Answer:

Δ S° > 0

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by the change in heat per change in temperature.

When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .

From the reaction given in the question ,

Cu₂O (s) + C (s) → 2 Cu (s) + CO (g)

Considering the states of the reactant and the product ..

The product formed i.e. CO is in gaseous species , hence , the entropy increases .

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

a) 1.39 g ; b) O₂ is limiting reactant, NH₃ is excess reactant; c) 0.7 g

Explanation:

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.

MM: 17.03 32.00 30.01

4NH₃ + 5O₂ ⟶ 4NO + 6H₂O

Mass/g: 1.5 1.85

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

$\text{moles of NH}_{3} = \text{1.5 g NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NH}_{3}}{\text{17.03 g NH}_{3}} = \text{0.0881 mol NH}_{3}\\\\\text{moles of O}_{2} = \text{1.85 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.057 81 mol O}_{2}$

3. Calculate the moles of NO we can obtain from each reactant

From NH₃:

The molar ratio is 4 mol NO:4 mol NH₃

$\text{Moles of NO} = \text{0.0881 mol NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{4 mol NO}}{\text{4 mol NH}_{3}} = \text{0.0881 mol NO}$

From O₂:

The molar ratio is 4 mol NO:5 mol O₂

$\text{Moles of NO} = \text{0.057 81 mol O}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{4 mol NO}}{\text{5 mol O}_{2}} = \text{0.046 25 mol NO}$

4. Identify the limiting and excess reactants

The limiting reactant is O₂ because it gives the smaller amount of NO.

The excess reactant is NH₃.

5. Calculate the mass of NO formed

$\text{Mass of NO} = \text{0.046 25 mol NO}\times \dfrac{\text{30.01 g NO}}{\text{1 mol NO}} = \textbf{1.39 g NO}$

6. Calculate the moles of NH₃ reacted

The molar ratio is 4 mol NH₃:5 mol O₂

$\text{Moles reacted} = \text{0.057 81 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{4 mol NH}_{3}}{\text{5 mol O}_{2}} = \text{0.046 25 mol NH}_{3}$

7. Calculate the mass of NH₃ reacted

$\text{Mass reacted} = \text{0.046 25 mol NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{17.03 g NH}_{3}}{\text{1 mol NH}_{3}} = \text{0.7876 g NH}_{3}$

8. Calculate the mass of NH₃ remaining

Mass remaining = original mass – mass reacted = (1.5 - 0.7876) g = 0.7 g NH₃

the half of an oxidation-reduction reaction shows the iron gains. what does this electron gain mean for iron.

Nataly [62]

The correct answer is option C, that is, it is reduced.

In reduction and oxidation reactions, reduction refers to the loss of an oxygen atom from a molecule or the gaining of one or more electrons. A reduction reaction is observed from the perspective of the molecule being reduced, as when one molecule gets reduced, another one gets oxidized. The complete reaction is called a redox reaction.

In the given case, iron gains electrons mean that it is reduced.
