Answer:

One can determine the specific heat of the metal through using the clarimeter, water, thermometer and using heat equations.

Explanation:

You can learn about heat effects and calorimetery through a simple experiment by boiling water and heating up the metal in it. Then, pour it into your calorimeter and the heat will flow from the metal to the water. The two equlibria will meet: the metal will loose heat into its surroundings (the water) and teh water will absorb the heat. The heat flow for the water is the same as it is for the metal, the only difference being is the negative sign indicating the loss of the heat of the metal.

In terms of theromdynamics, we can deteremine the heat flow for the metal becasue it would be equal to the mangnitued but opposite in direction. Thus, we can say that the specific heat of water qH2O = -qmetal.

For which process is ΔS negative? Group of answer choices A. grinding a large crystal of KCl to powder B. raising the temperatur

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of a system, and ΔS = Sfinal - Sinitial. As higher is the disorder of the system, as higher is the entropy.

A. When KCl is fractionated in power, there'll be more portions of it, so, the disorder must be higher, then ΔS is positive.

B. As higher is the temperature, higher is the kinetic energy of the system, and because of that, the disorder is also higher, so ΔS is positive.

C. The decrease in the volume (compression) decreases the distance between the molecules, so the system will be more organized, then ΔS is negative.

D. The volume before the mixing will be higher, and the ethanol will dissociate, so it will be more particles, the disorder will increase, and ΔS is positive.

E. Sgas > Sliquid > Ssolid because of the disorder of the molecules, then ΔS is positive.
