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.

When solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed, silver chloride precipitates out of the solution according to th

kipiarov [429]

The concentration of the sodium chloride would be 0.082 M

<h3>Stoichiometric calculations</h3>

From the equation of the reaction, the ratio of AgCl produced to NaCl required is 1:1.

Mole of 46.6 g AgCl produced = 46.6/143.32 = 0.325 moles

Equivalent mole of NaCl = 0.325 moles.

Molarity of 0.325 moles, 3.95 L NaCl = mole/volume = 0.325/3.95 = 0.082 M

Hello,

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$a)\ 2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3\\b)\ Decomposition\ Reaction$

Explanation:

Ferrous Sulphate $(FeSO4)$ is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide $(SO_3)$ , Sulphur Dioxide $(SO_2)$ as well as Ferric Oxide $(Fe_2O_3)$ .

We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.

Hence,

$FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

Now,

a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of steps:

1. First, lets compare the number of Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside $FeSO_4$ .

2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:

Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :

$2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds decompose into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate decomposes into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is Decomposition Reaction.

Use dimensional analysis to convert 14.5mi/hr to km/s

Liula [17]

Answer:

0.006 48 km/s

Explanation:

1. Convert miles to kilometres

14.5 mi × (1.609 km/1 mi) = 23.33 km

2. Convert hours to seconds

1 h × (60 min/1h) × (60 s/1 min) = 3600 s

3. Divide the distance by the time

14.5 mi/1 h = 23.3 km/3600 s = 0.006 48 km/s
