Answer:  precipitation of AgCl(s) from Ag^+(aq) and Cl^-(aq) ions in solution

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.

a) precipitation of AgCl(s) from Ag^+(aq) and Cl^-(aq) ions in solution : As ions are getting solidified, entropy decreases.

b) dissolution of LiOH(s) in water: The compounds dissociates into ions, entropy increases.

c) melting solid gold into liquid gold: The randomness increases, entropy increases.

d) evaporation of Hg(l) to form Hg(g) : The randomness increases, entropy increases.

e)  mixing of two gases into one container : The randomness increases, entropy increases.

Complete the chemical reaction that occurs when dimethylamine (ch3)2nh reacts with water.
grandymaker [24]
Dimethyl amine is Base. The basic character of it is due to the presence of lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom. The strength of amines is basically due to the presence of alkyl group attached to nitrogen atom. These alkyl groups donates electron to nitrogen atom hence increasing electron density on nitrogen and increasing its basic character.

When dimethylamine ( Kb = 5.9 × 10⁻⁴) is reacted with water it abstracts proton from water molecule convertion it into Hydroxide Ion (i.e ⁻OH). The reaction is as follow,

                          (CH₃)₂N  +  H₂O   →   (CH₃)₂N⁺H   +   ⁻OH

Answer: The correct answer is -297 kJ.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we want to modify each of the equations given to get the equation at the bottom of the photo. To do this, we realize that we need SO2 on the right side of the equation (as a product). This lets us know that we must reverse the first equation. This gives us:

2SO3 —> O2 + 2SO2 (196 kJ)

Remember that we take the opposite of the enthalpy change (reverse the sign) when we reverse the equation.

Now, both equations have double the coefficients that we would like (for example, there is 2S in the second equation when we need only S). This means we should multiply each equation (and their enthalpy changes) by 1/2. This gives us:

SO3 —>1/2O2 + SO2 (98 kJ)

S + 3/2O2 —> SO3 (-395 kJ)

Now, we add the two equations together. Notice that the SO3 in the reactants in the first equation and the SO3 in the products of the second equation cancel. Also note that O2 is present on both sides of the equation, so we must subtract 3/2 - 1/2, giving us a net 1O2 on the left side of the equation.

S + O2 —> SO2

Now, we must add the enthalpies together to get our final answer.

-395 kJ + 98 kJ = -297 kJ

Hope this helps!

If a car can go from 0 to 60 mi/hr in 8.0 seconds, what would be its final speed after 5.0 seconds if its starting speed were 50
tangare [24]

Answer:

87.5 mi/hr

Explanation:

Because a = Δv / Δt (a = vf - vi/ Δt), we need to find the acceleration first to know the change in velocity so we can determine the final velocity.

vf = 60 mi/hr

vi = 0 mi/hr

Δt = 8 secs

a = vf - vi/ Δt

= 60 mi/hr - 0 mi/hr/ 8 secs

= 60 mi/hr / 8 secs

= 7.5 mi/hr^2

Now that we know the acceleration of the car is 7. 5 mi/hr^2, we can substitute it in the acceleration formula to find the final velocity when the initial velocity is 50 mi/hr after 5 secs.

vi = 50 mi/ hr

Δt = 5 secs

a = 7.5 mi/ hr^2

a = vf - vi/ Δt

7.5 = vf - 50 mi/hr / 5 secs

37.5 = vf - 50

87.5 mi/ hr = vf
