Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of disorder or randomness. This means that when particles of a matter move rapidly and continuously from one place to another then this shows entropy of the matter is high.

For example, particles of a gas are weakly held and hence, they rapidly collide and show high entropy.

Whereas in solids, particles are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Thus, they are not moving and hence in solids entropy is the lowest.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, $H_{2}O(s)$ has the lowest entropy.

I believe that the answer is B: H2O(s) because is the makeup of water also known as one hydrogen and two oxygen. So water as more entropy and the s stands for sol fore i think wich means it contains the most entropy.

The concentration of C29H60 in summer rainwater is 34 ppb. Find the molarity of this compound in nanomoles per liter (nM).

Naya [18.7K]

Answer: The concentration of C29H60 in nM per liter is 83,33 nM/liter

Explanation: Let's start from the ppb definition: ppb means parts per billion. In terms of concentracion measuring this means micrograms of solute per liter of solution.

The algebraic expression would be:

ppb [=] micrograms of compound/liter of solution

We can assume that the solvent is water. The solute is dissolved in water and both create the C29H60 solution.

For the exercise we have 34 ppb of C29H60, that means 34 micrograms of C29H60 in one liter of solution. So, since now, we have to convert the units from the initial data to the required answer.

The respective procedure is in a attached file.

Yeast converts glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide during a process known as anaerobic fermentation. The chemical reaction is

Korolek [52]

Answer:

102g

Explanation:

To find the mass of ethanol formed, we first need to ensure that we have a balanced chemical equation. A balanced chemical equation is where the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation (reactants and products). This is useful as only when a chemical equation is balanced, we can understand the relationship of the amount (moles) of reactant and products, or to put it simply, their relationship with one another.

In this case, the given equation is already balanced.

$\tex{C_6H_{12}O_6} \longrightarrow 2 \ C_2H_6O + 2 \ CO_2$

From the equation, the amount of ethanol produced is twice the amount of yeast present, or the same amount of carbon dioxide produced. Do note that amount refers to the number of moles here.

Mole= Mass ÷Mr

Mass= Mole ×Mr

Method 1: using the mass of glucose

Mr of glucose

= 6(12) +12(1) +6(16)

= 180

Moles of glucose reacted

= 200 ÷180

= $\frac{10}{9}$ mol
