Answer:

Which are positive?  D.

Which are negative? A. B. C.

Explanation:

Generally, entropy can be defined as the degree of randomness of a system. The entropy of any system increases with an increase in the number of moles of the system. Entropy also increases when there is a change of state from solid to liquid or liquid to gas. Therefore for the systems in the given question:

A pond freezes in winter

The degree of disorderliness decrease because there is a change of state from liquid to solid. Thus, ΔSsys is negative.

Atmospheric CO2 dissolves in the ocean

There is also decrease in randomness, thus, ΔSsys is negative.

An apple tree bears fruit

There is also decrease in randomness, thus, ΔSsys is negative.

Why is it important that scientific knowledge changes?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:Scientific knowledge can change because it is often examined and re-examined by new investigations and scientific argumentation. Because of these frequent examinations, scientific knowledge becomes stronger, leading to its durability. ... B: Scientific knowledge is durable and robust, but open to change.

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Cloud [144]
<span>Fe(NO3)2
The NO3 part is a poly-atomic ion with total charge -1.
This is because Fe has a +2 charge and two NO3's with a -1 charge will balance out to 0.
 Most often we just make the assumption that Oxygen has a -2 oxidation number because it is very electro-negative.
So to find N, we just need an oxidation number that balances out with 3(-2) to get -1 (the total charge of the ion)</span>

Which pair shares the same empirical formula?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:- 3. CH_3 and C_2H_6

Explanations:- An empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in the molecule/compound.

For example, the molecular formula of benzene is C_6H_6 . The ratio of C to H in it is 6:6 that could be simplified to 1:1. So, an empirical formula of benzene is CH.

In the first pair, the ratio of C to H in first molecule is 2:4 that could be simplified to 1:2 and  the empirical formula is CH_2 . In second molecule the ratio of C to H is 6:6 and it could be simplified to 1:1. and the empirical formula is CH. Empirical formulas are different for both the molecules of first pair and so it is not the right choice.

In second pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:2, so the empirical formula is CH_2 . The C to H ratio for second molecule is 1:4, so the empirical formula is CH_4 . Here also, the empirical formulas are not same and hence it is also not the right choice.

In third pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:3, so the empirical formula is CH_3 . In second molecule the C to H ratio is 2:6 and it is simplified to 1:3. So, the empirical formula for this one is also CH_3 . Hence. this is the correct choice.

In fourth pair, first molecule empirical formula is CH. Second molecule has 2:4 that is 1:2 mole ratio of C to H and so its empirical formula is CH_2 . As the empirical formulas are different, it is not the right choice.

So, the only and only correct pair is the third one. 3. CH_3 and C_2H_6

Current is applied to a molten mixture of AgF , FeCl2 , and AlBr3 . What is produced at each electrode? STRATEGY Rank the cation
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Cathode: Ag

Anode: Br₂

Explanation:

In the cathode must occur a reduction, so it's more likely to a metal atom be in the cathode. For the metals given the reduction reactions and the potential of reduction are:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag⁰ E° = + 0.80 V

Fe⁺² + 2e⁻ ⇒ Fe⁰ E° = - 0.44 V

Al⁺³ + 3e⁻ ⇒ Al⁰ E° = -1.66 V

As the potential for Ag is the higher, the reduction will occur for it first, so in the cathode will produce Ag.

For the anode an oxidation must occurs, so the reactions for the nonmetals are:

F₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2F⁻ E° = +2.87 V

Cl₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Cl⁻ E° = +1.36 V

Br₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Br⁻ E° = +1.07 V

For oxidation, the less the E°, the faster the reaction will occur, so Br₂ will be formed in the anode.
