The water from the lake must first evaporate from the liquid state to the gaseous state and then condense in the air to form vapors.
The water molecules absorb energy while evaporating and release it when condensing. Their motion gets faster when they are evaporating and slows back down upon condensation.
Answer:
The reaction must be spontaneous, the disorder of the system increases.
Explanation:
By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a positive change in entropy is due to a net input heat, and entropy is a measure of the grade of disorder within the system. The net input heat means that resultant goes to the system from the surroundings.
By the First Law of Thermodynamics, a net input heat is due to a positive change in enthalpy.
The reaction is endothermic and spontaneous (since change in entropy is positive).
Answer:
17.1195 grams of nitric acid are produced.
Explanation:
Moles of nitrogen dioxide :
According to reaction 3 moles of nitrogen dioxides gives 2 moles of nitric acid.
Then 0.5434 moles of nitrogen dioxides will give:
of nitric acid.
Mass of 0.3623 moles of nitric acid :
Theoretical yield = 22.8260 g
Experimental yield = ?
Experimental yield of nitric acid = 17.1195 g
