Answer : The correct option is, (2) gas to liquid

Explanation :

Entropy : It is defined as the measurement of randomness or disorderedness in a system.

The order of entropy will be,

As we are moving from solid state to liquid state to gaseous state, the entropy will be increases due to the increase in the disorderedness.

As we are moving from gaseous state to liquid state to solid state, the entropy will be decreases due to the decrease in the disorderedness.

In option 1, 3 and 4, the entropy increases. while in option 2, the entropy decreases.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) gas to liquid

Which of the following is an oxidation-reduction reaction? a. HCl(aq) + LiOH(aq) → LiCl(aq) + H2O(l) b. Pb(C2H3O2)2(aq) + 2 NaCl

saw5 [17]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A reaction in which there occurs change in oxidation state of reacting species is known as an oxidation-reduction reaction.

(a) $HCl(aq) + LiOH(aq) \rightarrow LiCl(aq) + H_{2}O(l)$

Will be written as:

$H^{+} + Cl^{-} + Li^{+} + OH^{-} \rightarrow Li^{+} + Cl^{-} + H^{+} + OH^{-}$

In this reaction, there occurs no change in oxidation state of reacting species. Hence, it is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

(b) $Pb(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) \rightarrow PbCl_{2}(s) + 2 NaC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}(aq)$

Will be written as:

$Pb^{2+} + 2C_{2}H_{3}OO^{-} + 2Na^{+} + 2Cl^{-} \rightarrow Pb^{2+} + 2Cl^{-} + 2Na^{+} + 2C2H3OO^{-}$

Similarly here, there occurs no change in oxidation state of reacting species. Hence, it is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Will be written as:

$Na^{+} + I^{-} + Ag^{2+} + NO^{2-}_{3} \rightarrow AgI(s) + Na^{+} + NO^{2-}_{3}(aq)$

Here, also there occurs no change in oxidation state of reacting species. Hence, it is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

(d) $Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) \rightarrow MgCl_{2}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

So, here there occurs change in oxidation state of Mg from 0 to +2 and oxidation state of H changes from +1 to 0. Hence, it is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that $Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) \rightarrow MgCl_{2}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$ is an oxidation-reduction reaction.
