Answer:

(a) ΔSº = 216.10 J/K

(b) ΔSº = - 56.4 J/K

(c) ΔSº = 273.8 J/K

Explanation:

We know the standard entropy change for a given reaction is given by the sum of the entropies of the products minus the entropies of reactants.

First we need to find in an appropiate reference table the standard  molar entropies entropies, and then do the calculations.

(a)        C2H5OH(l)          +        3 O2(g)         ⇒        2 CO2(g)     +    3 H2O(g)

Sº            159.9                          205.2                         213.8                  188.8

(J/Kmol)

ΔSº = [ 2(213.8) + 3(188.8) ]   - [ 159.9  + 3(205.) ]  J/K

ΔSº = 216.10 J/K

(b)         CS2(l)               +         3 O2(g)               ⇒      CO2(g)      +      2 SO2(g)

Sº          151.0                              205.2                         213.8                 248.2

(J/Kmol)

ΔSº  = [ 213.8 + 2(248.2) ] - [ 151.0 + 3(205.2) ] J/K = - 56.4 J/K

(c)        2 C6H6(l)           +        15 O2(g)                     12 CO2(g)     +     6 H2O(g)

Sº           173.3                           205.2                           213.8                    188.8

(J/Kmol)  

ΔSº  = [ 12(213.8) + 6(188.8) ] - [ 2(173.3) + 15( 205.2) ] = 273.8 J/K

Whenever possible we should always verify if our answer makes sense. Note that the signs for the entropy change agree with the change in mol gas. For example in reaction (b) we are going from 4  total mol gas reactants to 3, so the entropy change will be negative.

Note we need to multiply the entropies of each substance by  its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.

Describe the progress of the formation of an ionic bond in terms of electrons
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

Write a double replacement precipitation reaction A precipitate forms when aqueous solutions of nickel(II) chloride and silver(I
harkovskaia [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD

Precipitation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt is formed when two solutions are mixed containing soluble substances. The insoluble salt settles down at the bottom of the reaction mixture.

When nickel (II) chloride reacts with silver (I) nitrate, it leads to the formation of white precipitate of silver chloride and an aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate.

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

NiCl_2(aq.)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2AgCl(s)+Ni(NO_3)_2(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aqueous solution of nickel (II) chloride reacts with 2 moles of aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate to produce 2 moles of solid silver chloride and 1 moles of aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

If the relative activities of two metals are known which metal is more easily oxidized
Ksivusya [100]
Answer: The metal that has a greater reactivity is more easily oxidized.

Explanation:

Oxidation is when the elements lose electrons and increase their oxidation state.

The metals tend to react by losing electrons and form the corresponding cation.

For expample, sodium (an alkalyne metal) loses one elecron and form the cation Na¹⁺ , then this cation combine with an anion and form compounds like NaCl, NaOH. The same do the other alkalyne metals.

Magnesium (an alkalyne earth metal) loses two electrons and form the cation Mg²⁺, then it combines with some anions to form compounds, like MgSO₄, Mg(OH)₂.

So, the easier the metal gets oxidized the greater its reactivity.
