Answer:

Lowering the temperature typically reduces the significance of the decrease in entropy. That makes the Gibbs Free energy of the reaction more negative. As a result, the reaction becomes more favorable overall.  

Explanation:

In an addition reaction there's a decrease in the number of particles. Consider the hydrogenation of ethene as an example.

\rm H_2C\text{=}CH_2\; (g) + H_2\; (g) \stackrel{\text{Ni}^\ast}{\to} H_3C\text{-}CH_3\; (g).

When \rm H_2 is added to \rm H_2C\text{=}CH_2 (ethene) under heat and with the presence of a catalyst, \rm H_3C\text{-}CH3 (ethane) would be produced.

Note that on the left-hand side of the equation, there are two gaseous molecules. However, on the right-hand side there's only one gaseous molecule. That's a significant decrease in entropy. In other words, \Delta S < 0.

The equation for the change in Gibbs Free Energy for a particular reaction is:

\Delta G = \Delta H + (\underbrace{- T \, \Delta S}_{\text{entropy}\atop \text{term}}).

For a particular reaction, the more negative \Delta G is, the more spontaneous ("favorable") the reaction would be.

Since typically \Delta S < 0 for addition reactions, the "entropy term" of it would be positive. That's not very helpful if the reaction needs to be favorable.

T (absolute temperature) is always nonnegative. However, lowering the temperature could help bring the value of

Find the volume of 20g of H₂ at STP<br><br>​
ANEK [815]

Answer:224

Explanation:

We should answer it with Stoichiometry

We say: 20 g H2× (1 mol/ 2g)× ( 22.4 lit/ 1 mol) = 224

Means: we have 20 grams and every 2g H2, equals to 1 mol of it and every 1 mol of H2, equals to 22.4 lit( because of STP)

hope you got this:)

According to the kinetic molecular theory particles of matter
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
