What can help overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid

Chemistry
1 answer:
IgorC [24]3 years ago

Answer: D. An increase in entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an disordered arrangement to an ordered arrangement, the entropy is said to increase and vice versa.

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the enthalpy of the solution must decrease and the entropy must increase.

To overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid  solute to dissolve in water, an increase in entropy would make the reaction spontaneous as the system would move to a more disordered state.

You are given two aqueous solutions with different ionic solutes (Solution A and Solution B). What if you are told that Solution
klio [65]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible. Let us consider an example of two solutions, that is, solution A having 20 percent mass RbCl (rubidium chloride) and solution B is having 15 percent by mass NaCl or sodium chloride.  

It is found that solution A is having more concentration in comparison to solution B in terms of mass percent. The formula for mass percent is,  

% by mass = mass of solute/mass of solution * 100

Now the formula for molality is,  

Molality = weight of solute/molecular weight of solute * 1000/ weight of solvent in grams

Now molality of solution A is,  

m = 20/121 * 1000/80 (molecular weight of RbCl is 121 grams per mole)

m = 2.07

Now the molality of solution B is,  

m = 15/58.5 * 1000/85

m = 3.02

Therefore, in terms of molality, the solution B is having greater concentration (3.02) in comparison to solution A (2.07).

Consider the following reaction: CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g) This reaction is carried out at a different temperature with initial conc
Anni [7]

Answer:

Ka = 4.76108

Explanation:

  • CO(g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g)

∴ Keq = [CH3OH(g)] / [H2(g)]²[CO(g)]

                      [ ]initial         change         [ ]eq

CO(g)              0.27 M       0.27 - x        0.27 - x

H2(g)              0.49 M       0.49 - x        0.49 - x

CH3OH(g)          0                0 + x               x = 0.11 M

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = ( x ) / (0.49 - x)²(0.27 - x)

⇒ Ka = (0.11) / (0.49 - 0.11)² (0.27 - 0.11)

⇒ Ka = (0.11) / (0.38)²(0.16)

⇒ Ka = 4.76108
