Scale

Explanation:

Using process of elimination, we can quickly decide that a stopwatch and a ruler will not be useful in measuring the force. This leaves us with either the spring scale or a balance scale. A balance scale is used to compare two weights, so this is eliminated. That leaves us with a spring scale. This is because we can attached the spring scale to the car and when we let it go, we can record the force. I hope this helps!

Propane (C3H8) is widely used in liquid form as a fuel for barbecue grills and camp stoves. For 67.7 g of propane, determine the

viva [34]

Answer:

A. 1.54 mole.

B. 55.39g of carbon

Explanation:

A. Determination of the number of mole in 67.7g of C3H8.

Mass of C3H8 = 67.7g

Molar mass of C3H8 = (3x12) + (8x1) = 44g/mol

Number of mole of C3H8 =..?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of C3H8 = 67.7/44

Number of mole of C3H8 = 1.54 mole

B. Determination of the mass of carbon in the compound.

This is illustrated below:

The mass of C in compound can be obtained as follow:

=> 3C/C3H8 x 67. 7

=> 3x12 / 44 x 67.7

=> 36/44 x 67.7

=> 55.39g

Therefore, 55.39g of carbon is present in the compound.
