Answer:
a) and d) are false.
Explanation:
a) The second law of thermodynamics states that t<u>he entropy of the universe increases in a spon
taneous process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process.</u>
For a spontaneous process:
ΔSuniv = ΔSsys + ΔSsurr > 0
For a spontaneous process, the second law says that ΔSuniv must be greater than zero, but it does not place a restriction on either ΔSsys or ΔSsurr. Thus, it is possible for either ΔSsys or ΔSsurr to be negative, as long as the sum of these two quantities is greater than zero.
d) <u>A reaction that does occur under the given set of conditions is called a</u> spontaneous reaction. We observe spontaneous physical and chemical processes every day, including many of the following examples:
• A waterfall runs downhill, but never up, spontaneously.
• A lump of sugar spontaneously dissolves in a cup of coffee, but dissolved sugar does not spontaneously reappear in its original form.
• Heat flows from a hotter object to a colder one, but the reverse never happens spontaneously.
Answer:
Option D, Concentration of NO2 decomposes after 4.00 s = 0.77 mol
Explanation:
Time (t) = 4.00\;s
Initial concentration of NO2 = 1.33 M
Integrated law for second order reaction:
Where, [A] = Concentration after time, t
[A]0 = Intitial concentration, k = rate constant, t = time
On substituting values in the above
[A] = 0.5644 M
Concentration of NO2 decomposes after 4.00 s = 1.33 - 0.5644 = 0.7656 M
No. of mole = Molarity * volume
= 0.7656 * 1
= 0.7656 mol 0r 0.77 mol
