Answer:Low temperatures

Explanation:

∆G= ∆H-T∆S

If ∆H is negative (exothermic reaction), then in order to maintain ∆G<0 which is the condition for spontaneity; T must decrease. This is because, decrease in T will keep the difference of ∆H and T∆S at a negative value in order to satisfy the above stated condition for spontaneity.

Answer:

B - Low Temperatures

Explanation:  

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the Gibb’s free energy value has to be negative and to achieve this: the enthalpy, entropy and temperature have to meet certain criteria.

ΔG=ΔH−TΔS

• When the enthalpy is below 0 and entropy is above 0, the reaction  

       spontaneous

• When the enthalpy is below 0 and the entropy is above zero, the

       reaction is spontaneous only at high temperatures

• When the enthalpy and entropy is below 0, the reaction can be

       spontaneous only at low temperatures

• When both the enthalpy is above 0 and entropy below 0, the

       reaction cannot be spontaneous

From the above explanation, we can infer that a decrease in entropy will require a low temperature and a low enthalpy for the reaction to be spontaneous

The feed to a batch process contains equimolar quantities of nitrogen and methane. write an expression for the kilograms of nitr
timama [110]
1) number of moles of N2 = n/2

2) Number of moles of CH4 = n/2

3) Total number of moles of the mixture = n/2 + n/2 = n

4) Kg of N2

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of N2 = 2 * 14.0 g/mol = 28 g/mol

=> mass of N2 in grams = (n/2) * 28 = 14n

mass of N2 in Kg = mass of N2 in grams * [1 kg / 1000g] = 14n/1000 kg = 0.014n kg

Answer: mass of N2 in kg = 0.014n kg

Suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 5 moles of oxygen.
Ronch [10]

Answer : The limiting reagent is O_2

Solution : Given,

Moles of methane = 2.8 moles

Moles of O_2 = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of O_2 react with 1 mole of CH_4

So, 5 moles of O_2 react with \frac{5}{2}=2.5 moles of CH_4

From this we conclude that, CH_4 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent is O_2

Equal molar quantities of Ca2 and EDTA (H4Y) are added to make a 0.010 M solution of CaY2- at pH 10. The formation constant for
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

the concentration of free Ca2⁺ in this solution is 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Ca^{2+ + y^{4- ⇄  CaY^{2-

Formation constant Kf

Kf = CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][y^{4-] ) = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

Now,

[y^{4-] = \alpha _4CH_4Y; ∝₄ = 0.35

so the equilibrium is;

Ca^{2+ + H_4Y ⇄  CaY^{2- + 4H⁺

Given that; CH_4Y = Ca^{2+     { 1 mol Ca^{2+  reacts with 1 mol H_4Y  }

so at equilibrium, CH_4Y = Ca^{2+ = x

∴

Ca^{2+ + y^{4- ⇄  CaY^{2-

x        + x         0.010-x

since Kf is high, them x will be small so, 0.010-x is approximately 0.010

so;

Kf = CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][y^{4-] ) =  CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][\alpha _4CH_4Y] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][\alpha _4CH_4Y] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ 0.010 / ( [x][ 0.35 × x] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ 0.010 / 0.35x²  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 0.010 / ( 0.35 × 5.0 × 10¹⁰ )

⇒ x² = 0.010 / 1.75 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 0.010 / 1.75 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 5.7142857 × 10⁻¹³

⇒ x = √(5.7142857 × 10⁻¹³)

⇒ x = 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

Therefore, the concentration of free Ca2⁺ in this solution is 7.559 × 10⁻⁷
