Which of the following is not a physical change?

1 answer:

6 0

When you burn paper you are chemically altering it so that is the correct answer. When you do all the other choices all of the components stay the same. Just because it changes shapes doesn't mean it'll change chemically toom

A student wants to measure the entropy of ice. What should the student do?

Helen [10]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness. This means that more is the number of collisions taking place between atoms of a substance more will be the randomness.

Therefore, more will be the entropy of substance. We cannot measure the entropy but we can measure the change in entropy of a substance.

A thermometer is a glass tube that contains a liquid column generally mercury, and it is usually used to measure the temperature of human body.

A calorimeter is a device or apparatus that is used in a chemical reaction to measure the amount of heat involved.

Therefore, we can conclude that the student can't measure entropy directly, only an entropy change.

Q3. Which of the following objects are chiral and which are achiral? a

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In this question, we have to follow the IUPAC rules. Lets analyze each compound:

a. 1-methylbutane

In this compound we have a chain of 5 carbons, so the correct name is Pentane.

b. 1,1,3-trimethylhexane

In this compound, we longest chain is made of 7 carbons, so, we have to use the name "heptane". Carbon one would be the closet one to the methyl group, so the correct name is 2,4-dimethylheptane.

c. 5-octyne

In this case, carbon 1 would be the closet one to the triplet bond. With this in mind, the correct name is oct-3-yne.

d. 2-ethyl-1-propanol

In this compound, we longest chain is made of 4 carbons, so, we have to use the name "butane". Carbon one would be the carbon with the "OH" group, so the correct name is 2-methylbutan-1-ol.

e. 2.2-dimethyl-3-butanol

In this case, carbon 1 would be the closet one to the "OH". With this in mind, the correct name is 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol.

I hope it helps!
