Melting of ice is a spontaneous reaction at room temperature and pressure because melting is accompanied by _____.

Chemistry
1 answer:
ki77a [65]4 years ago
4 0

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

Option B is correct. Average speed can be found through the equation speed = distance/time. Applying this to each person using the data in the chart:

Dennis’ speed: 60 ft/0.5 secs = 120 ft per sec

Johnny’s speed: 60 ft/0.45 secs = 133.333 ft per sec

Travis’ speed: 60 ft/0.52 secs = 115.38 ft per sec

Michael’s speed: 60 ft/0.48 secs = 125 ft per sec

As you can see, Johnny’s speed is the fastest at 133.333 ft/sec.

In the chemical laboratory, why do scientists use a mortar and pestle?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer : The correct option is, (a) to increase surface area of a solute

Explanation :

A mortar and pestle is a type tool that is used in the chemical laboratory for grinding and mixing the substances.

In the mortar and pestle, the pestle is a heavy or small substance that is made from porcelain material that has the rounded end. The mortar is a bowl type that is also made from porcelain material.

In the chemical laboratory, the scientists use a mortar and pestle due to increase the surface area of a solute. That means by the girding of the solute, the surface area will increases.

Hence, the correct option is, (a) to increase surface area of a solute

MArishka [77]

Answer:

C. ancestors of

Explanation:

The species found as extinct in the fossil records are often times the ancestors of modern species.

  • Based on the concept of evolution, organisms formed from their earlier forms.
  • A concise trace and study of the history of organism often shows similarity in functions and properties between present day organisms and their ancestors.
