For which of the following will the entropy of the system increase?
snow_lady [41]

Answer :  The correct option is, (d) sublimation of dry ice.

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.

(a) Condensation of steam.

Condensation : It is a type of process in which the phase changes from gaseous state to liquid state at constant temperature.

In this process, phase changes from gaseous state to liquid state that means the degree of disorderedness decreases. So, the entropy will also decreases.

(b) Reaction of magnesium with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.

Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)

In this reaction, the randomness of reactant molecules are more (solid+gas) and as we move towards the formation of product the randomness become less (solid) that means the degree of disorderedness decreases. So, the entropy will also decreases.

(d) Reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia.

N_2(g)+H_2(g)\rightarrow NH_3(g)

In this reaction, the randomness of reactant molecules are more (2 moles of gas) and as we move towards the formation of product the randomness become less (1 mole of gas) that means the degree of disorderedness decreases. So, the entropy will also decreases.

(d) Sublimation of dry ice.

Sublimation : It is a type of process in which the phase changes from solid state to gaseous state without passing through the liquid state at constant temperature.

In this process, phase changes from solid state to gaseous state that means the degree of disorderedness increases. So, the entropy will also increases.

Is usually categorized to a specific area in the state known as a soil series
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Soil series as established by the National Cooperative Soil Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service are a level of classification in the USDA Soil Taxonomy classification system hierarchy. The actual object of classification is the so-called soil individual, or pedon.[1] Soil series consist of pedons that are grouped together because of their similar pedogenesis, soil chemistry, and physical properties. More specifically, each series consists of pedons having soil horizons that are similar in soil color, soil texture, soil structure, soil pH, consistence, mineral and chemical composition, and arrangement in the soil profile.[2] These result in soils which perform similarly for land use purposes.

Explanation:

hope its correct

Why are most solid ionic compounds electrically nonconductive, whereas aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors
Allisa [31]

Answer:

there must be free-moving electrons in a compound to conduct electricity.

in solid ionic compounds, there are no free electrons so it can't conduct electricity.

But in aqueous form the forces of attraction are broken and the ions (cations and anions) are free to move. This means there are free electrons that allow the aqueous compound to conduct electricity.

Elements x and y form 2 binary compounds. In the first 14.0 g of x combines with 3.0 g of y. In the second, 7.00 g of x combine
Roman55 [17]

second compound

Let molar mass of x is = X

Let molar mass of y is = Y

Moles of x in second compound = Mass / molar mass = 7 / X

Moles of y in second compound = Mass / molar mass = 4.5 / Y

For second compound  

7 / X : 4.5/ Y = 1:1

Therefore

X / Y = 7/4.5

Y / X = 4.5/ 7

The mass of x in first compound = 14g

moles of x in first compound = 14/X

Mass of y in first compound = 3

moles of y in first compound = 3 / Y

14 / X : 3/ Y = 14Y / 3X = 14 X 4.5 / 3 X 7 = 3 :1

Thus molar ratio in first compound = moles of x / Moles of y = 3:2

Formula = x3y
