What drives spontaneous reactions?

Chemistry
2 answers:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago

<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 liters of C3H6O are present in a sample weighing 25.6 grams?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

V = 0.0327 L.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the liters of C3H6O by the definition of density. We can tell the density of this substance as that of acetone (0.784 g/mL) and therefore calculate the liters as shown below:

V=25.6g*\frac{1mL}{0.784g}*\frac{1L}{1000mL}\\\\V=0.0327L

Regards!

3. A compound consists of 91.63 grams of carbon, 7.69 grams of hydrogen and 40.81 grams of
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C₁₂H₁₂O₄

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C = 91.63 g

Mass of H = 7.69 g

Mass pf O = 40.81 g

Molar mass of compound = 220 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 7.69 / 1.01 = 7.61

Number of gram atoms of O = 40.81 / 16 = 2.55

Number of gram atoms of C = 91.63 / 12 = 7.64

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :      H                :         O

           7.64/2.55          :    7.61 /2.55    :       2.55/2.55

               3                     :          3               :        1

C : H : O = 3 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass  = 3×12+ 3×1.01 +16 = 55.03

n = 220 / 55.03

n = 4

Molecular formula = 4 (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 4 (C₃H₃O)

Molecular formula = C₁₂H₁₂O₄
