3rd law of thermodynamics.. 2 Different Examples((Thnks))

Chemistry
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The third law of thermodynamics states that "the entropy of a perfect crystal of a pure substance approaches zero as the temperature approaches zero" (Wikipedia).

One example of the third law of thermodynamics has to do with steam. Steam is gaseous water. Since it is a gas, its molecules are free to move around therefore its entropy is high. When the temperature of the steam is decreased below 100 degrees, the molecules of steam loose energy and turn into liquid water and do not move as freely as they did in the gaseous state. If the temperature is further decreased to yield ice at zero degrees, the molecules of water are "frozen" in their positions and the entropy of the system decreases to zero.

Also, the ions in ionic crystal solids move around when the substance is in solution or in molten state hence the substance conducts electricity. When the ionic substance is in solid state, the ions do not move about and the entropy of the solid system tends towards zero.

A runner is traveling around the track below at a constant speed. Is she accelerating?
Black_prince [1.1K]

<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

D.No, she is not accelerating because her speed is constant.

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is known as acceleration.

acceleration =change in velocity/time

As she is running at constant speed  and there is no change in velocity so she is not accelerating.

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of ________ and ________ in the nucleus of an atom. Choose two answers from the options
iVinArrow [24]

Answer :

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Explanation :

Atomic number : it is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number or atomic mass : It is defined as the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For example :

Number of protons in carbon = 6

Number of neutrons in carbon = 6

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Mass number or atomic mass = 6 + 6

Mass number or atomic mass = 12

Thus, the atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

As an EPA scientist studying catalytic converters and urban smog, you want to find Kc for the following reaction: 2NO2(g) ⇋ N2(g
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Kc = 4.774 * 10¹³

Explanation:

the desired reaction is

2 NO₂(g) ⇋ N₂(g) + 2 O₂(g)

Kc =[N₂]*[O₂]² /[NO₂]²

Since

1/2 N₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) ⇋ NO(g)

Kc₁= [NO]/(√[N₂]√[O₂]) →  Kc₁²= [NO]²/([N₂][O₂])

and

2 NO₂(g) ⇋ 2 NO(g) + O₂(g)

Kc₂= [NO]²*[O₂]/[NO₂]² →  1/Kc₂= [NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂])

then

Kc₁²* (1/Kc₂) = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂]) *[NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂])  = [NO₂]²/([N₂]*[O₂]²) = 1/Kc

Kc₁² /Kc₂ = 1/Kc

Kc= Kc₂/Kc₁² =1.1*10⁻⁵/(4.8*10⁻¹⁰)² = 4.774 * 10¹³
