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

A chemist has to prepare 250.0 mL of a 0.300 M Na2SO4(aq) solution. What mass, in grams, of sodium sulfate (formula mass 142.05
Sedbober [7]

The mass of sodium sulphate, Na₂SO₄, required to prepare the solution is 10.65 g

<h3>How to determine the mole of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
  • Volume = 250 mL = 250 / 1000 = 0.25 L
  • Molarity = 0.3 M
  • Mole of Na₂SO₄ =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.3 × 0.25

Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole

<h3>How to determine the mass of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
  • Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ = 142.05 g/mol
  • Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole
  • Mass of Na₂SO₄ =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 × 142.05

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 10.65 g

Thus, 10.65 g of Na₂SO₄ is needed to prepare the solution.

Students asked to measure the temperature of a reaction beaker recorded the following temperatures. 103.7°C, 108.4°C, 105.8°C, 1
Nata [24]

There are two terms

a) accuracy : it relates to the exactness of an answer that how an answer is close to the actual answer or actual reading

So 104.6 is accurate

b) Precision : This is related to the closeness of different readings with each other

The first reading is 103.7 and the second one is 108.4  so the second reading is quite different from the first reading so it cannot be called as precised

Again 105.8 has good difference from the second reading hence again this is not precised

However the last reading 104.6 is quite near to 105.8 so 104.6 can be called as precise

Choose the correct products for the double replacement reaction below. Click here to access the solubility rules to determine wh
Lemur [1.5K]

MgCl₂ & PbSO₄ is the correct product for the given double replacement reaction.

<h3>What is double displacement reaction?</h3>

In the double displacement reaction displacement of two substrate will take place among two reactants and formation of products takes place.

In the question, PbCl₂ reacts with MgSO₄ and displacement between the cations takes place and formation of  MgCl₂ and insoluble precipitate PbSO₄ is formed.

Given reaction is represented as:

PbCl₂ + MgSO₄ → MgCl₂ + PbSO₄

According to the activity series, reactivity of Magnesium is more as compared to the lead atom. So lead is displaced by the magnesium atom and form the above given products.

Hence, option (3) is correct i.e. MgCl₂ & PbSO₄.
