Answer:

a. NH4(aq)+ CH3COO-(aq) ---> NH3 (aq) +CH3COOH(aq)

Explanation:

Entropy -  

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .  

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

  • When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,  

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .

  • When liquid is converted to solid entropy decreases,  

As the molecules in liquid state are loosely packed and has less force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to solid, the force of attraction between the molecule increases and hence entropy decreases.  

Hence ,

The order of entropy is -

gas > aqueous > liquid > gas .

Hence, from the question ,

The reaction where there is increase in entropy is  -

a. NH₄(aq)⁺ + CH₃COO⁻(aq) ---> NH₃ (aq) + CH₃COOH(aq)

Equation: 3Cu(s) 8HNO3(aq) --> 2NO(g) 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) 4H2O(l) In the above reaction, the element oxidized is ______, the reduci
igomit [66]

Answer:

1. Cu

2. Cu

3. 2 electrons.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

3Cu(s) + 8HNO3(aq) -> 2NO(g) 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 4H2O(l)

Step 2:

Determination of the change of oxidation number of each element present.

For Cu:

Cu = 0 (ground state)

Cu(NO3)2 = 0

Cu + 2( N + 3O) = 0

Cu + 2(5 + (3 x -2)) =0

Cu + 2 (5 - 6) = 0

Cu + 2(-1) = 0

Cu - 2 = 0

Cu = 2

The oxidation number of Cu changed from 0 to +2

For N:

HNO3 = 0

H + N + 3O = 0

1 + N + (3 x - 2) = 0

1 + N - 6 = 0

N = 6 - 1

N = 5

NO = 0

N - 2 = 0

N = 2

The oxidation number of N changed from +5 to +2

The oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen remains the same.

Note:

1. The oxidation number of Hydrogen is always +1 except in hydride where it is - 1

2. The oxidation number of oxygen is always - 2 except in peroxide where it is - 1

Step 3:

Answers to the questions given above

From the above illustration,

1. Cu is oxidize because its oxidation number increased from 0 to +2 as it loses electron.

2. Cu is the reducing agent because it reduces the oxidation number of N from +5 to +2.

3. The reducing agent i.e Cu transferred 2 electrons to the oxidising agent HNO3 because its oxidation number increase from 0 to +2 as it loses its electrons. This means that Cu transfer 2 electrons.

C₃ H8<br> What is the subscript for carbon in this molecule?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Subscript basically tells you the number of element or ions present in a compound. In this case the subscript of carbon which is 3 denotes that only three carbon atoms is present in the compound.
