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

Chemistry

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.

Mean: the average. you have to add the values of the numbers and then divide by the amount of numbers there are. a common mistake to avoid is forgetting to divide the numbers at the end or subtracting them instead of adding.

mean: the middle number. you would first need to order the numbers from least to greatest. a common mistake to avoid is finding the middle number before ordering it from least to greatest

these two can also be commonly mistaken for one another because of the similar spelling.

What is the half life of the graphed material?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

3 hours

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, it is important we know the definition of half-life.

The half-life of a substance is simply defined as the time taken for half the substance to decay.

Considering the diagram given above, the initial mass of the substance is 100 g.

Half of the initial mass = 100 / 2 = 50 g

Now, we shall determine the time from the graph taken to get to 50 g.

Considering the diagram given above, the time taken to get to 50 g is 3 hours.

Therefore, the half-life of the material is 3 hours.
