Which statement about a reaction is not correct?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A reaction that is exothermic and causes a decrease in the entropy of the system cannot be a spontaneous reaction. This is not totally true because naturally For a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe (system plus surroundings) must increase. This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The system entropy can decrease as long as the entropy of the surroundings increases enough to make the sum of the system and surroundings positive.

And we know that a spontaneous reaction is a reaction that occurs in a given set of conditions without intervention. Spontaneous reactions are accompanied by an increase in overall entropy or disorder. If the Gibbs Free Energy is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous, and if it is positive, then it is nonspontaneous.

Develop a demonstration to show how mass is not the same thing as weight
pychu [463]

This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.

Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:

f_g = mg

where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.

Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars

g_E = 9.81 m/s^2\\g_F = 3.711 m/s^2

Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:

m*9.81 : m*3.711 \\\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx 9.81 \neq 3.711\\f_g E \neq f_g F\\

If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.

Substance X is a compound containing 632mg of manganese and 368mg of oxygen. Substance X is shown
defon

The empirical formula : MnO₂.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

632mg of manganese(Mn) = 0.632 g

368mg of oxygen(O) = 0.368 g

M Mn = 55

M O = 16

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

You didn't include the pictures, but the steps for finding the empirical formula are generally the same

  • Find mol(mass : atomic mass)

Mn : 0.632 : 55 = 0.0115

O : 0.368 : 16 =0.023

  • Divide by the smallest mol(Mn=0.0115)

Mn : O =

\tt \dfrac{0.0115}{0.0115}\div \dfrac{0.023}{0.0115}=1\div 2

The empirical formula : MnO₂

A certain metal forms a soluble nitrate salt M(NO3)3. Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 3
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

1.The electrode on the right is positive

2. 0.058V

Explanation:

The above cell is a concentration cell.

A concentration cell is an electrolytic cell that is made of two half-cells with the same electrodes, but differs in concentrations of the solutions. A concentration cell functions by diluting the more concentrated solution and concentrating the more dilute solution, creating a voltage as the cell reaches an equilibrium thereby transferring the electrons from the cell with the lower concentration to the cell with the higher concentration.

In the above cell, electrons flow from the left electrode (less concentrated) to the right electrode (more concentrated). Therefore, the right electrode is the positive electrode (cathode).

Part 2: Please, see the attachment below for the calculations.
