ΔG > 0 is always true for the freezing of water.

Explanation:

The freezing of water is only spontaneous when the temperature is fairly small. Over 273 K, the higher value of TΔS causes the sign of ΔG to be positive, and there is no freezing point.
The entropy decreases as water freezes. This does not infringe the Thermodynamics second law. The second law doesn't suggest entropy will never diminish anywhere.
Entropy will decline elsewhere, provided it increases by at least as much elsewhere.

Match the following family of elements to its group.

docker41 [41]

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we simply use the periodic table of elements which groups elements based on their atomic numbers.

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons it contains. The protons are the positively charged particles within an atom.

The vertical arrangement of elements on the periodic table is the group.
The horizontal arrangement of elements is the period.

Now;

Noble gases belongs to group 18

Alkali earth metals belongs to group 2

Halogens belongs to group 17

Alkali metals belongs to group 1

Transition metals belongs to group 3-12

In the reversible reaction: 2NO2 (g) ⇌ N2O4 (g) the formation of dinitrogen tetroxide releases heat and the formation of nitroge

xenn [34]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance causes in an equilibrium reaction will shift the equilibrium in a direction that will oppose the change.

For example, $2NO_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons N_{2}O_{4}(g)$

When we increase the temperature then the reaction will shift in a direction where there will be decrease in temperature.

This, means that the reaction will shift in the backward direction.

Thus, we can conclude that if the reaction is at equilibrium and the temperature increases, the equilibrium will shift so that there is more nitrogen dioxide.

In a molecule of calcium sulfide, calcium has two valence electron bonds, and a sulfur atom has six valence electrons. How many

mote1985 [20]

There are none

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

a molecule of calcium sulfide

two valence electron of Calcium(Ca)

six valence electrons of Sulfur(S)

Required

number of lone pairs of electrons

Solution

Lewis structure shows the form of bonds that occur in the valence electrons of an element or compound

Valence electrons are electrons used in a chemical bond

To achieve stability, the element S needs 2 more electrons which are obtained from 2 electrons from the Ca element,

A lone pair electron means refers to an unshared pair of electrons(not bonding to the other atoms)

This condition usually occurs in covalent bonds

As we know, the bond between Ca, which is a group 2 (metal) with Sulfur in group 16, is an ionic bond because it occurs between metal and non-metal ions, so there is no sharing of electrons, but there is a release of electrons from Ca ions to S ions to form an octet. , so all the valence electrons in S are paired

PLEASE HELP I GIVE BRAINLIEST

I would say that it's C. Seasonal temperatures have dipped over time, but I could easily be wrong, since it's my opinion. A weather condition is defined as the atmospheric conditions that 'comprise the state of the atmosphere in terms of temperature and wind and clouds and precipitation. But I believe it could just as easily be B. 150mm of rainfall is a normal average in the city.

A balloon is filled with 12 L of air at a pressure of 2 atm. What is the volume of the balloon if the pressure is changed to 3 a

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided temperature remains constant

P1V1= P2V2

P1 = 2atm, V1 = 12L ,

P2 = 3atm , V2 =

12 × 2 = V2 × 3

Divide both sides by 3

V2 = 24 ÷ 3

V2 = 8L
