<h2>Answer:</h2>

The decrease in entropy is caused when the product of a reaction has lesser disorder than that of reactant.  

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that the entropy is the measure of system's disorder, the entropy in solid is less than that of liquid and gases. Gases have highest entropy. The thermodynamics, the second law is based on entropy which defines that in spontaneous reaction, there is always increase in the entropy.

If the reactants are undergoing a chemical reaction to produce a product that has lesser disorder, then there is decrease in entropy. For example, if two gases react to form a solid, then there will be decrease in entropy.

The hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule has an internuclear separation of 127 pm (picometers). Assume the atomic isotopes that make
natta225 [31]

Answer:

the energy of the third excited rotational state \mathbf{E_3 = 16.041 \ meV}

Explanation:

Given that :

hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule has an intermolecular separation of 127 pm

Assume the atomic isotopes that make up the molecule are hydrogen-1 (protium) and chlorine-35.

Thus; the reduced mass μ = \dfrac{m_1 \times m_2}{m_1 + m_2}

μ = \dfrac{1 \times 35}{1 + 35}

μ = \dfrac{35}{36}

∵ 1 μ = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

μ  = \\ \\ \dfrac{35}{36} \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27} \ \  kg

μ  = 1.6139 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

r_o = 127 \ pm = 127*10^{-12} \ m

The rotational level Energy can be expressed by the equation:

E_J = \dfrac{h^2}{8 \pi^2 I } \times J ( J +1)

where ;

J = 3 ( i.e third excited state)  &

I = \mu r^2_o

E_J= \dfrac{h^2}{8  \pi  \mu r^ 2 \mur_o } \times J ( J +1)

E_3 = \dfrac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34})^2}{8  \times  \pi ^2  \times 1.6139 \times 10^{-27} \times( 127 \times 10^{-12}) ^ 2  } \times 3 ( 3 +1)

E_3= 2.5665 \times 10^{-21} \ J

We know that :

1 J = \dfrac{1}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}eV

E_3= \dfrac{2.5665 \times 10^{-21} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}eV

E_3 = 16.041  \times 10 ^{-3} \ eV

\mathbf{E_3 = 16.041 \ meV}
