For which of the following processes will \DeltaΔS be negative?PbCl2(s) = Pb2+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq)MgO(s) + CO2(g) = MgCO3(s)CO2(aq)

= CO2(g)C5H12(l) + 8 O2(g) = 5 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g)

Answer

a) PbCl_2(s)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq): \Delta S = +ve

b) MgO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow MgCO_3(s): \Delta S = -ve

c) CO_2(aq)\rightarrow CO_2(g): \Delta S= +ve

d)  C_5H_{12}(l)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 5CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g): \Delta S = +ve

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

a) PbCl_2(s)\rightarrow Pb^(2+)(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)

As solid is moving to ions form , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

b)MgO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow MgCO_3(s)

As gaseous reactants are converted to solid products , randomness decreases and thus sign of \Delta S  is negative.

c) CO_2(aq)\rightarrow CO_2(g)

As liquid is changing to gas  randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

d) C_5H_{12}(l)+8O_2(g)rightarrow 5CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

As 8 moles of gaseous reactants are converted to 11 moles of gaseous products , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

Why don't noble gasses want to react with anyone?
Zepler [3.9K]
They have a full valence shell (8 electrons in the outer shell) so they are the most stable elements on the periodic table. Therefore, they do not need to react to other elements to gain or lose elections to become stable.

A machine shop worker records the mass of an aluminum cube as 176 g. If one side of the cube measures 4 cm, what is the density
forsale [732]

Answer:

Explanation:

So we take the given quotient:

ρ=176⋅g4⋅cm×4⋅cm×4⋅cm = 176⋅g64⋅cm3 = ??g⋅cm−3.
