We are asked to convert 25 cg to units of hg.
1 cg = 1 centigram = 10⁻² g
1 hg = 1 hectogram = 10² g
The options given are:
a) 1 hg/ 10² g
b) 10² cg/ 1 hg
c) 10² hg/ 1 cg
d) 10⁻² g/ 1 cg
To convert 25 cg to 1 hg, we could convert the 25 cg to grams first, then grams to hg.
25 cg · 10⁻² g/ 1cg = 0.25 g
Here we have converted our number from cg to grams. We can use another conversion of grams to hg to complete the conversion.
0.25 g · 1 hg/ 10² g = 0.0025 hg
Therefore, the first conversion we used was d) 10⁻² g/ 1 cg.
B. Heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.
<h3>
What is entropy?</h3>
Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderliness of a system.
Entropy is also the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.
S = ΔH/T
where;
- S is entropy
- ΔH is energy input
- T is temperature
Entropy increases in reactions in which the total number of product molecules is greater than the total number of reactant molecules.
However, entropy increases as temperature increases. Thus, heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.
