What is density measured in... for example if i had 68 what would be the suffix for that

Airida [17]

It depends.

If the volume is mL and the mass is g, then the "suffix" would be g/mL.

If the volume is cm3 and the mass is g, then the "suffix" would be g/cm3.

What is true of all atoms?

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Atoms are the building blocks of matter. They are the smallest particles of an element that still have the element's properties. All atoms are very small, but atoms of different elements vary in size. Three main types of particles that make up all atoms are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Which energy transformation is represented in the diagram?

Paha777 [63]

A nuclear to thermal and radiant

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the disintegration of the force that holds the nucleus of the atom together, creating two different but lighter nuclei.

In nuclear fission, it seeks to break the force of attraction or nuclear force that joins the protons and neutrons that form the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons without electric charge are used against the nucleus of the atom to produce enough excitation energy to deform the nucleus into two halves.

Consider the reaction 2CO(g) + O2(g)2CO2(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surr

Marizza181 [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of CO is reacted is 432.52 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

Entropy change is defined as the difference in entropy of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate entropy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2CO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$

The equation for the entropy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta S^o_{(CO_2(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta S^o_{(O_2(g))})+(2\times \Delta S^o_{(CO(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta S^o_{(CO_2(g))}=213.74J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(O_2)}=205.14J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(CO)}=197.674J/K.mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (213.74))]-[(1\times (205.14))+(2\times (197.674))]\\\\\Delta S^o_{rxn}=-173.008J/K$

Entropy change of the surrounding = - (Entropy change of the system) = -(-173.008) J/K = 173.008 J/K

We are given:

Moles of CO gas reacted = 2.25 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 2 moles of CO is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be 173.008 J/K

So, when 2.25 moles of CO is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be = $\frac{173.008}{1}\times 2.25=432.52J/K$

Hence, the value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of CO is reacted is 432.52 J/K
