2KClO3(s) => 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) is there an increase or decrease of entropy?

Chemistry

ValentinkaMS [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Entropy increases

Explanation:

Entropy (S) is a measure of the degree of disorder.  For a given substance - say water - across phases the following is true ...

S(ice) < S(water) << S(steam)

For a chemical process, entropy changes can be related to increasing or decreasing molar volumes of gas from reactant side of equation to product side of equation. That is ...

if molar volumes of gas increase, then entropy increases, and

if molar volumes of gas decrease, then entropy decreases.

For the reaction                  2KClO₃(s) => 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

molar volumes of gas =>       0Vm*            0Vm      3Vm

*molar volumes (Vm) apply only to gas phase substances. Solids and liquids do not have molar volume.

Since the reaction produces 3 molar volumes of O₂(g) product vs 0 molar volumes of reactant, then the reaction is showing an increase in molar volumes of gas phase substances and its entropy is therefore increasing.

What are the chemical properties of acids​
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Acids are sour in taste. Acids react with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates to form a salt, water, and carbon dioxide gas. Extremely active metals such as Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), etc tend to explode when combined with acids. Weak Acids like Carbonic Acid doesn't act with any metal at all.

Match the action to the effect on the equilibrium position for the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g). Match Term Definition Remo
pshichka [43]

Answer:

The answers to the questions are given below.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, if an external constrain such as change in concentration, temperature or pressure is imposed on a chemical system in equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift in order to neutralize the effect.

A. Effective of removing ammonia, NH3.

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

Removing NH3 from the reaction simply means we are left with more reactants and no product. Therefore, the reactant will react to produce the product. Hence, the equilibrium position will shift to the right.

2. Effect of removing H2

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

Remoing H2 simply means we have more products and less reactant. Therefore, the product will be convert to reactant. Hence, the equilibrium position will shift to the left.

C. Effect of adding a catalyst.

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

Catalyst does not affect the equilibrium position. It only creates an alternative path to arrive at the product within a short time. Hence, it has no effect.
