What drives spontaneous reactions?

Chemistry

<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

How many moles of feo are produced if 8 moles of So2 are consumed
UkoKoshka [18]
<span>Looking at the equation, 2 moles of FeO are produced from every 2 moles of CuFeS2. That means 8 moles of CuFeS2 will produce 8 moles of FeO (assuming there is sufficient oxygen, O2, in the reaction)</span>

At night, there is a drop in the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. Why does this drop occur?
Darya [45]
Ozone transforms back to oxygen pretty readily and quickly. thus, unless sunlight is present to make new ozone, the ozone level decreases.

Please answer asap!! how does the density of an object identify the material the object is made from?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

If you were to divide any object into small pieces of unit volume, the density would be the mass of each small piece. Everything is made up of molecules, which in turn are made up of atoms. So every object is created from the aggregation of atoms and molecules.
