Which statement concerning spontaneous chemical reactions is true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
7 0
I believe the correct answer is b since a spontaneous reaction is self sufficient and should not need an ongoing out side source in order to proceed once it is started.  

a is false since some reactions that occur are relatively slow such as iron reacting with oxygen to make rust.

c is false since most reactions involve an energy change of some sort which is why we classify them as endothermic or exothermic.

d is false since catalysts help speed up reactions but do not really affect a the Gibbs free energy value which determines the spontaneity of the reaction.

Statement 2 is correct.
solids moving into solution is a physical change as the core structure of the molecules remain the same. evaporation of water and crystallization of salt are both physical changes as well.
The water does not change it's H2O chemical makeup because salt was dissolved into it.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 27.7 g of cacl2 in 375 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 1.05 g/ml. the
bagirrra123 [75]
The answer is 6.88.
Solution:
We can calculate for the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass by dividing the mass of the CaCl2 solute by the mass of the solution and then multiply by 100. The total mass of the resulting solution is the sum of the mass of CaCl2 solute and the mass of water solvent. Therefore, the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass is 
     % by mass = (mass of the solute / mass of the solution)*100 
                        = mass of solute / (mass of the solute + mass of the solvent)*100
                        = (27.7 g CaCl2 / 27.7g + 375g) * 100 
                        = 6.88
