Answer:

A. Diamond

Explanation:

Entropy is an important physical quantity used in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics to measure the degree of disorder of a system. We say that the greater the entropy variation of a system, the greater its clutter, the less energy will be available for use. Entropy is related to the spontaneity of some physical or chemical process. Whenever such a process happens spontaneously, the entropy of the system will increase, ie the system will be less organized or more random.

If we compare three systems with entropy: the first with something in the liquid state, the second with something in the solid state, and the third with something in the form of vapor, we will conclude that the entropy of the third system will be greater than the others, due to the greater agitation of the molecules. Already the second system, with something in the solid state will be the system with less entropy because in this case the spacing between the molecules of this "something" is smaller and consequently the agitation of them. For this reason, as diamond is something in solid state, we can say that with the exposed options, diamond is the alternative with less entropy.

27. The density of nickel is 8.91 g/cm3. How large a cube, in cm3, would contain 2.00 x 10^24 atoms of nickel? Use dimensional a

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer : The volume of the cube is, $21.88cm^3$

Solution : Given,

Density of nickel = $8.91g/cm^3$

Number of nickel atoms = $2\times 10^{24}$

Molar mass of nickel = 58.7 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of nickel.

As, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms form 1 mole of nickel

So, $2\times 10^{24}$ atoms form $\frac{2\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=3.321$ moles of nickel

The moles of nickel = 3.321 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of nickel.

$\text{ Mass of Ni}=\text{ Moles of Ni}\times \text{ Molar mass of Ni}$

$\text{ Mass of Ni}=(3.321moles)\times (58.7g/mole)=194.94g$

The mass of nickel = 194.94 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of nickel.

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$8.91g/cm^3=\frac{194.94g}{Volume}$

$Volume=21.88cm^3$

Therefore, the volume of the cube is, $21.88cm^3$

If chemical bonds didn’t

hram777 [196]

All of the above answers are true right answer is option D

because, no bond no molecule no interaction no life,

no bond= only element will exist

Energy would not exist coz energy consumption and excretion takes place during bond formation and bond breaking process!

The percent yield of the calcium hydroxide is 84.5%.

<h3>What is stoichiometry?</h3>

Stoichiometry enables us to obtain the mass of a substance form the equation of the reaction.

The equation of the reaction is;

CaCO3 + 2HCl -----> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O

Number of moles of X = 40.0 grams/100 g/mol = 0.4 moles

Number of moles of HCl = 850/1000 * 1 M = 0.85 moles

If 1 mole of CaCO3 reacts with 2 moles of HCl

0.4 moles of CaCO3 reacts with 0.4 moles * 2 moles/1 mole

= 0.8 moles of HCl

Hence X is the limiting reactant.

The reaction is 1:1 then the amount of CO2 produced is 0.4 moles

Mass of CO2 = 0.4 CO2 * 44 g/mol = 17.6 g

2) The reaction equation is; 2NaOH + CaCO3 ---> Ca(OH)2 + Na2CO3

Number of moles of X = 25.0 grams/100 g/mol = 0.25 moles

Number of moles of NaOH= 40/1000 L * 2 M = 0.08 moles

If 1 mole of X reacts with 2 moles of NaOH

0.25 moles reacts with 0.25 moles * 2 moles /1 mole

= 0.5 moles

NaOH is the limiting reactant

2 moles of NaOH produces 1 mole of CO2

0.08 moles of NaOH produces 0.08 moles * 1 mole/2 moles

= 0.04 moles of CO2

Theoretical yield of CO2 = 0.04 moles of CO2 * 74 g/mol = 2.96 g

Percent yield = 2.5 g/ 2.96 g * 100

= 84.5%

The weak acid HZ has a Ka of 2.55x10⁻⁴.(a) Calculate the pH of 0.075 M HZ.

Dima020 [189]

<u>2.37</u> is the pH of 0.075 M HZ.

The term pH, which originally stood for "potential of hydrogen" (or "power of hydrogen"), is used in chemistry to describe how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is. Lower pH values are summarized for acidic solutions (solutions with higher H+ ion concentrations) than for basic or alkaline solutions.

The pH scale is inversely indicates to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and is logarithmic.

⇒pH = -log( $a_{H+}$ )

Acidic solutions are those with a pH below 7, and basic solutions are those with a pH above 7, at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F). At this temperature, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral (e.g. pure water). The pH neutrality relies on temperature, falling below 7 if the temperature rises above 25 °C.
