<h2>Entropy of the system decreases when methane gas and oxygen gas  combust to form carbon dioxide and water.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Salt crystals when dissolved in water the bond between the molecules of crystals are broken down increasing the movement between the atoms hence entropy is increased.
  • When air escapes from a hole in the balloon,the entropy increases as the air present inside the balloon occupies small volume as compared to outside.
  • Ice when melts at room temperature its entropy increases because the molecule in the ice are closely packed hence less movement between the molecules.
  • When water boils the kinetic energy increases or themovement between the atoms increases which increases the entropy.

Hence, the option (a), (b), (c), and (d) are not suitable to the statement                       that  "the entropy of the system decreases".

  • During combustion of methane gas there is release of carbon dioxide gas and water .Here, entropy decreases due to the formation of water which is due to overall decrease in the  kinetic energy of the system.

What does 3.5 degree of unsaturation tell you?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

It means the chemical entity is a radical

Explanation:

When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.

While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.

In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.

Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?

The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.

Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.

The first blank can be filled with the Heliocentric model, and the second blank can be filled with Copernicus.  

The heliocentric model known as heliocentrism was proposed by the Renaissance astronomer, mathematician, and the Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus resulting in the Copernican revolution.  

It is the astronomical model, in which the planets and the Earth revolve around the Sun positioned at the middle of the Solar system. Factually, the heliocentric model was in contrast to geocentrism, in which Earth is positioned at the center of the Solar system.

Answer:GASEOUS, LOWERING ,EMITTED AS HEAT, DOWN,DO NOT RELEASE,DECREASES,NEGATIVE.

Explanation: Filling the blanks gives

Lattice energy is associated with forming a crystalline lattice of alternating cations and anions from the _GASEOUS___________ ions.

Because the cations are positively charged and the anions are negatively charged, there is a LOWERING of potential- as described by Coulomb's law-when the ions come together to form a lattice energy.That energy is EMITTED AS HEAT when the lattice forms.

As the ionic radii increases as you move DOWN a group, ions cannot get as close to each other and therefore DO NOT RELEASE as much energy when the lattice forms. Thus the lattice energy DECREASES (becomes less) NEGATIVE  as the radius increases.

The above gives the  definition of Lattice  Energy and how it relates to atomic and ion charge.
