<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.

You decide to clean the bathroom. You notice that the shower is covered in a strange green slime . you try to get rid of this sl
Free_Kalibri [48]
  1. The independent variable (IV) is the lemon juice mixture
  2. The dependent variable (DV) is the appearance of the green slime on the shower
  3. The control variable (CV) are time taken to spray, the amount of spray
  4. The experimental group (EG) is the side of the shower sprayed with lemon juice mixture
  5. The control group (CG) is the side of the shower sprayed with water.

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

  • Independent variable is the variable of an experiment that is changed by the experimenter in order to bring about a change. It is the variable being tested in the experiment. In this case, the IV is the lemon juice mixture tested on the green slime on the shower.

DEPENDENT VARIABLE:

  • Dependent variable is the variable that is observed or measured in an experiment. It is also called responding variable. The DV in this case is the appearance of the green slime on the shower.

CONTROL VARIABLE:

  • Control variable is the variable that is kept constant throughout the experiment for all groups. The CV is the same for all the groups and they include: time taken to spray, the same amount of spray

CONTROL GROUP

  • Control group is the group that does not receive the independent variable or test in an experiment. In this case, the CG is the side of the shower sprayed with water.

EXPERIMENTAL GROUP:

  • Experimental group is the group of ab experiment that receives the experimental treatment or independent variable. In this case, the EG is the side of the shower sprayed with lemon juice mixture.

Therefore, the IV, DV, CV, EG and CG of this experiment are as follows:

  1. The independent variable (IV) is the lemon juice mixture
  2. The dependent variable (DV) is the appearance of the green slime on the shower
  3. The control variable (CV) are time taken to spray, the amount of spray
  4. The experimental group (EG) is the side of the shower sprayed with lemon juice mixture
  5. The control group (CG) is the side of the shower sprayed with water.

Cracking the periodic table code why aren't the elements listed in alphabetical order answer key
finlep [7]

The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.


For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.


You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.


You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.


So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.

A circle has a radius of 5 feet and a central angle AOB that measures 10°. What is the length of the intercepted arc AB? Use 3.1
algol [13]
We are asked to solve for the arc length of the intercepted arc and the formula is shown below:
Arc length = 2*pi*r(central angle/360°)
r = 5 feet
central angle = 10°

Solving for the arc length, we have:
Arc length = 2*3.14*5 (10/360)
Arc length = 0.872 feet

The arc length is 0.872 feet.

The model on the right looks bumpy, but when you break a large salt crystal in two, the edges of the split often look straight a
emmasim [6.3K]

There is no problem with the model formed by atoms as solid spheres for macroscopic measurements because the atoms are extremely small.

<h3>What is Dalton's atomic model?</h3>

This was formulated in 1808 and states that atoms with spheres cannot be divided. It also states that solids are formed by contact between the spheres and chemical compounds from joining of atoms of two or more elements.

The size of the atoms in the form of sphere is very small as it is known that it is of the order of 10⁻⁹ m, therefore, having a macroscopic crystal more than 10⁻⁶ m in length which is why the model of the atom as solid spheres for macroscopic measurements has no problem.
