If one benzene molecule is placed in water, the total entropy of the water + benzene system:___________

Chemistry
1 answer:
valkas [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

d) increases

Explanation:

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. It is a colourless volatile liquid with a sweet smell. It boils ar 80° C (353 K) and freezes at 5°C (2278 K). It is insoluble in water but mixes in all proportions with ethanol, ethoxyethane and methylbenzene. The reason which benzene is insoluble in water is that benzene is a non-polar compound and water is polar, meanwhile only "like dissolves like". So, when the benzene molecule is placed in water. There will be distortion and disturbance between the benzene molecule and the water. Thus, the particle of each molecule will be distant from each other. This state results to change in the entropy of the system as the entropy of the system increases.

How many miles are in 68 grams of copper 2 hydroxide, Cu (OH)2
BabaBlast [244]
Molar mass  Cu(OH)₂ =  <span>97.561 g/mol

1 mol --------- 97.561 g
? mol ---------- 68 g

moles = 68 * 1 / 97.561

moles = 68 / 97.561

= 0.6969 moles

At sea level, where the pressure was 104 kPa and temperature 21.1 ºC, a certain mass of air occupies 2.0 m3 . To what volume wil
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 104 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 52 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 2.0m^3

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 21.1^oC=273+21.1=294.1K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -5.0^oC=273+(-5.0)=268 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{104 kPa\times 2.0m^3}{294.1 K}=\frac{52 kPa\times V_2}{268 K}

V_2=3.64 m^3

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

Choose the answer that best completes the following statement: When an aluminum atom reacts so as to attain a noble gas electron
boyakko [2]

The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2  8.  The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of  Neon has been formed in the process.

What can natural selection accomplish? prove Darwin's idea of "survival of the fittest" change relative number of inhabitants wi
oksian1 [2.3K]
Natural selection makes it so that an organism from a species has a better chance of surviving than an organism in the same species, but with different traits. Survival of the fittest proves that certain traits can help an organisms survive better than its peers. For example, say there was an allele that made bears have thicker fur than others. The year-round climate is extremely cold. The bears with thicker fur are more likely to survive due to the warmth their fur provides and will have more offspring. The bears with thinner fur will die more often and not produce healthy offspring due to the frigid temperature. Eventually, the allele for thin fur will die out because the bears with these alleles cannot survive in their habitat.
