Answer:
            <span>A reaction progress curve has three peaks and two valleys between the peaks. This curve describes a reaction mechanism that involves <u>three elementary reactions</u>.

Explanation:
                   I have drawn the progress curve with three peaks and two valleys. In fact the peaks shows higher energy and valleys show lower energies. So, Let suppose we react A and B. This reaction between A and B results in the formation of C. In this reaction the energies of A and B are less, and during the progress of reaction they cross a transition state of higher energy and forms product C with lower energy which is present at lower valley. This was first reaction. Other two reactions will be followed by conversion of C to D and conversion of D into E.</span>

For which of the following will the entropy of the system increase?
snow_lady [41]

Answer :  The correct option is, (d) sublimation of dry ice.

Explanation :

Entropy : It is defined as the measurement of randomness or disorderedness in a system.

The order of entropy will be,

As we are moving from solid state to liquid state to gaseous state, the entropy will be increases due to the increase in the disorderedness.

As we are moving from gaseous state to liquid state to solid state, the entropy will be decreases due to the decrease in the disorderedness.

(a) Condensation of steam.

Condensation : It is a type of process in which the phase changes from gaseous state to liquid state at constant temperature.

In this process, phase changes from gaseous state to liquid state that means the degree of disorderedness decreases. So, the entropy will also decreases.

(b) Reaction of magnesium with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.

Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)

In this reaction, the randomness of reactant molecules are more (solid+gas) and as we move towards the formation of product the randomness become less (solid) that means the degree of disorderedness decreases. So, the entropy will also decreases.

(d) Reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia.

N_2(g)+H_2(g)\rightarrow NH_3(g)

In this reaction, the randomness of reactant molecules are more (2 moles of gas) and as we move towards the formation of product the randomness become less (1 mole of gas) that means the degree of disorderedness decreases. So, the entropy will also decreases.

(d) Sublimation of dry ice.

Sublimation : It is a type of process in which the phase changes from solid state to gaseous state without passing through the liquid state at constant temperature.

In this process, phase changes from solid state to gaseous state that means the degree of disorderedness increases. So, the entropy will also increases.

Propose a method for determining the specific heat for a metal like sodium which reacts violently with water.
nalin [4]
You can put a known amount sodium into some sort of time release mechanism such as a pill made from soluble material.  Then you can place the sodium into a calorimeter with a known mass of water and record the temperature change the water undergoes during the reaction.  Then you can use the equation q(water)=m(water)c(water)ΔT to find the amount of heat absorbed by the water.  since the amount of heat absorbed by the water is the amount of heat released from the sodium, q(sodium)=-q(water).  Than you can use the equation q(sodium)=m(sodium)c(sodium)ΔT and solve for c(sodium)

I hope this helps and feel free to ask about anything that was unclear in the comments.

When the temperature of the air is 25°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer ; The correct answer is : 346 m/s .

Sound is a type of longitudinal wave , which is produced when a matter compress or refracts .

Speed of sounds depends on factors like medium , density , temperature etc .

Effect of Temperature on speed of sounds :

When the temperature increases , molecules gains energy and they starts vibrating and with higher temperature vibration becomes fast . So the waves of sounds can travel faster due to faster vibrations . Hence , speed of sounds is directly proportional to the temperature or speed of sounds increases with increase in temperature .

The speed of sounds at 0⁰C is 331 \frac{m}{s}

The relation between speed of sound and temperature is given as :

V = 331 \frac{m}{s}  + ( 0.6 \frac{m}{s- ^0C} * T  )

Given : Temperature = 25 ⁰ C

Plugging values in formula =>

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + (0.6 \frac{m}{s-^0C}  * 25^0C)

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + 15 \frac{m}{s}

V =  346 \frac{m}{s}
