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

Fill in the missing information:
Neko [114]

Answer: 1. Complete Nuclear Symbol : _{22}^{48}{Ti^{4+}}

2. Atomic number : 22

3. Mass number : 48  

4. Charge : 4 +

Explanation:

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Mass number is the sum of number of neelectrons. utrons and number of protons.

Given : no of protons = 22 , thus atomic number = 22

Mass number =  number of neutrons + number of protons

Mass number =  26 + 22 = 48

Also for a neutral atom , the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. But here electrons are 4 less than protons, which means the atom has lost 4 electrons and thus will have a charge of 4+.

The atomic number is specific to an element, and the element with atomic number 22 is Titanium (Ti). The representation is _{22}^{48}{Ti^{4+}}

why might you find fossil evidence of both an ocean and a forest at different depths in the same location??
skad [1K]

Answer:

The fossil evidence of both an ocean and a forest can be found at different depths in the same location because there might have been a presence of both an ocean and a forest at the same location at different times in the history of Earth.

Explanation:

It is clear from various studies that the Earth has had a diverse geologic history in which events like drastic climate changes, upsurging of oceans, rapid desertification, etc., have taken place many times.

Thus, the possibility of an ocean and forest having shared a single location at different times in the history of Earth cannot be neglected.
