Answer:
D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous.
Explanation:
<em>What does Gibbs free energy (ΔG) predict?
.</em>
A. It predicts what the rate of the reaction will be. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.
B. It predicts how high the activation energy is. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.
C. It predicts if entropy will increase or decrease. NO. ΔG depends on the entropy but not the other way around.
D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous. YES. If ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous and if ΔG > 0 the reaction is not spontaneous.
Answer:
Sc (Scandium) has the given electronic configuration.
Explanation:
The given electronic configuration is [Ar]
.
The last electron enters the d-subshell and hence is a d-block element known as Scandium with chemical symbol Sc.
For 4s subshell
n=4,l=0 and m ranges from -l to +l so m=0.
For 3d subshell
n=3,l=2 and m ranges from -l to +l so m can take values -2,-1,0,+1,+2
Note:
l values for subshells:
s : 0
p : 1
d : 2
f : 3 and so on.
Answer: It is an exothermic process because heat energy is absorbed by the water as the NaOH(s) dissolves in it.
Explanation:
Endothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed from the surrounding. In the endothermic reaction, the reactant are less than the energy of product. In endothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, positive
Exothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is released into the surrounding. In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are more than the energy of product. In exothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, negative.
Thus as energy is absorbed by water, which has been released by NaOH, the process is exothermic.
Answer:
C is the answer to the question
The % yield of Ca(OH)₂ : 62.98%
<h3>Further eplanation
</h3>
Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated
General formula:
Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%
An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients
Reaction
CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂
mass CaO= 4.2 g
mol CaO(MW=56,0774 g/mol) :

mol Ca(OH)₂ based on mol CaO
mol ratio CaO : Ca(OH)₂,= 1 : 1, so mol Ca(OH)₂ = 0.075
mass Ca(OH)₂(MW=74,093 g/mol) ⇒ theoretical

% yield :
