Answer:

  • <em>spontaneous in the reverse direction at all temperatures</em>

Explanation:

The parameter to predict the spontaneity of a reduction is the change in the free energy, ΔG.

This is how it works:

  • If ΔG = 0, the system is in equilibrium
  • If ΔG > 0, the reaction is non-spontaneous.
  • If ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.

In brief, free energy's decrease tells that a reaction is spontaneous, while free energy's increase tells a reaction is nonspontaneous.

Now, take the definition of the free energy:

  • G = H - TS
  • ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

The conditions given in the statement are:

  • <em>An endothermic reaction</em> ⇒ ΔH > 0 (positive)
  • <em>A negative entropy change</em> ⇒ ΔS < 0 ⇒ TΔS < 0 (negative)

Replacing in the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, you get:

  • ΔG = positive - (negative) = positive + positive = positive.

Then, you conclude that <em>for an endothermic reaction with a negative entropy change, </em>the change in the free energy is positive, and so the reaction is nonspontaneous (at all temperatures) in the forward direction.

Since, the change in the reverse direction has opposite sign, you also conclude that <em><u>the reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction at all temperatures.</u></em>

Which of these is an indication that a chemical reaction has occurred?
Kobotan [32]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct option is C.
  • Formation of a precipitate

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

During a chemical reaction, new substances are formed known as a products, mostly reaction occur and their product is obtained as precipitates.

<u><em>Example</em></u>

Arylidene-2-thiobarbituric acid is obtained as precipitates when aldehyde and thiobarbituric acid react to each other.

melting of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like melting of ice, composition remained same as before.

boiling of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like boiling of water into vapors, composition remained same as before.

freezing of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like freezing of water into ice, composition remained same as before

Human blood typically contains 1.04 kg/L of platelets. A 1.89 pints of blood would contain what mass (in grams) of platelets
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is 930 grams platelets.

Explanation:

The volume of blood given is 1.89 pints. Total number of gallons in 1.89 pints is,  

= 1.89/8 = 0.236 gallon

1 gallon comprise = 3.785 L

So, 0.236 gallon comprise = 0.236 * 3.785 L = 0.89 L

As mentioned that 1 Liter of blood comprise 1.04 kilograms of platelets. Therefore, 0.89 L of blood will contain = 1.04 * 0.89 = 0.93 Kg platelets

1 Kg contain 1000 grams. So, number of platelets in grams will be,  

= 1000 * 0.93 = 930 grams platelets.

Use the molar bond enthalpy data in the table to estimate the value of Δ∘rxn
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol

Explanation:

  • CH4(g) + 4Cl2(g) → CCl4(g) + 4HCl(g)

⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4ΔH°HCl(g) + ΔH°CCl4(g) - 4ΔH°Cl2(g) - ΔH°CH4(g)

∴ ΔH°Cl2(g) = 0 KJ/mol.....pure element in its reference state

∴ ΔH°CCl4(g) = - 138.7 KJ/mol

∴ ΔH°HCl(g) = - 92.3 KJ/mol

∴ ΔH°CH4(g) = - 74.8 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4(- 92.3 KJ/mol) + (- 138.7 KJ/mol) - 4(0 KJ/mol) - (- 74.8 KJ/mol)

⇒  ΔH°rxn = - 369.2 KJ/mol - 138.7 KJ/mol - 0 KJ/mol + 74.8 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol
