Assume that silver and gold form ideal, random mixtures. Calculate the mass of pure Ag needed to cause an entropy increase of 20

J/K when mixed with 100g of pure Au
Chemistry

Answer:

m_{Ag}=2,265.9g

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the definition of entropy in a random mixture is:

\Delta S=-n_TR\Sigma[x_i*ln(x_i)]

For this silver-gold mixture we write:

\Delta S=-(n_{Au}+n_{Ag})R\Sigma[\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )+\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )]

By knowing the moles of gold:

n_{Au}=100g*\frac{1mol}{197g} =0.508mol

It is possible to write the aforementioned formula in terms of the variable x representing the moles of silver:

20\frac{J}{mol}=-(0.508+x)8.314\frac{J}{mol*K} \Sigma[\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} )+\frac{x}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{x}{0.508+x} )]

Which can be solved via Newton-Raphson or a solver software, in this case, I will provide you the answer:

x=n_{Ag}=21.0molAg

So the mass is:

m_{Ag}=21.0mol*\frac{107.9g}{1mol}\\ \\m_{Ag}=2,265.9g

Best regards!

In an aqueous solution, 42% of a substance dissociates to release hydronium ions. Which of the following statements is true for
const2013 [10]

Answer: The statement it is a weak acid is true for the substance.

Explanation:

An acid that dissociates completely when dissolved in water to give hydrogen (H^{+}) or hydronium (H_{3}O^{+}) ions is called a strong acid.

For example, HCl is a strong acid.

HCl + H_{2}O \rightarrow H_{3}O^{+} + Cl^{-}

An acid that dissociates partially or weakly when dissolved in water to given hydrogen or hydronium ions is called a weak acid.

For example, CH_{3}COOH is a weak acid.

CH_{3}COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COO^{-} + H_{3}O^{+}

A strong base is a base which when dissolved in water then it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ions.

For example, NaOH is a strong acid.

A weak base is a base which when dissolved in water then it dissociates partially or weakly to give hydroxide ions.

For example, NH_{3} is a weak base.

Hence, in an aqueous solution where 42% of a substance dissociates to release hydronium ions shows that the dissociation is less than 50%. This means that substance is dissociating weakly so, it is a weak acid.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it is a weak acid is true for the substance.
