What does the 'heat death' of the universe have to do with quality of energy?

1 answer:

8 0

Heat death refers to the 2nd law of thermodynamics which states that entropy trends increases in an isolated system. Thus hypothesized that the universe would last for an amount of time enough until it reaches a state that all energy is equally distributed.

How many moles are found in a 100.0-g sample of CuF2?

ivolga24 [154]

To determine the amount of a substance in units of moles from units of grams, we need to determine the molar mass of the substance. The molar mass is the mass of a given chemical element or chemical compound (g) divided by the amount of substance (mol). For CuF2, the molar mass 101.543 g/mol. We calculate as follows:

100.0 g CuF2 ( 1 mol / 101.543 g) = 0.98 mol CuF2

Classify which compounds will dissolve in water and which ones will not dissolve in water.

vredina [299]

Answer:

Dissolves in water: Acetone, 1-propanol, Methanol

Do not dissolve in water: Hexane, Decane

Explanation:

From the principle that like dissolves like,polar substances will dissolve in polar solutions, while non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar substances.

Water is a polar solution, therefore, polar substances will dissolve in it.From the given options:

Acetone is a polar molecule, therefore, it will dissolve in water.

1-propanol is a polar molecule, therefore, it will dissolve in water.

Hexane is a non-polar molecule, therefore, it will not dissolve in water.

Methanol is a polar molecule, therefore, it will dissolve in water.

Decane is a non-polar molecule, therefore, it will not dissolve in water

Provide a balanced molecular equation, total ionic, and net ionic equation for sodium phosphate and zinc acetate.

vivado [14]

Answer: Balanced molecular equation :

$2Na_3PO_4(aq)+3(CH_3COO)_2Zn(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COONa(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)$

Total ionic equation:

$6Na^+(aq)+3PO_4^{2-}(aq)+6CH_3COO^-(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COO^-(aq)+6Na^+(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)$

The net ionic equation:

$2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)$

Explanation:

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substances that are strong electrolyte are present in an aqueous state as ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

When sodium phosphate and zinc acetate then it gives zinc phosphate and sodium acetate as product.

The balanced molecular equation will be,

$2Na_3PO_4(aq)+3(CH_3COO)_2Zn(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COONa(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)$

The total ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

$6Na^+(aq)+2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+6CH_3COO^-(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COO^-(aq)+6Na^+(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)$

In this equation, and are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be,

$2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)$
