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}.

Glucose and hexanoic acid each contain six carbon atoms, but they have completely different properties. Glucose is a nutrient fo
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Functional groups.

Explanation:

Functional groups are the specific substituents present within the molecules which are responsible for characteristic chemical properties the molecule shows.

Glucose contains alcohol and aldehyde group while hexanoic acid contains carboxylic acid group. <u>The presence different types of the functional groups in both the compounds results in the difference in the properties of both the compounds.</u>

How many significant figures are in 136,000 ml?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

There are 3 sig figs

Explanation:

Sig figs are the amount of figures counting from the left side of the number until you reach the first zero. Starting from the left, I counted one, three, and six. That's 3 numbers, and therefore, that's how we got our answer. The only exception is when there is a decimal. Then all the numbers before the decimal, despite whether or not they're zeros, are sig figs.
