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

Chemistry
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]3 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.

attashe74 [19]
<h2>The answer is option b "free energy is zero"</h2>

Explanation

  • The reaction that has negative free energy are called exergonic reactions that means the reactants have more free energy than the product formed.
  • The reaction that has positive free energy are called endergonic reactions that means the final state or the products formed have more free energy than the initial state or the reactants.
  • The reaction that has zero free energy occurs when the free energy of both reactants and the products are same hence the rate of formation of products and reactants are equal.
  • Therefore, when reactants and products are being formed at an equal rate the free energy is zero.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

In 23.49 minutes the concentration of A to be 66.8% of the initial concentration.

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate the constant for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}} .....(1)

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]} ......(2)

where,  

k = rate constant

t_{1/2} =Half life of the reaction = 2.42\times 10^3 s

t = time taken for decay process = ?

[A_o] = initial amount of the reactant = 0.163 M

[A] = amount left after time t =  66.8% of [A_o]

[A]=\frac{66.8}{100}\times 0.163 M=0.108884 M

k=\frac{0.693}{2.42\times 10^3 s}

t=\frac{2.303}{\frac{0.693}{2.42\times 10^3 s}}\log\frac{0.163 M}{0.108884 M}

t = 1,409.19 s

1 minute = 60 sec

t=\frac{1,409.19 }{60} min=23.49 min

In 23.49 minutes the concentration of A to be 66.8% of the initial concentration.
