Answer: D. An increase in entropy
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an disordered arrangement to an ordered arrangement, the entropy is said to increase and vice versa.
For a reaction to be spontaneous, the enthalpy of the solution must decrease and the entropy must increase.
To overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid solute to dissolve in water, an increase in entropy would make the reaction spontaneous as the system would move to a more disordered state.
Answer:
E
Explanation:
Here in this question, what we will do is to select which of the pairs that do not correlate.
A. Enthalpy and heat content
This two terms are at par with each other. By definition, the enthalpy of a system simply is the total amount of heat content it has.
B. Endothermic reaction and +H
These two terms are at par with each other. An endothermic reaction is one in which heat is absorbed from the surroundings. It has a positive value for the heat content i.e the enthalpy is positive and thus H is positive.
C. Exothermic reaction and -H
An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is released to the environment. It usually has a negative value for the enthalpy and thus the value of H is negative.
D. High energy and High Stability
These two terms are not at par. When an entity has or is of high energy, it is usually unstable. An entity at a higher energy level will not be stable until it goes to a lower level of energy.
Thus higher energy level is associated with lesser stability while lower energy levels are associated with higher stability. The lesser the energy of an entity, the higher its stability.
This makes the option our answer.
Answer:
reduce the temperature of the gas
Explanation:
when you reduce the temperature of the gas the pressure will decrease
