Answer:

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

  • When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .  

  • If in a reaction , more number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0
  • When liquid is converted to solid entropy decreases,  

As the molecules in liquid state are loosely packed and has less force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to solid, the force of attraction between the molecule increases and hence entropy decreases.

  • If in a reaction , less number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will decrease , i.e. Δ°S < 0

From the question ,

( a )  NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 5 = 6

Product - 4 + 6 = 10 ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

( b ) CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 2 = 3

Product - 1 + 2 = 3 ,

Since ,

Both the side the value of gaseous atoms are , hence , Δ°S = 0 .

( c ) CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant = 0

Product - 0 + 1 = 1 ,

Since ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

Which 10-milliliter sample of water has the greatest degree of disorder?A)H2O(g) at 120°CB)H2O() at 80°CC)H2O() at 20°CD)H2O(s)
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

A) H₂O at 120°C

Explanation:

It is possible to think the higher temperature, the greatest degree of disorder. That is because with a high temperature, vibrations of molecules increases.

In general, at low temperatures, the molecules are in solid state (The lowest degree of disorder), increasing its temperature, molecules becomes in liquids, and, with more temperature, are gases (The greatest degree of disorder).

Thus, the sample that has the greatest degree of disorder is:

<h3>A) H₂O at 120°C</h3>
