Answer:

An increase in entropy

Explanation:

In ice, the molecules are very well ordered because of the H-bonds. As ice melts, the intermolecular forces are broken (requires energy), but the order is interrupted (so entropy increases). Water is more random than ice, so ice spontaneously melts at room temperature.

Just think about this rationally. Melting ice (or anything) will require heat put in (this is called the latent heat of fusion), so you automatically know that the change in enthalpy is going to be positive. In order to make the reaction spontaneous, delta G, the Gibbs free energy has to be negative. So now look at the formula Delta(G) = Delta(H) - T*Delta*(S). If you know that g is negative, and H is positive, then it is only possible if -T*Delta(S) is negative. If that is positive, then Delta(S) has to be positive. So theres your answer :). An increase in entropy

If winds blow against a mountain from the south, then on which slope would you find the least precipitation?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The northern slope will have the least precipitation if winds blow against a mountain from the south.

<h3>What is Slope?</h3>

This is referred to as the degree of steepness on a surface such as rocky areas etc.

When wind blows on the southern part of a mountains, it gets stuck which is why the northern slope have the least precipitation.

Answer: 1.00 M

Explanation:

Moles of Solute/Liters of Solution = molarity. Then you would do 0.500 Moles/ 0.500 L and you get 1.00 M.

In an experiment designed to determine the concentration of Cu 2 ions in an unknown solution, you need to prepare 100 mL of 0.10
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

1.6 grams

Explanation:

We need to prepare 100 mL (0.100 L) of a 0.10 M CuSO₄ solution. The required moles of CuSO₄ are:

0.100 L × 0.10 mol/L = 0.010 mol

The molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159.61 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 0.010 moles is:

0.010 mol × (159.61 g/mol) = 1.6 g

We should use 1.6 grams of CuSO₄.
