Answer: (2) increases

Explanation: Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. More is the random arrangement of molecules in a system , more is the entropy of the system. More ordered is the arrangement of molecules in a system, less is the entropy of the system.

When carbon dioxide sublimes, it means solid carbon dioxide is directly changing to gaseous state without undergoing into liquid state, thus the molecules will be more random and thus the entropy will increase.

When something sublimes (Goes straight from solid to gas), it takes in energy, as it is an endothermic process, so its entropy increases

Plz help..<br> How to name alcohols...

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Alcohols are usually named by the first procedure and are designated by an -ol suffix, as in ethanol, CH3CH2OH (note that a locator number is unnecessary on a two-carbon chain). On longer chains the location of the hydroxyl group determines chain numbering. For example: (CH3)2C=CHCH(OH)CH3 is 4-methyl-3-penten-2-ol.10

Why is reactivity not a physical property

Reactivity is not a physical property because it's a characteristic of a chemical element or compound and is involved in chemical process.

Which of the following sequences describe how a four stoke engine cycle powers the engine

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A four cycle engine works with 4 basic steps to a successful rotation of the crankshaft: the intake, compression, power and exhaust stroke. Each engine cylinder has four openings for the intake, exhaust, spark plug and fuel injection. ... The compression makes the air-fuel combination volatile for easier ignition.

A particular reaction, A- products, has a rate that slows down as the reaction proceeds. The half-life of the reaction is found

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Explanation:

Half life of zero order and second order depends on the initial concentration. But as the given reaction slows down as the reaction proceeds, therefore, it must be second order reaction. This is because rate of reaction does not depend upon the initial concentration of the reactant.

a. As it is a second order reaction, therefore, doubling reactant concentration, will increase the rate of reaction 4 times. Therefore, the statement a is wrong.

b. Expression for second order reaction is as follows:

$\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[A]_0} +kt$

the above equation can be written in the form of Y = mx + C

so, the plot between 1/[A] and t is linear. So the statement b is true.

Expression for half life is as follows:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[A]_0}$

As half-life is inversely proportional to initial concentration, therefore, increase in concentration will decrease the half life. Therefore statement c is wrong.

Plot between A and t is exponential, therefore there is no constant slope. Therefore, the statement d is wrong
