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.

what conclusions can be made about the relationship between metallic character and the atomic radius?

kolezko [41]

We have to get the relationship between metallic character and atomic radius.

Metallic character increases with increase in atomic radius and decrease with decrease of atomic radius.

If electrons from outermost shell of an element can be removed easily, that atom can be considered to have more metallic character.

With increase in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electron decreases which facilitates the release of electron.

With decrease in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electrons increases, so electrons are hold tightly to nucleus. Hence, removal of electron from outermost shell becomes difficult making the atom less metallic in nature.

4) What volume will the gas in the balloon at right occupy at 250k?<br><br> balloon: 4.3L 350K

swat32

Answer:

2.87 liter.

Explanation:

Given:

Initially volume of balloon = 4.3 liter

Initially temperature of balloon = 350 K

Question asked:

What volume will the gas in the balloon occupy at 250 K ?

Solution:

By using:

$Pv =nRT$

Assuming pressure as constant,

V∝ T

Now, let K is the constant.

V = KT

Let initial volume of balloon , $V_{1}$ = 4.3 liter

1000 liter = 1 meter cube

1 liter = $\frac{1}{1000} m^{3} = 10^{-3} m^{3$

4.3 liter = $4.3\times10^{-3}=4.3\times10^{-3} m^{3}$

And initial temperature of balloon, $T_{1}$ = 350 K

Let the final volume of balloon is $V_{2}$

And as given, final temperature of balloon, $T_{2}$ is 250 K

Now, $V_{1} = KT_{1}$

$4.3\times10^{-3}=K\times350\ (equation\ 1 )$

$V_{2} = KT_{2}$

$=K\times250\ (equation 2)$

Dividing equation 1 and 2,

$\frac{4.3\times10^{-3}}{V_{2} } =\frac{K\times350}{K\times250}$

K cancelled by K.

By cross multiplication:

$350V_{2} =4.3\times10^{-3} \times250\\V_{2} =\frac{ 4.3\times10^{-3} \times250\\}{350} \\ = \frac{1075\times10^{-3}}{350} \\ =2.87\times10^{-3}m^{3}$

Now, convert it into liter with the help of calculation done above,

$2.87\times10^{-3} \times1000\\2.87\times10^{-3} \times10^{3} \\2.87\ liter$

Therefore, volume of the gas in the balloon at 250 K will be 2.87 liter.

What is the pH of an aqueous solution with [H3O+] = 6×10−12 M ?

hram777 [196]

Answer: pH = 10.92

Explanation:

To determine the pH of an aqueous solution, we use the following mathematical relation; pH = - log [H3O+]

= - log (6 x 10∧ -12)

= 12 - 1.08

pH = 10.92
