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}.

Answer: There are many strategies used to hunt and kill moths. I’ll tell you my way of hunting and killing moths.

Step-By-Step Explanation:
Morning and Afternoon: First, get a sticky trap. You can get it at Target or Walmart. Cover it with moth pheromones or anything you know that can attract the moths. The sticky trap, will stick them to the trap and will eventually die after no being able to escape for a long time.
Nighttime: Buy or Get a lamp and turn it on. This will attract lots of moths and it will help you see them. Then, spray insecticide or insect repellent at the. Lastly, they should die.
Tip: If things get too out of hand with a huge swarm of moths, then call pest control and they will surely get rid of them for you!
