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

Chemistry

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.

Find the percentage composition of a compound that contains 1.94 g of carbon, 0.48 g of hydrogen, and 2.58 g of sulfur.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer : The percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.

Explanation :

To calculate the percentage composition of element in sample, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100

Given:

Mass of carbon = 1.94 g

Mass of hydrogen = 0.48 g

Mass of sulfur = 2.58 g

First we have to calculate the mass of sample.

Mass of sample = Mass of carbon + Mass of hydrogen + Mass of sulfur

Mass of sample = 1.94 + 0.48 + 2.58 = 5.0 g

Now we have to calculate the percentage composition of a compound.

\%\text{ composition of carbon}=\frac{1.94g}{5.0g}\times 100=38.8\%

\%\text{ composition of hydrogen}=\frac{0.48g}{5.0g}\times 100=9.6\%

\%\text{ composition of sulfur}=\frac{2.58g}{5.0g}\times 100=51.6\%

Hence, the percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.

A sample of hydrogen occupies a volume of 351 mL at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. What is the new volume if the temperatu
xeze [42]
Volume of Hydrogen V1 = 351mL 
Temperature T1 = 20 = 20 + 273 = 293 K 
Temperature T2 = 38 = 38 + 273 = 311 K 
We have V1 x T2 = V2 x T1 
So V2 = (V1 x T2) / T1 = (351 x 311) / 293 = 372.56 
Volume at 38 C = 373 ml
