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

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How
Basile [38]

Answer:

B.) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

Silicon is located in the 3rd row and 14th column in the periodic table. Arsenic is located in the 4th row and 15th column in the periodic table. This means that arsenic has one more valence electron than silicon. Since arsenic is located one row down from silicon, its valence electrons occupy higher energy orbitals.

Silicon maintains a crystal-like lattice structure. Each silicon atom is covalently connected to assume this shape. When silicon gains one extra electron from arsenic, it experiences n-type doping. This new electron is not tightly bound in the lattice structure. This allows it to move more freely and conduct more electricity. This can also be explained using band gaps. Silicon, which previously had an empty conduction band, now has one electron in this band. This lowers the band gap between the conduction and valence bands and increases conductivity.

Answer:

305 litres of NO gas will be produced from 916 L of NO₂

Explanation:

Given the balanced equation of the chemical reaction as follows:

3 NO₂ (g) + H₂O( l) —— 2 HNO₃ (l) + NO (g)

Under standard conditions, 3 moles of No₂ will react with 1 mole of water to produce 1 mole of NO gas.

Molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L

Number of moles of NO₂ gas present in 916 L = 916/22.4 = 40.893 moles of NO₂ gas

From the mole ratio of NO₂ to NO in the equation of reaction,

Number of moles of NO that will be produced = 1/3 × 40.893 moles = 13.631 moles of NO gas

Volume of 13.631 moles of NO gas = 13.631 × 22.4

Volume of NO gas produced = 305.334L

Therefore, Volume of NO gas produced from the reaction of 916 L of NO₂ with water = 305 L

Why are summer days longer than winter days on Earth?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

A. During the summer, Earth's rotational axis is parallel to the Sun's rotational axis.

Explanation:

Actually, though, the Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees! (A circle is 360 degrees.) This tilt is the reason that days are longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. The hemisphere that's tilted closest to the Sun has the longest, brightest days because it gets more direct light from the Sun's rays.

Plz mark me brainliest if correct :)

If 4000 g of Fe2O3 reacts, how many moles of CO are needed?<br> (add work)
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

75.15 mol.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to write the balanced equation of the reaction:

<em>Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂.</em>

It is clear that 1.0 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3.0 moles of CO to produce 2.0 moles of Fe and 3.0 moles of CO₂.

∴ Fe₂O₃ reacts with CO with (1: 3) molar ratio.

  • we need to calculate the no. of moles of (4000 g) of Fe₂O₃:

<em>no. of moles of Fe₂O₃ = mass/molar mass</em> = (4000 g)/(159.69 g/mol) = <em>25.05 mol.</em>

<u>Using cross multiplication:</u>

1.0 mole of Fe₂O₃ needs → 3.0 moles of CO,

∴ 25.05 mole of Fe₂O₃ needs → ??? moles of CO.

<em>∴ The no. of moles of CO needed</em> = (3.0 mol)(25.05 mol)/(1.0 mol) =<em> 75.15 mol.</em>
