3Zn + 8HNO3 ---> 3Zn(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO IF IT IS COLD AND DILUT NITRIC ACID .
IF IT IS HOT AND CONCENTRATED THEN:
Zn+ 4HNO3 ---> Zn(NO3)2 +2H2O +2NO2
D will be the answer I hope that help good luck I hope. My answer help you
Gas molecules have more freedom in motion—and gases can be thought of as more “disordered”—than molecules of a solid, which are rigidly held in place. When it comes to phases, the entropy increases as you go from a solid to liquid to gas (the gaseous state having the greatest entropy and the solid state having the least).
So, as a sample of solid iodine sublimes to form gaseous iodine, the entropy of the sample increases.
The answer is D :) have a nice day!
