For each process, predict the sign on the entropy change and write a sentence or two to explain how to make this prediction with
MrRa [10]

Answer: a. A solid melts: \Delta S=+ve

b. a vapor is converted to solid: \Delta S=-ve

c. a liquid freezes:  \Delta S=-ve

d. A solid sublimes:  \Delta S=+ve

e.  a vapor condenses to liquid :  \Delta S=-ve

f. a liquid boils:   \Delta S=+ve

g. dissolving a tablespoon of salt in water:  \Delta S=+ve

h. combustion of gasoline:  \Delta S=+ve

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy change is negative and vice versa.

a. A solid melts: The solid is converting to liquid, thus the randomness is increasing as the molecules are moving away and the intermolecular forces are getting weaker. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

b. a vapor is converted to solid: The gas  is converting to solid, thus the randomness is decreasing as the molecules are moving close and the intermolecular forces are getting stronger Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is negative.

c. a liquid freezes: The liquid is converting to solid, thus the randomness is decreasing as the molecules are moving close and the intermolecular forces are getting stronger. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is negative.

d. A solid sublimes: The solid is converting to gas, thus the randomness is increasing as the molecules are moving away and the intermolecular forces are getting weaker. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

e.  a vapor condenses to liquid : The gas  is converting to liquid, thus the randomness is decreasing as the molecules are moving close and the intermolecular forces are getting stronger. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is negative.

f. a liquid boils: The liquid is converting to gas, thus the randomness is increasing as the molecules are moving away and the intermolecular forces are getting weaker. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

g. dissolving a tablespoon of salt in water: The solid is converting to ions , thus the randomness is increasing as the ions can move freely. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

h. combustion of gasoline: The liquid is converting to gas, thus the randomness is increasing as the molecules are moving away and the intermolecular forces are getting weaker. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

Which unit is used for measuring atomic mass?
Kryger [21]
An atomic mass unit is a unit of measurement that is used to measure the mass of atoms. The atomic mass unit (abbreviated: amu or u) is roughly equal to the mass of 1 proton<span> or 1 neutron. The unified atomic mass unit and the dalton are different names for the same thing. The dalton name is used more over time.</span>

What happens on a molecular level when a diatomic molecule is a gas but is then cooled to a solid?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

As an example of the processes depicted in this figure, consider a sample of water. When gaseous water is cooled sufficiently, the attractions between H2O molecules will be capable of holding them together when they come into contact with each other; the gas condenses, forming liquid H2O. For example, liquid water forms on the outside of a cold glass as the water vapor in the air is cooled by the cold glass.

Explanation:

Hopefully that helps!

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. This can be gleane
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer : The total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 grams

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

2MgO\rightarrow 2Mg+O_2

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of 2MgO = Total mass of 2Mg+O_2

or,

Total mass of 2MgO = Mass of 2Mg  + Mass of O_2

As we are given :

Total mass of MgO = 16.12 grams

The mass of Mg = 9.72 grams

So,

Total mass of 2MgO = Mass of 2Mg  + Mass of O_2

2\times 16.12g=2\times 9.72g+\text{Mass of }O_2

\text{Mass of }O_2=32.24g-19.44g=12.8g

Therefore, the total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 grams
