Answer:

The reaction is spontaneous when T > 2170 K.

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction is related to the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°). When ΔG° < 0 the reaction is spontaneous. ΔG° is related to the standard enthalpy (ΔH°) and the standard entropy (ΔS°) through the following expression:

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

where,

T is the absolute temperature

The reaction is spontaneous when ΔG° < 0, that is,

ΔH° - T.ΔS° < 0

ΔH° <  T.ΔS°

T > ΔH°/ΔS° = (169.4 × 10³ J)/(78.1 J/K) = 2170 K

The reaction is spontaneous when T > 2170 K.

Einstein's formula tells us the amount of energy to which a given mass would be equivalent, if it were all suddenly turned into
skad [1K]
Einstein's famous equation, E = mc^2 relates the mass (m) of an object to energy (E). The speed of light (c), is the constant of proportionality. Einstein formulated the equation within his theory of special relativity. Indeed, a physical interpretation of this equation is that any given mass is equivalent to the energy given by the equation, if it were suddenly converted to energy. Therefore the answer to the question is true.

Convert 278 Kelvin to Celsius

278 Kelvin (K) = 4.850000 Celsius (C)

1 K = -272.150 C

1 C = 274.150 K

Buffer consists of undissociated acid (ha) and the ion made by dissociating the acid (a-). How does this system buffer a solutio
docker41 [41]

In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid  HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

Which of the following would have the lowest threshold velocity? clay pebbles silt large rocks
Gnom [1K]
The correct answer is silt. Silt have the lowest threshold velocity. Silt is a granular substance that is like a sand and clay. Silt may occur as a mixed sediment with water and that water moves the molecules in a minimum speed rate.

What is the mass of 3.5 x 10 23 molecules of co2
kaheart [24]

Answer:

x = 3/6.02 = 0.50.

Explanation:

1 mole of CO2 has 6.02 x 10^23 molecules of CO2.

Say x moles of CO2 has 3.0x10^23 molecules of CO2.

Therefore x = 3/6.02 = 0.50.
