Answer:
D 4P +3O₂ → 2 P₂O₃
Explanation:
In this problem, we need to convert the mass of phosphorus and oxygen to moles trying to find the ratio of reaction (The moles of P that reacts per mole of O₂):
<em>Moles P:</em>
12.4g P * (1mol P / 31g) = 0.4 moles
<em>Moles O₂:</em>
9.6g * (1mol / 32g) = 0.3 moles
The ratio of reaction is:
0.4 mol / 0.3 mol = 1.33 = 4 moles of P / 3 moles of O₂
That means 4 moles of P react with 3 moles of O₂ and the reaction that represents this ratio is:
<h3>D 4P +3O₂ → 2 P₂O₃</h3>
Answer:
Eg:Salt...Essentially, water moves across a cell membrane to try to equalize the salinity or concentration of salt on both sides of the membrane. If you add enough salt, too much water will be removed from a cell for it to stay alive or reproduce. A high concentration of salt kills organisms that decay food and cause disease.
Explanation:
Answer:
An increase in entropy
Explanation:
In ice, the molecules are very well ordered because of the H-bonds. As ice melts, the intermolecular forces are broken (requires energy), but the order is interrupted (so entropy increases). Water is more random than ice, so ice spontaneously melts at room temperature.
Just think about this rationally. Melting ice (or anything) will require heat put in (this is called the latent heat of fusion), so you automatically know that the change in enthalpy is going to be positive. In order to make the reaction spontaneous, delta G, the Gibbs free energy has to be negative. So now look at the formula Delta(G) = Delta(H) - T*Delta*(S). If you know that g is negative, and H is positive, then it is only possible if -T*Delta(S) is negative. If that is positive, then Delta(S) has to be positive. So theres your answer :). An increase in entropy
