Answer:
A scientific question is basically a question that can lead to a hypothesis to help us figure out the observation in science. I hope this helps you
Answer:
Explanation:
The products of a chemical reaction have different properties than the reactant because they underwent a chemical change by definition of a chemical reaction. The products are new combinations atoms forming different molecules.
Answer:
A. The equilibrium constant is very large
Explanation:
The equilibrium constant value is the ratio of the concentrations of the products over the reactants. When a chemical reaction goes to completion, that means that all the reactant has turned into products. As the equilibrium constant defines, it is the ratio of the product to the reactant. So at the final stage of the chemical reaction, the equilibrium constant will be very large.
Answer:
(a) ΔSº = 216.10 J/K
(b) ΔSº = - 56.4 J/K
(c) ΔSº = 273.8 J/K
Explanation:
We know the standard entropy change for a given reaction is given by the sum of the entropies of the products minus the entropies of reactants.
First we need to find in an appropiate reference table the standard molar entropies entropies, and then do the calculations.
(a) C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) ⇒ 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g)
Sº 159.9 205.2 213.8 188.8
(J/Kmol)
ΔSº = [ 2(213.8) + 3(188.8) ] - [ 159.9 + 3(205.) ] J/K
ΔSº = 216.10 J/K
(b) CS2(l) + 3 O2(g) ⇒ CO2(g) + 2 SO2(g)
Sº 151.0 205.2 213.8 248.2
(J/Kmol)
ΔSº = [ 213.8 + 2(248.2) ] - [ 151.0 + 3(205.2) ] J/K = - 56.4 J/K
(c) 2 C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) 12 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g)
Sº 173.3 205.2 213.8 188.8
(J/Kmol)
ΔSº = [ 12(213.8) + 6(188.8) ] - [ 2(173.3) + 15( 205.2) ] = 273.8 J/K
Whenever possible we should always verify if our answer makes sense. Note that the signs for the entropy change agree with the change in mol gas. For example in reaction (b) we are going from 4 total mol gas reactants to 3, so the entropy change will be negative.
Note we need to multiply the entropies of each substance by its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.
