An exorgonic reaction is a reaction where energy is being released. These type of reactions do not need input of energy to happen. Like any other processes, energy for this process is conserved which is not destroyed or created rather transformed to other type.

Explanation: Exergonic reactions are defined as the chemical reactions in which energy is released.

All the chemical reactions follow law of conservation of energy and mass which means that energy and mass remains same throughout the chemical reaction.

For these chemical reactions, reactants are present at a higher energy level and products are at a low energy level. But, the energy of the reaction should remain conserved. So, the extra amount of energy is released during the reaction.

Hence, the total amount of energy does not decrease in an exergonic reaction.

Match the following aqueous solutions with the appropriate letter from the column on the right.1. 0.19 m AgNO3 2. 0.17 m CrSO4 3

vichka [17]

Answer:

0.13 m of $Mn(NO_3)_2$ → Highest boiling point

0.19 m of $AgNO_3$ → Second Highest boiling point

0.17 m of $CrSO_4$ → Third highest boiling point

0.31 m Sucrose (nonelectrolyte) → Lowest boiling point

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling is given by :

$\Delta T_b=i\times k_b\times m$

Where :

i = van't Hoff factor

$k_b$ = Molal Elevation constant of solvent

m = molaity of the solution

1) 0.19 m of $AgNO_3$

$AgNO_3\rightarrow Ag^++NO_3^{-}$

i = 2 (electrolyte)

Molality of the solution = 0.19

Elevation is boiling point of solution:

$\Delta T_b=2\times k_b\times 0.19 m$

$\Delta T_b=0.38 m\times k_b$

2) 0.17 m of $CrSO_4$

$CrSO_4\rightarrow Cr^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}$

i = 2 (electrolyte)

Molality of the solution = 0.17

Elevation is boiling point solution :

$\Delta T_b=2\times k_b\times 0.17 m$

$\Delta T_b=0.34 m\times k_b$

3) 0.13 m of $Mn(NO_3)_2$

$Mn(NO_3)_2\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+2NO_3^{-}$

i = 3 (electrolyte)

Molality of the solution = 0.13

Elevation is boiling point solution :

$\Delta T_b=3\times k_b\times 0.13 m$

$\Delta T_b=0.39 m\times k_b$

4) 0.31 m Sucrose (nonelectrolyte)

i = 1 ( non electrolyte)

Molality of the solution = 0.31 m

Elevation is boiling point solution :

$\Delta T_b=1\times k_b\times 0.31 m$

$\Delta T_b=0.31 m\times k_b$

Higher the value of elevation in temperature higher will be the boiling point of the solution .

The decreasing order of solution from highest boiling point to lowest boiling point is :

$0.39 m\times k_b>0.38 m\times k_b>0.34 m\times k_b>0.31 m\times k_b$

0.13 m of $Mn(NO_3)_2$ → Highest boiling point

0.19 m of $AgNO_3$ → Second Highest boiling point

0.17 m of $CrSO_4$ → Third highest boiling point

0.31 m Sucrose (nonelectrolyte) → Lowest boiling point

Which best describes a stock solution that is used in a dilution?

RSB [31]

A stock solution is a solution of a known concentration. Stock solution has a high concentration and therefore, the known amount of stock solution is used for preparing different concentrations, by diluting the same with the known amount of the solvent being used, such as water.

Why is carbon dioxide called a gas and not vapour?

Afina-wow [57]

Explanation:

CO2 is called as gas because it exist in single thermodynamics state i.e CO exist in gases state only at room temperature.
