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

Chemistry

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.

To see a RED object, all the light is absorbed except the Red and that is what we see as the color True False
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that the vision phenomenon depends on three elements: the observer, the object and the light source.

In addition, objects have pigments, which generally absorb more light than they reflect (they absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others). Therefore, the color that a given object seems to have depends on which parts of the visible electromagnetic spectrum are reflected and which parts are absorbed.  

In this sense, the colours we see are in fact the wavelengths that are reflected or transmitted from the object.  For example, a red object has that color because when it is illuminated whith white light, the pigments on this object abrsorb all the the wavelengths of the visible electromagnetic spectrum, except red. That is why red light is the only light that is reflected from the mentioned object.

Determine the freezing point of an aqueous solution containing 10.50 g of magnesium bromide in 200.0 g of water.
Rudiy27
For an aqueous solution of MgBr2, a freezing point depression occurs due to the rules of colligative properties. Since MgBr2 is an ionic compound, it acts a strong electrolyte; thus, dissociating completely in an aqueous solution. For the equation:

                                ΔTf<span> = (K</span>f)(<span>m)(i)
</span>where: 
ΔTf = change in freezing point = (Ti - Tf)
Ti = freezing point of pure water = 0 celsius
Tf = freezing point of water with solute = ?
Kf = freezing point depression constant = 1.86 celsius-kg/mole (for water)
m = molality of solution (mol solute/kg solvent) = ?
i = ions in solution = 3

Computing for molality:
Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol

m = 10.5g MgBr2 / 184.113/ 0.2 kg water = 0.285 mol/kg


For the problem, 
ΔTf = (Kf)(m)(i) = 1.86(0.285)(3) = 1.59 = Ti - Tf = 0 - Tf

Tf = -1.59 celsius
