Which of the following processes would you predict to have an increase in entropy?

Anna [14]

C. Melting ice.
It is C because melting ice is a change of state from solid to liquid which requires an addition of energy(or entropy) into the system.
Condensation of water occurs from a gas to a liquid state, which takes energy out of the system(water) and gives it to the surroundings(air around it). Freezing water is the same as condensation except for the state change. Deposition is simply gas to a solid instantaneously so you can again see it as with the other two examples.

Which substance is a base? HCOOH RbOH H2CO3 NaNO3

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

RbOH

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember what is the definition of a base. A base is a compound that has the ability to produce hydroxyl ions $OH^-$ , so:

$AOH~->~A^+~+~OH^-$

With this in mind we can write the reaction for each substance:

$HCOOH~->~HCOO^-~+~H^+$

$RbOH~->~Rb^+~+~OH^-$

$H_2CO_3~->~CO_3^-^2~+~2H^+$

$NaNO_3~->~Na^+~+~NO_3^-$

The only compound that fits with the definition is $RbOH$ , so this is our base.

I hope it helps!

___________________ is a substance that reduces surface tension (Ex. Soap)

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Surfactant. Surfactant, also called surface-active agent, substance such as a detergent that, when added to a liquid, reduces its surface tension, thereby increasing its spreading and wetting properties

Assuming constant pressure, rank these reactions from most energy released by the system to most energy absorbed by the system,

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

B > D > C > A

Explanation:

For the first law of the thermodynamics, the total energy variation in a process is:

ΔU = Q - W

Where Q is the heat, and W the work. If the system loses heat, Q < 0, if it absorbs heat, Q>0. If work is done in the system (volume decreases), W < 0, if the system does the work (volume increases), W > 0.

A. If the surroundings get colder, the system is absorbing heat, so Q>0, and the system decreases in volume so W < 0 :

ΔU = +Q - (-W) = +Q + W (absorbs a higher energy)

B. If the surroundings ger hotter, the system is losing heat, so Q<0, and the system expands, so W>0:

ΔU = -Q -W (loses higher energy)

C. Surroundings get hotter, Q<0, and the system decreases in volume, W<0

ΔU = - Q + W = 0 (magnitude of heat and work is similar)

D. Surroundings get hotter, Q<0, and the system is not changing in volume, W = 0.

ΔU = -Q (loses energy)

For the most released (more negative) for the most absorbed (most positive):

B > D > C > A
