<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.

Which type of mixture can be separated using distillation? A compound with elements of different boiling points Homogeneous mixt
nalin [4]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Homogeneous mixture with components of different boiling points

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Distillation is a method of separating miscible mixtures which contain components that have different boiling points.
  • The mixture is heated and the component with the low boiling point evaporates first. It is then condensed in the condenser and the distillate collected using a clean beaker.
  • For example, a miscible solution of ethanol and water can be separated using distillation.
  • Ethanol and water have different boiling points of 78°C and 100°C respectively. Ethanol is distilled out first because it has a low boiling point compared to water.

Arsenic(III) sulfide sublimes readily, even below its melting point of 320 °C. The molecules of the vapor phase are found to eff
dezoksy [38]

The molecular formula : As₄S₆

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Rate of effusion of arsenic(III) sulfide = 0.28 times the rate of effusion of Ar atoms

Required

The molecular formula

Solution

Graham's law: the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar masses or  

the effusion rates of two gases = the square root of the inverse of their molar masses:  

\rm \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1} }

or  

\rm M_1\times r_1^2=M_2\times r_2^2

Input the value :

1 = Arsenic(III) sulfide

2 = Ar

MM Ar = 40 g/mol

0.28 = √(40/M₁)

M₁=40 : 0.28²

M₁=510 g/mol

The empirical formula of arsenic(III) sulfide =  As₂S₃

(Empirical formula)n = molecular formula

( As₂S₃)n = 510 g/mol

(246.02 g/mol)n = 510 g/mol

n = 2

So the molecular formula : As₄S₆

PLEASE HELPPPP!!<br><br> How is basic salt formed?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Answer is B.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the theories of acids and bases and the definition of salt, the result of the reaction when an acid reacts with a base; it is possible to find three types of salts; acidic, basic and neutral.

Acidic salts come from the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base.

Neutral salts come from reaction between a strong acid and a strong base.

Basic salts come from the reaction between a weak acid and a strong base.

Thus, the answer would be b.

Best regards!
