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.

A 3.50 g sample of an unknown compound containing only C , H , and O combusts in an oxygen‑rich environment. When the products h
statuscvo [17]

Explanation:

First, calculate the moles of CO_{2} using ideal gas equation as follows.

                PV = nRT

or,          n = \frac{PV}{RT}

                = \frac{1 atm \times 4.41 ml}{0.0821 Latm/mol K \times 293 K}      (as 1 bar = 1 atm (approx))

                = 0.183 mol

As,   Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Hence, mass of water will be as follows.

                Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

             0.998 g/ml = \frac{mass}{3.26 ml}    

                 mass = 3.25 g

Similarly, calculate the moles of water as follows.

        No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                              =  \frac{3.25 g}{18.02 g/mol}            

                              = 0.180 mol

Moles of hydrogen = 0.180 \times 2 = 0.36 mol

Now, mass of carbon will be as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

          0.183 mol =  \frac{mass}{12 g/mol}            

                              = 2.19 g

Therefore, mass of oxygen will be as follows.

              Mass of O = mass of sample - (mass of C + mass of H)

                                = 3.50 g - (2.19 g + 0.36 g)

                                = 0.95 g

Therefore, moles of oxygen will be as follows.

          No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                               =  \frac{0.95 g}{16 g/mol}            

                              = 0.059 mol

Now, diving number of moles of each element of the compound by smallest no. of moles as follows.

                         C              H           O

No. of moles:  0.183        0.36       0.059

On dividing:      3.1           6.1            1

Therefore, empirical formula of the given compound is C_{3}H_{6}O.

Thus, we can conclude that empirical formula of the given compound is C_{3}H_{6}O.

Find the value of x in the triangle
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

55.52°

Explanation:

Concept tested: Sine rule of triangles

We need to know the sine rule

  • According to sine rule, if the three sides of a triangle are a, b and c and the corresponding angles, A, B and C
  • Then, \frac{a}{SinA}=\frac{b}{SinB}=\frac{c}{SinC}

In this case;

  • If we take, a = 5.7 units and A = 70°, and

         b= 5 units, B = x°

  • Using the sine rule we can find the value of x

Therefore;

\frac{a}{SinA}=\frac{b}{SinB}

Then;

\frac{5.7}{Sin70}=\frac{5}{Sinx}

6.0658=\frac{5}{sinx}

Sinx=0.8243

Therefore, X = 55.52°

Therefore, the value of x in the triangle is 55.52°
