Answer:
B) decreasing entropy is a non-spontaneous process
Explanation:
Arenal Volcano: Plate Tectonic Setting. The volcanic arc of Costa Rica, where Arenal is located, is a chain of mountains resulting from the subduction of the Cocos tectonic plate under the Caribbean Plate. Costa Rica is part of the Central American isthmus, which connects the North and South American continents.
In order to solve this, we need to make use of Hess' Law.
We are already given the equations and their corresponding deltaH. Using Hess' Law, we can generate this equation:
104 kJ = x - (-1182 kJ) - (-1144 kJ)
Among the choices, the answer is
<span>B.104 = x - [(-1182) + (-1144)]
