Which statement about a reaction is not correct?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vikki [24]2 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.

Predict the sign for AS for each of the following systems: Water freezing Water evaporating Crystalline urea dissolving Assembly
djyliett [7]

Answer:  1.  Water freezing : \Delta S is -ve.

2. Water evaporating : \Delta S is +ve.

3. Crystalline urea dissolving : \Delta S is +ve.

4. Assembly of the plasma membrane from individual lipids: \Delta S is -ve.

5.  Assembly of a protein from individual amino acids: \Delta S is -ve.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the measurement of degree of randomness in a system.

It is represented by symbol S and we can only measure a change in entropy which is given by \Delta S.

If there is decrease in randomness , the sign for \Delta S is -ve and If there is increase in randomness , the sign for \Delta S is +ve.

1.  Water freezing: Entropy decreases as we move from liquid state to  to solid state and thus \Delta S is -ve.

2. Water evaporating : Entropy increases as we move from liquid state to  gaseous state and thus \Delta S is +ve.

3. Crystalline urea dissolving : The molecules convert from solid and ordered state to aqueous phase and random state. Thus the entropy increases and thus \Delta S is +ve.

4. Assembly of the plasma membrane from individual lipids:  random lipids are associating to form a single large polymer and thus entropy decreases and thus \Delta S is -ve.

5. Assembly of a protein from individual amino acids: random amino acids are associating to form a single large polymer and thus entropy decreases and thus \Delta S is -ve.

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons toward itself is referred to as its _____. ionic potential tonicity covalency electron
larisa86 [58]

Electronegativity

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself is called electronegativity.

It is the tendency of an atom to attract bonding pair of electrons towards itself. These atoms which are more electronegative are able to bear a negative charge and be stable.

Unlike electropositive elements which tend to lose electrons , electronegative elements hold on tightly to the electrons.

The electronegativity is measured using the Pauling Scale where the most electronegative element of the periodic table, Fluorine , is given a value of 4 and the rest of the elements have values lower than 4 according to the trends followed by their groups and periods.

The least electronegative element of the periodic table , Cesium has a value of 0.7 on the Pauling Scale.

Electronegativity increases when we move from left to right in the periodic table and it decreases (in general) when we move down the group.
