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.

When 7.085 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 21.71 grams of CO2 and 10.37 grams of H
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

- Empirical:

C_3H_7

- Molecular:

C_6H_{14}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the information regarding the combustion, the moles of carbon turn out:

n_C=21.71gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.493molC

Moreover, the moles of hydrogen:

n_H=10.37gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=1.152molH

Thus, the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon turn out:

C=\frac{0.4934}{0.4934}=1\\H=\frac{1.15222}{0.4934}=2.335\\CH_{2.335}

Now, looking for a suitable whole number we obtain the following empirical formula as 2.335 times 3 is 7 for hydrogen:

C_3H_7

In such a way, that compound has a molar mass of 43 g/mol, thus, the whole compound's molar mass is 86.18 g/mol for which the molecular formula is twice the empirical one, therefore:

C_6H_{14}

Which is hexane.

Best regards.

A cylindrical glass tube of length 27.4cm and radius 4 cm is filled with gas. The empty tube has a mass of 254.3 g. The tube fil
Temka [501]

Density of the gas is 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Volume of the cylinder = π r² h

where r is the radius and h is the height of the height or the length of the glass tube.

Here r = 4 cm and h = 27.4 cm

Volume of the cylinder = 3.14 × 4 × 4 × 27.4 = 1376.6 cm³

We have to find the mass of the gas by subtracting the mass of the tube filled with the substance from the mass of the empty tube.

Mass of the substance = 258.5 - 254.3 = 4.2 g

We have to find the density using the formula as,

$ Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Plugin the values as,

$ Density = \frac{4.2}{1376.6}

              = 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³

So the Density of the gas is 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

DNA consists of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide comprises a group of phosphates, a group of sugars and a base of nitrogen. The four forms of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The sequence of these bases defines the DNA instructions or genetic code.
