Answer:

D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous.

Explanation:

<em>What does Gibbs free energy (ΔG) predict? .</em>

A. It predicts what the rate of the reaction will be. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.

B. It predicts how high the activation energy is. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.

C. It predicts if entropy will increase or decrease. NO. ΔG depends on the entropy but not the other way around.

D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous. YES. If ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous and if ΔG > 0 the reaction is not spontaneous.

The atomic number of fluorine is 9. How many electrons does an ion of fluorine have if it is represented by the symbol shown bel

Irina-Kira [14]

See charge on ion is -1 .

Hence it has taken 1 electron

Now first look at EC of Fluorine(F)

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^5$

Now one electron added .hence no of electrons is 10now

Look at the EC

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^6$

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow [He]$

Option C is correct.

ICI has a higher boiling point then Br. What is the best explanation for this?

Ahat [919]

Br2 experiences dipole-dipole interactions. ICl experiences dipole-dipole interactions. Br2 forms hydrogen bonds. ICl experiences induced dipole-induced dipole interactions.
