</span>2 K3PO4 + 3Ca(NO3)2 --> Ca3(PO4)2 + 6KNO3
Answer:
All of the above processes have a ΔS < 0.
Explanation:
ΔS represents change in entropy of a system. Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system.
The question requests us to identify the process that has a negative change of entropy.
carbon dioxide(g) → carbon dioxide(s)
There is a change in state from gas to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
water freezes
There is a change in state from liquid to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than liquid particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
propanol (g, at 555 K) → propanol (g, at 400 K)
Temperature is directly proportional to entropy, this means higher temperature leads t higher entropy.
This reaction highlights a drop in temperature which means a negative change in entropy.
methyl alcohol condenses
Condensation is the change in state from gas to liquid. Liquid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
Answer:
(a) 3:2; (b) 2:1
Explanation:
The Law of Multiple Proportions states that when two elements A and B combine to form two or more compounds, the masses of B that combine with a given mass of A are in the ratios of small whole numbers.
That is, if one compound has a ratio r₁ and the other has a ratio r₂, the ratio of the ratios r is in small whole numbers.
(a) Ammonia and hydrazine.
In ammonia, the mass ratio of H:N is r₁ = 0.2158/1
In hydrazine, the mass ratio of H:N is r₂ = 0.1439/1
The ratio of the ratios is:
(b) Nitrogen oxides
In nitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₁ = 1.142/1
In dinitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₂ = 0.571/1
The ratio of the ratios is:
Answer:
C3H7OH → C3H6 + H20
Explanation:
If we look at the reactant and the product we will realize that the reactant is an alcohol while the product is an alkene. The reaction involves acid catalysed elimination of water from an alcohol.
Water is a good leaving group, hence an important synthetic route to alkenes is the acid catalysed elimination of water from alcohols. Hence the conversion represented by C3H7OH → C3H6 + H20 is an elimination reaction in which water is the leaving group.
