A plant converts sunlight into stored energy is a physical or chemical change

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a. A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) that is, the energy available to do work, of a system for a constant-temperature process is:

$ΔG = ΔH - TΔS$

When ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.

When ΔG > 0 the reaction is nonspontaneous. The reaction is

spontaneous in the opposite direction.

When ΔG = 0 the system is at equilibrium.

If both ΔH and ΔS are positive, then ΔG will be negative only when the TΔS term is greater in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is large.

Which source of water pollution would be the hardest to trace and control?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Nonpoint pollution is harder to control

Explanation:

Nonpoint pollution is harder to control because they include runoff from farms, golf courses, construction sites, roads. Whereas the single origin of the pollution is harder to trace.

Determine how many gmol, kmol, and lbmols there are in 50 kilograms of n-hexane.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer: 581 gmol

0.581 kmol

$1.28\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{50\times 1000g}{86g/mol}=581mol$

1. The conversion for mol to gmol

1 mol = 1 gmol

581 mol= $\frac{1}{1}\times 581=581gmol$

2. The conversion for mol to kmol

1 mol = 0.001 kmol

581 mol= $\frac{0.001}{1}\times 581=0.581kmol$

3. The conversion for mol to lbmol

1 mol = $2.2\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

581 mol= $\frac{2.2\times 10^{-3}}{1}\times 581=1.28\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

A scientist develops a new experiment to test atomic theory. His results do not agree with the theory.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

When the results of a new experiment to test atomic theory do not agree with the theory, scientist will repeat the experiment to make sure that his results are reliable.

Explanation:

In the scientific context, each new experiment must be performed with precision and following the steps of the scientific method.

An experiment that does not provide reliable data to demonstrate a theory must be reviewed in detail and performed again to confirm the data obtained in the first attempt.

A theory is a postulate that tries to explain a natural phenomenon, but whose argument can be discussed or does not have the acceptance of a law. When the theory is proven and there are no arguments against it, it can be universally accepted and becomes a law.

The other options are not valid due to:

Scientists worldwide will reject atomic theory because of the new results. A theory cannot be discarded without solid arguments or evidence in order to dismiss it and establish a new one.
The scientist will change his results to agree with the accepted theory. This would be an unethical procedure and unacceptable to the scientific community.
Other scientists will reject the results because they do not agree with the theory. The opinion of other scientists is not enough to dismiss a theory, if it has a valid scientific basis.
