Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness. This means that more is the number of collisions taking place between atoms of a substance more will be the randomness.

Therefore, more will be the entropy of substance. We cannot measure the entropy but we can measure the change in entropy of a substance.

A thermometer is a glass tube that contains a liquid column generally mercury, and it is usually used to measure the temperature of human body.

A calorimeter is a device or apparatus that is used in a chemical reaction to measure the amount of heat involved.

Therefore, we can conclude that the student can't measure entropy directly, only an entropy change.

Calculate the cell potential at 25oC under the following nonstandard conditions: 2MnO4-(aq) + 3Cu(s) + 8H+(aq) ⟶ 2MnO2(s) + 3Cu2
baherus [9]

Answer:

1.346 v

Explanation:

1) Fist of all we need to calculate the standard cell potential, one should look up the reduction potentials for the species envolved:

(oxidation) Cu_{(s)} →Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} +2e E°=0.337 v

(reduction) MnO_{4 (aq)} + 3e + 4H^{+}_{(aq)}→MnO_{2 (aq)}+2H_{2}O E°=1.679 v

(overall) 2MnO_{4 (aq)}+3Cu_{(s)}+8H^{+}_{(aq)}→3Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}+2MnO_{2 (aq)}+4H_{2}O E°=1.342 v

2) Nernst Equation

Knowing the standard potential, one calculates the nonstandard potential using the Nernst Equation:

E=E^{0} -\frac{RT}{nF}Ln\frac{[red]}{[ox]}

Where 'R' is the molar gas constant, 'T' is the kelvin temperature, 'n' is the number of electrons involved in the reaction and 'F' is the faraday constant.

The problem gives the [red]=0.66M and [ox]=1.69M, just apply to the Nernst Equation to give

E=1.342 -\frac{298.15*8.314}{6*96500}Ln\frac{[.66]}{[1.69]}=1.346

E=1.346

La etiqueta de una bebida transparente con un ligero toque anaranjado indica que contiene aga con un 15 porciento de zumo de nar
Brilliant_brown [7]

<u>Respuesta:</u>

16 gramos de vitamina C y 8 gramos de colorantes.

Explanation:

Debemos multiplicar el porcentaje de cada componente por la cantidad total (100 %) de zumo.

800 g de zumo = 100%

- Tenemos un 2 porciento (2 en 100 o 2/100) de vitamina C. Por lo tanto, la cantidad en gramos de vitamina C es:

2/100 x 800 g = 16 g

- Tenemos un 1 porciento de colorantes en el zumo (1/100). Por lo tanto, la cantidad en gramos de colorantes es:

1/100 x 800 g = 8 g

What would happen if the oceanic plates stoped moving
Ket [755]

Answer:

But without plate tectonics, Earth will simply stop making new ones. The mountains we have now would erode over a few million years, turning into low, rolling hills. Our planet would eventually flatten out, with more land ending up underwater. On the bright side, there'd be fewer natural disasters.

Explanation:

that is what would happen
