Its the answer b, because oil has a great density, therefore, when you mix them together the oil will be below and the above of it.
Answer:
Explanation:
The oxidation number is an integer that represents the number of electrons that an atom receives or makes available to others when it forms a given compound.
The oxidation number is positive if the atom loses electrons, or shares them with an atom that has a tendency to accept them. And it will be negative when the atom gains electrons, or shares them with an atom that has a tendency to give them up.
Chemical compounds are electrically neutral. That is, the charge that all the atoms of a compound contribute must be globally null. That is, when having positive or negative charges in a compound, their sum must be zero.
There are some rules for determining oxidation numbers in compounds. Among them it is possible to mention:
- Hydrogen (H) has an oxidation number +1 with nonmetals and - 1 with metals.
- Oxygen (O) presents the oxidation number -2
- Fluorine F has a unique oxidation state -1
Then:
- NOF: N+(-2)+(-1)=0 → N=3 → oxidation number of nitrogen (N) is +3, oxidation number of oxygen (O) is -2 and oxidation number of fluorine (F) is -1.
- ClF₅: Cl + 5*(-1)=0 → Cl= 5 → oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is +5 and oxidation number of fluorine (F) is -1.
- H₂SO₃: 2*(+1)+S+3*(-2)=0 → S=4 → oxidation number of hydrogen (H) is +1, oxidation number of oxygen (O) is -2 and oxidation number of sulfur (S) is +4.
Answer: a) 
: negative
b) 
: positive
c) 
: positive.

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.
is positive when randomness increases and is negative when randomness decreases.
a)
As ions are moving to solid form , randomness decreases and thus sign of is negative.
b)
As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
c)
As 2 moles of reactants are converted to 4 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
d)
As gas is changing to solid, randomness decreases and thus sign of is negative.
e)
As 7 moles of reactants are converted to 8 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
f)
As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
