What drives spontaneous reactions?

Chemistry
2 answers:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>b. decreasing enthalpy and increasing entropy</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

∆H stands for enthalpy change and ∆S stands for entropy change

Spontaneity depends on the enthalpy and entropy changes of the reaction

∆G = ∆H - T∆S

When ∆H is negative and ∆S is positive  

∆G will be negative

For a spontaneous reaction ∆G is negative

If ∆G = 0 then the reaction will be at equilibrium  

If ∆G is positive the reaction is non spontaneous.

Decreasing enthalpy (negative) and increasing entropy (positive) will give a negative number for \Delta G

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

A spontaneous reaction drive favorable when enthalpy is decreasing and the entropy is increasing on the system. If that happens the reaction occurs spontaneously

For the reaction shown, calculate how many grams of oxygen form when each quantity of reactant completely reacts.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
The balanced chemical reaction is given as follows:

<span>2 KClO3(s) → 2 KCl(s) + 3 O2(g)

The starting amount of the reactant are given above. These values would be used for the calculations. We do as follows:

</span>2.72 g KClO3 (1 mol / 122.50g )( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3 ) ( 32 g O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 1.06 g O2
<span>
0.361 g KClO3 </span>(1 mol / 122.50g )( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3 ) ( 32 g O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 0.14 g O2
<span>
83.6 kg KClO3 (1000g / 1kg) </span>(1 mol / 122.50g )( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3 ) ( 32 g O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 3275.76 g O2
<span>
22.5 mg KClO3</span> (1 g / 1000 mg) (1 mol / 122.50g )( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3 ) ( 32 g O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 0.009 g O2

A roller coaster starts down a hill at 10 m/s. Three seconds later, its speed is 32 m/s. What is the roller coaster’s accelerati
erica [24]
Final velocity(v) = 32 m/s
Initial velocity(u) = 10 m/s

Using kinematic equation v = u + at, 

32 = 10 + a(3)

32-10
---------  = a
    3

a = 22
      ----
       3

a = 7.3 m/s^2.

Hence acceleration of the roller coaster is 7.3 m/s^2.

Hope this helps!!
