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.

Answer:

For part (a): pHsol=2.22

Explanation:

I will show you how to solve part (a), so that you can use this example to solve part (b) on your own.

So, you're dealing with formic acid, HCOOH, a weak acid that does not dissociate completely in aqueous solution. This means that an equilibrium will be established between the unionized and ionized forms of the acid.

You can use an ICE table and the initial concentration ofthe acid to determine the concentrations of the conjugate base and of the hydronium ions tha are produced when the acid ionizes

HCOOH(aq]+H2O(l]⇌ HCOO−(aq] + H3O+(aq]
