Cl2(s); oxidation number 1 is the incorrect choices in oxidation number.
Explanation:
In the elemental form oxidation state is zero. Here chlorine is present in elemental form so oxidation state is zero.
Oxidation number depends on the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom of the element say in compound formation.
If electron is gained oxidation number becomes negative.
If electron is lost then oxidation number is positive.
If the octet rule is fulfilled that valence shell is filled them atomic number gets zero. Since Cl2 is in neutral state the oxidation number is 0.
Oxidation number in general can be made out by checking the valency of the element as oxidation number is also equal to the valency.
Atomic numbershould be correct
Answer:
2. ΔG is zero, ΔH is positive, and ΔS is positive
Explanation:
When the ice is being converted to water ate 0ºC and 1 atm, there is an equilibrium between the solid and the liquid. At the equilibrium point, ΔG (the free energy) is zero. It is negative for spontaneous reactions and positive for nonspontaneous reactions.
For the phase change happens, the ice must absorb heat from the surroundings, so it's an endothermic reaction, and because of that ΔH (the enthalpy) must be positive. It is negative for exothermic reactions.
In the liquid state, the molecules have more energy and the randomness is higher than the solid-state. The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness, so if it's increasing, ΔS must be positive.
