Answer:

Yes, it is.

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is a measure of how disorganized is the system, or how great is the randomness of a system. Thus, when there are more particles, or when the particles are more distant, or more agitated, the entropy is great. The systems intend to higher randomness.

In this case, the solid MgS was broken and separated in the ions Mg²⁺ and S²⁻, thus first there was one particle, and then two particles. The randomness increase, so S had increased, and ΔS (S final - S initial) > 0.

What type of reaction is Al + 3CuSO4 --> Al2(SO4)3 + 3 Cu
laila [671]

It's a Single Replacement (or Displacement) Reaction because the equation follows the basic format for that type of reaction.

For Single Replacement Reactions, the general formula is:

AB + C = AC + B

So, if there's an element and compound on both sides of the equation, it's single replacement.

Which of the following molecules or ions is polar? (20 POINTS)
inessss [21]

Answer:

All of these three are polar molecules or ions

Explanation:

1) CO3 ^2-

It is a polar ion because it consists of one Oxygen atom and three carbon atoms so there is a substantial electroegativity difference between carbon and Oxygen due to which shared electrons are attracted more towards Oxygen creating partial negative charge on it and less towards carbon creating a partial positive charge on it, which makes the overall ion polar.

2) HCN

HCN is a polar molecule because there is substantial electronegativity difference between Carbon and Hydrogen as well as between Carbon and Nitrogen. Due to this negative charge is induced over Nitrogen because electronegativity of Nitrogen is 3.0 and positive charge on Carbon because its electronegativity is 2.5. The overall molecule is polar.

3) NO3^-1

Nitrate ion is also a polar molecule because there are three atoms of Oxygen and one atom of Nitrogen. There is substantial electronegativity difference between oxygen (3.44) and nitrogen (3.0) due to which partial positive charge is created on Nitrogen and partial negative charge created over three Oxygen atoms. The overall molecule is polar.

Hope it helps!

A zinc rod is placed in 0.1 MZnSO4 solution at 298 K. Write the electrode reaction and calculate the potential of the electrode.
yanalaym [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The potential of electrode is -0.79 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

When zinc is dipped in zinc sulfate solution, the electrode formed is Zn^{2+}(aq.)/Zn(s)

Reduction reaction follows:  Zn^{2+}(0.1M)+2e^-\rightarrow Zn(s);(E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V)

To calculate the potential of electrode, we use the equation given by Nernst equation:

E_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}=E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Zn]}{[Zn^{2+}]}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = ?V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = -0.76 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Zn]=1M    (concentration of pure solids are taken as 1)

[Zn^{2+}]=0.1M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=-0.76-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{1}{0.1})\\\\E_{cell}=-0.79V

Hence, the potential of electrode is -0.79 V
