Mass can’t be destroyed. So since not all the mass was found in the products, that simply means that it was lost to the environment. For example, let’s say hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and we get water in the product. Now that oxygen could have reacted with something else that we didn’t take into account when measuring the mass of the H2O released.

Tldr, some of the reactants were lost to the surroundings

Is the entropy change favorable or not, when a nonpolar molecule is transferred from water to a nonpolar solvent?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Entropy change is favorable when a nonpolar molecule is transferred from water to a nonpolar solvent.

Explanation:

A nonpolar molecule is not miscible in water (polar solvent). Therefore, when mixed together, each specie will cluster together and solvation will not happen.

However, when you tranfer the nonpolar molecule to a nonpolar solvent, the solvent molecules will interact with the nonpolar molecule. This will increase entropy as the level of disorder will increase with solvation.

A student mixes a solution of lead (II) nitrate with a solution of potassium iodide and notices the formation of a yellow solid.
ioda

Answer:

Lead (II) iodide

Explanation:

The reaction of lead (II) nitrate, Pb(NO₃)₂ with KI is:

Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KI(aq) → KNO₃(aq) + PbI₂(s)

This is a typical double-replacement reaction where anions and cations exchange its couple.

All nitrates are solubles, thus, KNO₃ is not the precipitate.

The only possibility of precipitate is PbI₂,

Lead (II) iodide, a yellow and insoluble solid...

an atom has an atomic number of 9 a mass number of 19 and an electron configuration of 2-6-1 explain why the number of electrons
sukhopar [10]
You can tell that the atom is in the excited state because:

- Electron configuration should follow the 2-8-8-2 rule, meaning that the inner shell should be filled before the next shell can start holding electrons.

- Instead of the atom's electron configuration being in the ground state at 2-8-8-1, electrons from the second shell have jumped to the third.
