Answer:

<em>The rank of the solutes in order of increasing entropy is</em>:

  •   <em>CH₃OH < NaBr < CaCl₂ < Cr(NO₃)₃</em>

Explanation:

Assuming temperature and other conditions are the same, you can qualititatively precict the relative increase of entropy, when a given amount of solute dissolves in a fixed aomount of water, by looking at the number of particles (molecules or ions) that are formed.

The particles of solute that, prior to get dissolved, are pure and orderly separated, will be very scattered after the dissolution, increasing, consequently, the degree of randomness or dissorder of the system.

Also, the greater the number of particles formed from each unit formula, the greater the degree of disorder and the greater the entropy.

Hence, being the entropy a measure of the radnomness of the system, you can predict that the greater the number of particles (molecules or ions) dissolved, the greater the entropy.

Now look at the dissociation of each given solute:

  • CaCl₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻ : 3 ions are formed.

  • CH₃OH: is a molecular compound, so 1 molecule is dispersed.

  • Cr(NO₃)₃ → Cr³⁺ + 3 NO₃⁻: 4 ions are formed.

  • NaBr → Na⁺ + Br⁻ : 2 ions are formed.

Then, the rank in order of increasing entropy, is:

       1       <     2   <     3     <      4

  CH₃OH < NaBr < CaCl₂ < Cr(NO₃)₃

When adding or subtracting deelmals, how many digits should the answer contain?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Depends, but in most cases, 2.

It's best to use as many digits as possible to keep it accurate.

Explanation:

This varies between teachers, as most schools go with 2 decimal places.

This is something that depends in your situation.

You technically want as many decimals as possible to keep it as accurate, but most people stick with 2.

I personally do 3, and commonly do 5 sometimes.

a) The change here is that metallic iron is converted into ions and copper is deposited. This is called a displacement reaction.

b) \text{Fe} is oxidised in this reaction.

`according to the electronegativity table, the value for carbon and nitrogen is 2.5 and 3.0, respectively. what type of bond wou
nikitadnepr [17]
The type of bond between two elements can be predicted by measuring the electronegativity difference between the two atoms. Based on this difference the type of bonds are classified as,
E.N difference between 0.0 to 0.3 = Non Polar bond
E.N difference between 0.4 to 1.0 = Moderate Polar Covalent Bond
E.N difference between 1.1 to 2.0 = Very Polar Covalent Bond
E.N difference greater than 2.0 = Ionic Bond
So,
(E.N of N) 3.04 - (E.N of C) 2.55 = 0.49
As the difference is between 0.4-1.0, So, the bond between C and N is Moderate Polar Covalent Bond (or Polar Covalent Bond).
