Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The third law of thermodynamics states that "the entropy of a perfect crystal of a pure substance approaches zero as the temperature approaches zero" (Wikipedia).
One example of the third law of thermodynamics has to do with steam. Steam is gaseous water. Since it is a gas, its molecules are free to move around therefore its entropy is high. When the temperature of the steam is decreased below 100 degrees, the molecules of steam loose energy and turn into liquid water and do not move as freely as they did in the gaseous state. If the temperature is further decreased to yield ice at zero degrees, the molecules of water are "frozen" in their positions and the entropy of the system decreases to zero.
Also, the ions in ionic crystal solids move around when the substance is in solution or in molten state hence the substance conducts electricity. When the ionic substance is in solid state, the ions do not move about and the entropy of the solid system tends towards zero.
The new volume at standard pressure of 1 atm is 21294 liters.
Explanation:
Data given:
Initial volume of the gas V1 = 338 liters
initial pressure on the gas P1 = 63 atm
standard pressure as P2 = 1 atm
Final volume at standard pressure V2 =?
The data given shows that Boyle's law equation is to used:
P1V1 = P2V2
rearranging the equation to calculate V2,
V2 =
Putting the values in the equation:
V2 =
= 21294 L
as the pressure on the gas is reduced to 1 atm the volume of the gas increased incredibly to 21294 litres.
Answer:
1. Solid phase.
Explanation:
The molecules in a solid are held in a definite pattern which is not true of a liquid or gas.
