During a spontaneous chemical reaction, it is found that ΔSsys is less than 0. This means that Group of answer choices ΔSsurr is

less than 0 and its magnitude is less than ΔSsys. ΔSsurr is less than 0 and its magnitude is greater than ΔSsys. ΔSsurr is greater than 0 and its magnitude is less than ΔSsys. ΔSsurr is greater than 0 and its magnitude is greater than ΔSsys. an error has been made, as Ssys is greater than 0 by necessity for a spontaneous process.

Answer:

The correct option is: ΔSsurr is greater than 0 and its magnitude is greater than ΔSsys.  

Explanation:

For a <u>chemical reaction to be spontaneous, the change in the</u> <u>Gibbs free energy should be negative (ΔG = -ve).</u>

At constant temperature (T) and pressure, the Gibbs free energy is given by the equation: \Delta G_{system} = \Delta H_{system} - T\Delta S_{system}

Here, \Delta H_{system} is the enthalpy change and \Delta S_{system} is the entropy change of the system.

Also, <u>according to the second law of thermodynamics</u>, <u>for a spontaneous process, the total entropy</u>, \Delta S_{universe} = \Delta S_{system} + \Delta S_{surrounding} > 0

Therefore, <u>for a reaction to be spontaneous</u>, if \Delta S_{system} is less than 0 or negative; then <u>\Delta S_{surrounding} should be greater than 0 or positive. </u>Also, \Delta S_{surrounding} > \Delta S_{system}.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

9.15 atm

Explanation:

Ideal gas equation of state PV=nRT

P in hPa, V in L, n in mol, R is a constant which is 83.1 hpa*L/mol*k, T in kelvin.

Plug in all the number, and we will get:

P*6.21=2.02*83.1*343

P =9271.6(in hpa)=9.15 atm

What is the advantage of rusting​
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Provide more strength

Explanation:

Rust is metal that has been oxidised . Oxides are usually more fragile and porous than their crystals metal equivalents. Some oxides, such as Aluminum oxide, are useful because they have a thin, strong shell that protects the metal from further corrosion.

How to work out the rate of reaction in Chemistry
Arlecino [84]
One way you can work out the rate of reaction is by the amount of product that is produced to time. This can also be done with heat and time.

Hope this helps! :)
