Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is the degree of randomness that is, more randomly the atoms of a substance are moving more will be its entropy.

For example, when ice melts then solid state of water is changing into liquid state. This, means degree of randomness is increasing.

Whereas when water is freezing then molecules are coming closer to each other. As a result, there occurs decrease in degree of randomness.

Thus, we can conclude that H2O(l) \rightarrow H2O(s) is the change that has a decrease in entropy.

In order to solve this problem you need to consider the states of matter and the amount of products.

If there are more products than reactants than there is an increase in entropy.

States of matter: increasing the motion of particles increases entropy.

Molecular movement:

Solid<Liquid<Gas

Changing states of matter from left to right would be an increase in entropy.

Changing states of matter from right to left would be a decrease in entropy

The answer is number 3

At 400 K oxalic acid decomposes according to the reaction:H2C2O4(g)→CO2(g)+HCOOH(g)In three separate experiments, the intial pre
padilas [110]

Answer:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

Explanation:

For the reaction:

H₂C₂O₄(g) → CO₂(g) + HCOOH(g)

At t = 0, the initial pressure is just of H₂C₂O₄(g). At t= 20000 s, pressures will be:

H₂C₂O₄(g) = P₀ - x

CO₂(g) = x

HCOOH(g) = x

P at t=20000 is:

P₀ - x + x + x = P₀+x. That means P at t=20000s - P₀ = x

For 1st point:

x = 92,8-65,8 = 27

Pressure of H₂C₂O₄(g) at t=20000s: 65,8-27 = 38,8

2nd point:

x = 130-92,1 = 37,9

H₂C₂O₄(g): 92,1 - 37,9 = 54,2

3rd point:

x = 157-111 = 46

H₂C₂O₄(g): 111-46 = 65

Now, as the rate law is :

v = k P[H₂C₂O₄]

Based on integrated rate law, k is:

(- ln P[H₂C₂O₄] + ln P[H₂C₂O₄]₀) / t = k

1st point:

k = 2,64x10⁻⁵

2nd point:

k = 2,65x10⁻⁵

3rd point:

k = 2,68x10⁻⁵

The averrage of this values is:

k = 2,66x10⁻⁵

That means law is:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

I hope it helps!
