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.
Answer:
k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
Explanation:
For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is
Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt
where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.
We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus
Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt
- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
Answer:
The rates of decay of radioactive elements
Explanation:
The age of a rock in years is called its absolute age. Geologists find absolute ages by measuring the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock. When rocks are formed, small amounts of radioactive elements usually get included.
The number of moles of moles of Magnesium,chlorine and oxygen atoms in 7.80 moles of Mg(ClO4)2 is calculated as below
find the total number of each atom in Mg(ClO4)2
that is mg = 1 atom
Cl = 1x2 = 2 atoms
O = 4 x2 = 8 atoms
then multiply 7.80 moles with total number of each atom , to get the number moles of each atom
that is
Mg = 7.80 x1= 7.80 moles
cl = 7.80 x2=15.6 moles
O = 7.80 x8= 62.4 moles
Answer:
2Na+F2 yields 2NaF is balanced.
Explanation:
There are 2 sodium and 2 fluorine in both reactants and product: In 2NaF the 2 is distributed because it is in the beginning of the compound.
