Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy means the degree of randomness present within the molecules of an object.

When a substance is present in a solid state then its molecules are held together because of strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

As a result, molecules are not able to move freely and therefore, there will be no randomness.

But when a substance changes into liquid state then its molecules mover further apart from each other due to gain in kinetic energy. Hence, randomness increases.

On the other hand, when a substance moves from liquid to gaseous state then its molecules gain more kinetic energy due to which there will be high degree of randomness.

Therefore, as the products in the given reaction are present in liquid and gaseous state. So, this means that there has been an increase in entropy.

A decrease in entropy is represented by negative sign and an increase in entropy is represented by a positive sign.

Thus, we can conclude that the sign of $\Delta S_{o}$ for the given reaction is $\Delta S_{o}$ > 0.

A 50.0 g sample of liquid water at 25.0 degree C is mixed with 29.0 g of water at 45 degree C. The final temperature of the wate

kotegsom [21]

Answer: The final temperature of water is 32.3°C

Explanation:

When two solutions are mixed, the amount of heat released by solution 1 (liquid water) will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by solution 2 (liquid water)

$Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}$

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of solution 1 (liquid water) = 50.0 g

$m_2$ = mass of solution 2 (liquid water) = 29.0 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of solution 1 = 25°C = [273 + 25] = 298 K

$T_2$ = initial temperature of solution 2 = 45°C = [273 + 45] = 318 K

c = specific heat of water= 4.18 J/g.K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$50.0\times 4.18\times (T_{final}-298)=-[29.0\times 4.18\times (T_{final}-318)]\\\\T_{final}=305.3K$

Converting this into degree Celsius, we use the conversion factor:

$T(K)=T(^oC)+273$

$305.3=T(^oC)+273\\T(^oC)=(305.3-273)=32.3^oC$

Hence, the final temperature of water is 32.3°C

How many grams of FeCl 3 are in 250. mL of a 0.100 M solution?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B

Explanation:

$$Molarity=\frac{Weight}{Molecular \,weight} \frac{1000}{V(in \, ml)}$

Given values,

Molarity of $FeCl_3=0.100M$

Volume of solution, $V=250ml$

Molecular weight of $FeCl_3=162.2$

Substituting this values in Molarity formula, we get

$0.1=\frac{weight}{162.2} \times\frac{1000}{250} $\\$\Rightarrow 16.22=weight\times4$\\$\Rightarrow weight=\frac{16.22}{4} $\\$\therefore weight=4.06g$

Please answer both questions.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

1)Krypton

2)11H

Explanation:

electrons=protons

protons=atomic number

mass number=protons+neutrons

mass number is the superscript

atomic number is the subscript.

1)The answer is Krypton because its atomic number= number of protons=number of electrons is 36.

mass number is 46+36=82.

2)subscript=atomic number=number of protons=number of electrons

i. H = electrons=1

=neutrons=0

ii. Cl=electrons=17

=neutrons=35-17=18

iii. Na=electrons=11

=neutrons=23-11= 12

so the answer is Hydrogen because it has 1 electron and 0 neutron.

I hope this helps.

An element with a mass number of 11 and an atomic number of 5 has how many neutrons?

Goryan [66]

Answer:

6 neutrons

Explanation:

6 neutrons

Boron having an atomic number of 5 means that it will have 5 protons. 11 atomic mass units in total. Neutrons also have a atomic mass unit of 1. So there are 6 neutrons
