Answer: D. An increase in entropy
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an disordered arrangement to an ordered arrangement, the entropy is said to increase and vice versa.
For a reaction to be spontaneous, the enthalpy of the solution must decrease and the entropy must increase.
To overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid solute to dissolve in water, an increase in entropy would make the reaction spontaneous as the system would move to a more disordered state.
Answer:
b) 2.0 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of Ca needed = ?
Number of moles of water present = 4.0 mol
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Ca + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + H₂
now we will compare the moles of Ca and H₂O .
H₂O : Ca
2 : 1
4.0 : 1/2×4.0 = 2.0 mol
Thus, 2 moles of Ca are needed.
The correct answer is option a, that is, it gets broken down.
A set of metabolic reactions and procedures, which occurs in the cells of organisms to transform biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then discharge waste components is known as cellular respiration. At the time of cellular respiration, a molecule of glucose gets dissociated slowly into water and carbon dioxide. With it, some of the ATP is generated directly in the reactions, which transform glucose.
