Answer:

G<0, spontanteous

H<0, from equation

S>0, gas to solid

Explanation:

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel is a solid. It is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of SiO2. Water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, so it acts as a desiccant. Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. Predict the signs of ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS.

Helium is a light gas.  Movement can be predicted by which chamber has the lighter gas(es) and which chamber has the heavier.  constant changes can also be a variable.  If the gas is constant, then changes are more easily predicted.

At what Celsius temperature does 0.750 mol of an ideal gas occupy a volume of 35.9 L at 114 kPa?
shepuryov [24]

382.85  Celsius is the temperature does 0.750 moles of an ideal gas occupy a volume of 35.9 L at 114 kPa.

Explanation:

Given data:

number of moles of the gas  = 0.75 moles

volume of the gas = 35.9 liters

pressure of the gas = 114 KPa or 1.125 atm

R = 0.0821 latm/moleK

temperature of the gas T = ?

The equation used to calculate temperature from above data is ideal gas law equation.

the equation is :

PV = nRT

T = \frac{PV}{nR}

Putting the values in the above rewritten equation:

T = \frac{1.125 X 35.9}{0.75 X 0.0821}

T = 655.9 K

To convert kelvin into celsius, formula used is

K = 273.15+ C

putting the values in the equation

C = 656 - 273.15

   = 382.85  Celsius

Why do different molecules require different masses to make 1 mol
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Different substances have different molecular masses. Thus, equal masses have different numbers of atoms, molecules, or moles. On the other hand, equal numbers of moles of different substances have different masses.
