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 .

Answer: Mg is the excess reactant for the forward reaction.

Explanation: It is a stoichiometry problem and solved with the help of given grams and using balanced equation. Grams of both the reactants are converted to moles and divided by their coefficients. The excess reactant is the one for which we get the highest number on doing above steps.

The balanced equation is:

$SiCl_4(l)+2Mg(s)\rightarrow 2MgCl_2(s)+Si(s)$

Molar mass of silicon tetra chloride is 169.9 gram per mol and the molar mass of Mg is 24.3 gram per mol.

$53.8gSiCl_4(\frac{1mol}{169.9g})$

= $0.317molSiCl_4$

$65.0gMg(\frac{1mol}{24.3g})$

= 2.67 mol Mg

From balanced equation, the coefficient of silicon tetra chloride is 1 and that of Mg is 2. So, we will divide the moles of silicon tetra chloride by 1 and that of Mg by 2 and see which one gives highest number.

For silicon tetra chloride, $\frac{0.317}{1}$ = 0.317

and for Mg, $\frac{2.67}{2}$ = 1.34

The highest number is for Mg and so the excess reactant for the forward reaction is Mg.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

exceeds evaporation over land

Precipitation<u> exceeds evaporation over land </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.</u></em>
Water evaporates into the atmosphere from the ocean and to a much lesser extent from the continents. Winds transport this moisture-laden air, often great distances, until conditions cause the moisture to condense into clouds and to precipitate and fall.
Most precipitation originates by evaporation from the oceans. Over time, water evaporated from the oceans is replenished by inflow of freshwater from rivers and streams.
