For a particular reaction, Δ=−111.4 kJ and Δ=−25.0 J/K.
vichka [17]

Answer:

\Delta G =-103.95kJ

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the thermodynamic definition of the Gibbs free energy for a change process is:

\Delta G =\Delta H-T\Delta S

It is possible to plug in the given H, T and S with consistent units, to obtain the correct G as shown below:

\Delta G =-111.4kJ-(298K)(-25.0\frac{J}{K}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} )\\\\\Delta G =-103.95kJ

Best regards!

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass % of C = 0.27/0.45*100 = 60%

mass % of H = 0.02/0.45*100 = 4.4%

mass % of O = 0.16/0.45*100 = 35.6%

Total = 60%+4.4%+ 35.6% = 100%

Cutting a piece of paper in half proves that solids have no definite shape.<br><br> True or False?
erma4kov [3.2K]
False. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Cutting a paper (solid) in half will alter the shape of the original solid and give it a new shape and volume instead. A solid will always have a definite shape. If not, it's not a solid.
