4 0

Used mainly in the context of Geography a Constructive force is involved in making new land while a Destructive force breaks the land. As they are carrying opposite functions to one another they are considered as competing forces.

For which of the following reactions is S° > 0. Choose all that apply. N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) 4CO2(g) + 6H2

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: $2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

$NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)$

$2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)$

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system.

A system has positive value of entropy if the disorder increases and a system has negative value of entropy if the disorder decreases.

1. $N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative

2. $2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

As 9 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 10 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

3. $NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)$

As 1 mole of solid reactants is changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

4. $2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 5 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive

5. $2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 1 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative.

Commercial concentrated aqueous ammonia is 28% nh3 by mass and has a density of 0.90 g/ml. what is the concentration of ammonia

patriot [66]

Answer:- 14.9 M

Solution:- Given commercial sample of ammonia is 28% by mass. Let's say we have 100 grams of the sample. Then mass of ammonia would be 28 grams.

Density of the solution is given as 0.90 grams per mL.

From the mass and density we could calculate the volume of the solution as:

$100g(\frac{1mL}{0.90g})$

= 111 mL

Let's convert the volume from mL to L as molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution.

$111mL(\frac{1L}{1000mL})$

= 0.111 L

Now, we convert grams of ammonia to moles on dividing the grams by molar mass. Molar mass of ammonia is 17 gram per mole.

$28g(\frac{1mole}{17g})$

= 1.65 mole

To calculate the molarity we divide the moles of ammonia by the liters of solution:

$molarity=\frac{1.65mole}{0.111L}$

= 14.9 M

So, the molarity of the given commercial sample of ammonia is 14.9 M.
