If .19 moles of sodium carbonate are dissolved in enough water to make .400 L of solution, what is the molarity?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

=0.475M

Explanation:

Molarity=(moles of solute))/(litres of solution)

So, molarity in this question:

=(0.19 moles of sodium carbonate)/(0.4 L of solution)

=0.475M

~Hope this helps:)

Which of the following choices would have a positive entropy change?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

  • The option <u><em>B) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g),</em></u> because the reactants are only solid units and the products contain gas molecules.

Explanation:

A <em>positive entropy change</em> means that the entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.

Entropy in a measure of the radomness or disorder of the system.

Let's see every reaction:

<u />

<u>A) 4NO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (l) + O₂ (g) → 4 HNO₃ (aq)</u>

Since 5 molecules of a gas (high disorder) combines with 2 molecules of liquid to produce 4 units of aqueous HNO₃ you may expect that the product is more ordered than the reactants, which means that the change in entropy is negative (the entropy decreases).

<u />

<u>B) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)</u>

The left side (reactants) show only solid substances which is a highly ordered arrangement while the right side (products) show the formation a solid (ordered arrangement) and a gas (highly disoredered arrangement), so you can predict the increase of the system entropy, i.e. a positive entropy change.

The <u>equation C)</u> shows the combination of 12 gas molecules to produce 1 solid and 6 gas molecules, so you can expect that the entropy will decrease, i.e. a negative entropy change.

For <u>equation D)</u> the products include solid and gas reactants while the product is just one unit of solid substance, letting you to predict a negative entropy change.

What will happen if you add a mild acid to a solution that is buffered at ph = 7?
allsm [11]
The pH of the solution will be lowered. Currently the solution is Neutral (salt water). Adding an acid will turn the solution slightly acidic
