Answer:

CH3OH(s)<CH3OH(l)<CH3OH(g)<CH3CH2OH(g)

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of disorderliness of a system. The more orderly a system is, the more its entropy tends to zero.

Hence solid particles have the least entropy because solid particles do not translate. The entropy of liquid particles is greater than that of solid particles since liquid particles can translate. Gas particles have the highest entropy because gas particles move at a very high velocity owing to minimal intermolecular interaction.

Also, the heavier the molecules of a substance, the larger its molar entropy therefore, CH3CH2OH(g) exhibits the greatest entropy.

How many grams of H2O can be made from the combustion of 3.75 liters of C7H14 and an excess of O2 at STP?

Kitty [74]

Answer:

21.10g of H2O

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2C7H14 + 21O2 —> 14CO2 + 14H2O

From the balanced equation above, 2L of C7H14 produced 14L of H2O.

Therefore, 3.75L of C7H14 will produce = (3.75 x 14)/2 = 26.25L of H2O.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2O that will occupy 26.25L at stp. This is illustrated below:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp

Therefore, Xmol of H2O will occupy

26.25L i.e

Xmol of H2O = 26.25/22.4

Xmol of H2O = 1.172 mole

Therefore, 1.172 mole of H2O is produced from the reaction.

Next, we shall convert 1.172 mole of H2O to grams. This is illustrated below:

Number of mole H2O = 1.172 mole

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of H2O = 1.172 x 18

Mass of H2O = 21.10g

Therefore, 21.10g of H2O is produced from the reaction.

Solid sodium chloride is formed by the reaction of chlorine gas and solid sodium . write a balanced chemical equation for this r

LuckyWell [14K]

There are no states in the picture, but Na should have a "(s)" after it, and Cl2 should have a "(g)" after it. NaCl should have an "(s)". Chlorine is a diatomic element so it has a "2" subscript on it.

Hope this helped! :)

28 Which compound yields H + ions as the only positive ions in an aqueous solution?

MrMuchimi

Answer: (4) $CH_3COOH$

Explanation:-

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions $(OH^-)$ when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydronium ions $(H_3O^+)$ in water.

1. $KOH$ is a strong electrolyte and thus dissociate in water. $KOH\rightarrow K^++OH^-$

2. $CH_3OH$ is a non electrolyte and thus do no dissociate in water.

$CH_3COOH\rightarrow no reaction$

3. $NaOH$ is a strong electrolyte and thus dissociate in water.

$NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-$

4. $CH_3COOH$ is a weak electrolyte and thus partially dissociate in water.

$CH_3COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+H^+$

At equal concentrations would a nonelectrolyte (e.g. glucose) or electrolyte (e.g. nacl) containing solution have a lower freezi

Anestetic [448]

Answer is: solution of electrolyte will have lower freezing point than solution of nonelectrolyte.
This is because salt solution has more particles in of sodium chloride (sodium and chlorine ions) than in same concentration of glucose. Electrolytes better separates into particles in water because of their ionic bond.<span>
