Answer : The correct option is, (d) sublimation of dry ice.

Explanation :

Entropy : It is defined as the measurement of randomness or disorderedness in a system.

The order of entropy will be,

As we are moving from solid state to liquid state to gaseous state, the entropy will be increases due to the increase in the disorderedness.

As we are moving from gaseous state to liquid state to solid state, the entropy will be decreases due to the decrease in the disorderedness.

(a) Condensation of steam.

Condensation : It is a type of process in which the phase changes from gaseous state to liquid state at constant temperature.

In this process, phase changes from gaseous state to liquid state that means the degree of disorderedness decreases. So, the entropy will also decreases.

(b) Reaction of magnesium with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.

$Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)$

In this reaction, the randomness of reactant molecules are more (solid+gas) and as we move towards the formation of product the randomness become less (solid) that means the degree of disorderedness decreases. So, the entropy will also decreases.

(d) Reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia.

$N_2(g)+H_2(g)\rightarrow NH_3(g)$

In this reaction, the randomness of reactant molecules are more (2 moles of gas) and as we move towards the formation of product the randomness become less (1 mole of gas) that means the degree of disorderedness decreases. So, the entropy will also decreases.

(d) Sublimation of dry ice.

Sublimation : It is a type of process in which the phase changes from solid state to gaseous state without passing through the liquid state at constant temperature.

In this process, phase changes from solid state to gaseous state that means the degree of disorderedness increases. So, the entropy will also increases.

A waste treatment pond is 50 m long and 25 m wide, and has an average depth of 2 m. The density of the waste is 75.3lbm/ft^3 .Ca

umka21 [38]

Answer:

$W = 6.65 \cdot 10^{6} lbf$

Explanation:

To find the weight (W) of the pond contents first we need to use the following equation:

$W = m\cdot g$ (1)

Where m the mass and g is the gravity

Also, we have that the mass is:

$m = \rho*V$ (2)

Where ρ is the density and V the volume

We cand calculate the volume as follows:

$V = L*w*d$ (3)

Where L is the length, w is the wide and d is the depth

By entering equation (2) and (3) into (1) we have:

$W = \rho*L*w*d*g$

$W = 75.3 lbm/ft^{3}*50 m*25 m*2 m*9.81 m/s^{2}$

$W = 75.3 lbm/ft^{3}*\frac{(1 ft)^{3}}{(0.3048 m)^{3}}*\frac{0.454 kg}{1 lbm}*50 m*25 m*2 m*9.81 m/s^{2} = 2.96 \cdot 10^{7} N}*\frac{0.2248 lbf}{1 N} = 6.65\cdot 10^{6} lbf$

Therefore, the weight of the pond is 6.65x10⁶ lbf.

I hope it helps you!

When CO2 decomposes into oxygen and carbon, it gives a gram ratio of 2.67:1 O2:C. When a 32.4g of CO2 decomposes, how many grams

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer : The mass of carbon and oxygen produced is 8.83 g and 23.6 g respectively.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$CO_2\rightarrow O_2+C$

As we are given:

$\text{Mass of }O_2}:\text{Mass of }C=2.67:1{$

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of $CO_2$ = Mass of $O_2$ + Mass of C

Total mass of $CO_2$ = 2.67 + 1 = 3.67 g

Now we have to calculate the mass of $O_2$ and C.

$\text{Mass of }O_2=\frac{\text{Given mass of }CO_2}{\text{Total mass of }CO_2}\times \text{Given mass of }O_2=\frac{32.4g}{3.67g}\times 2.67=23.6g$

and,

$\text{Mass of }C=\frac{\text{Given mass of }CO_2}{\text{Total mass of }CO_2}\times \text{Given mass of }C=\frac{32.4g}{3.67g}\times 1=8.83g$

Therefore, the mass of carbon and oxygen produced is 8.83 g and 23.6 g respectively.

What are some milk products made from lactic acid fermentation?

Nadusha1986 [10]

The presence of lactic acid, produced during the lactic acid fermentation is responsible for the sour taste and for the improved microbiological stability and safety of the food. This lactic acid fermentation is responsible for the sour taste of dairy products such as cheese, yoghurt and kefir.
1.Western world: yogurt, sourdough breads, sauerkraut, cucumber pickles and olives.
2.Middle East: pickled vegetables.
3.Korea: kimchi (fermented mixture of Chinese cabbage, radishes, red pepper, garlic and ginger)
4.Russia: kefir.
5.Egypt: laban rayab and laban zeer (fermented milks), kishk (fermented cereal and milk mixture)
6.Nigeria: gari (fermented cassava)
7.South Africa : magou (fermented maize porridge)
8.Thailand : nham (fermented fresh pork)
9.Philippines : balao balao (fermented rice and shrimp mixture)
Lactic acid fermentation also gives the sour taste to fermented vegetables such as traditionally cultured sauerkraut and pickles. The sugars in the cabbage are converted into lactic acid and serve as a preservative.

An aluminum block has a density of 2.70 g/mL. If the mass of the block is 24.60 g, find the volume of the substance.

harina [27]

Volume of a substance can be determined by dividing mass of the substance by its density.

That can be mathematical shown as:

Density=Mass/Volume

So, Volume=Mass/Density

Here mass of the substance given as 24.60 g

Whereas density of the substance is 2.70 g/mL

So,

Volume=Mass/Density

=24.6/2.7

=9.1 mL

So volume of the substance is 9.1 mL.
