Answer: liquid water

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

$\Delta S$ is positive when randomness increases and $\Delta S$ is negative when randomness decreases.

Gases have more entropy than liquids and liquids have more entropy than solids due to movement of particles.

Thus liquid water will have more entropy than crushed ice.

Consider the following system at equilibrium where H° = 111 kJ/mol, and Kc = 6.30, at 723 K.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

1) The value of Kc:

C. remains the same.

2) The value of Qc:

A. is greater than Kc.

3) The reaction must:

B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium.

4) The concentration of N2 will:

B. decrease.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by means of the Le Chatelier's principle which is based on the shift a chemical reaction could have under some modifications, we have:

1) The value of Kc:

C. remains the same, since it just depend the reaction's thermodynamics as it is computed via:

$ln(K)=\frac{\Delta _RG}{RT}$

2) The value of Qc:

A. is greater than Kc, since the reaction quotient is:

$Qc=\frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2}$

Thus, the lower the concentration of ammonia, the higher Qc, making Qc>Kc.

3) The reaction must:

B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium, since ammonia was withdrawn and should be regenerated to reach the equilibrium.

4) The concentration of N2 will:

B. decrease, since less reactant is forming the products.

Best regards.

Which best describes the relative positions of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom?

Anastaziya [24]

Hello!

The center of an atom is called the nucleus; it is comprised of protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. The electrons float around the nucleus in a cloud.

Answer:
A) Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, and electrons move around in the cloud.

How do I balance this equation? ?KNO3 → ?K2O + ?N2(g)+ ?O2(g) and what type of reaction is it?

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Explanation:

It's a decomposition, but not a simple one.

KNO3 ==> K2O + N2 + O2 I don't usually do this, but I think the easiest way to proceed is to balancing the K and N together. That will require a 2 in front of KNO3

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Now you have (3*4) = 12 oxygens. Two are on the K2O. So the other 10 must be on the O2

That should do it.
