Answer:
They all have 7 valence electrons on it's outer shell.
Answer:
The sign of \Delta GΔG is negative.
The sign of \Delta HΔH is negative.
The sign of \Delta SΔS is negative.
Explanation:
The water vapor is adsorbed on silica gel due to strong hydrophilicity of silica get towards the water.
The thermodynamic properties of adsorbate and adsorbent changes after adsorption. Silica gel is very porous and hydrophilic, thus, it absorbs the water from the shoe box.
The adsorption process occurs spontaneously, therefore Delta G < 0.
When adsorption occurs, bonds are formed between water molecules and SiO2, and the bond formation process is exothermic (heat is released).
Thus, Delta H < 0.
The water molecules become immobilized on the surface when adsorption occurs, thus, entropy/disorder decreases.
So, Delta S < 0.
