When nonpolar solutes are placed in water, the hydrogen bonding network of water is disrupted, and there are fewer ways for wate

r to hydrogen-bond with itself. Is this an increase or decrease in entropy?

Answer:  increase in entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

When the non polar solutes are placed in water, the hydrogen bonding network of water is disrupted, and there are fewer ways for water to hydrogen-bond with itself. That means the water molecules are more randomly arranged and thus have more entropy and thus \Delta S is positive.

In acidic solution, the sulfate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is SO42−(aq) Sn2 (aq)→H2
Sav [38]

Answer:

SO₄²⁻(aq) +Sn²⁺(aq) +4H⁺ → H₂SO₃(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq) + H₂O

Explanation:

At first calculate the oxidation state of that element which undergoes oxidation as well as reduction.

for SO₄²⁻ the oxidation state of sulphur is +6 and H₂SO₃ the oxidation state of sulphur is +4

So balance equation is

(Reduction)      SO₄²⁻ + 4H⁺+ 2e⁻ → H₂SO₃ + H₂O.........................................(1)

(oxidation)        Sn²⁺ → Sn⁴⁺ + 2e⁻ .............................................................(2)

Adding equation 1 & 2

we get

SO₄²⁻(aq) +Sn²⁺(aq) +4H⁺ → H₂SO₃(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq) + H₂O

How is heat produced in a chemical change​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:Hola UwU

Most chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. It takes energy to break a chemical bond but energy is released when chemical bonds are formed. If more energy is released than consumed, then the chemical reaction evolves heat and is said to be exothermic.

Explanation:Adios~ UnU haha

Identify the main purpose of the Periodic Table. *
saw5 [17]

The periodic table is one of the most important tools in the history of chemistry. It describes the atomic properties of every known chemical element in a concise format, including the atomic number, atomic mass and relationships between the elements. Elements with similar chemical properties are arranged in columns in the periodic table.

The table thus is a quick reference as to what elements may behave the same chemically or which may have similar weights or atomic structures.

Hope this answer helps you

Breaking a solid reactant into pieces results in
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

If one of the reactants is a solid, only the particles at the surface can partake in the reaction. Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction

Write 10,847,100 in Scientific Notation with 4 significant figures.
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The number 10,847,100 in Scientific Notation is 1.0847x10^{7}

Explanation:

Scientific notation is an easy form to write long numbers and it is commonly used in the scientific field. To write a long number in a shorter way it is necessary to 'move' the decimal point to the left the number of positions that are necessary until you get a unit. Then you write the number and multiplied it by 10 raised to the number of positions you moved the decimal point. In this case, it is necessary to move the decimal point 7 positions so, we multiply the number by 10 raised to 7.
