C. The reaction goes from one of less moles to more causing it to be more disordered and therefore have a positive change in s

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy means the degree of randomness present in a substance or within the reactants in a chemical reaction.

Change in entropy is represented by \Delta S. More is the degree of randomness present more positive will be the value of \Delta S. Similarly, less is the degree of randomness present within a substance lesser will be the value of \Delta S.

(a)    2NO(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2NO_{2}(g)

Here, 3 moles of reactants are giving 2 moles of product. Hence, entropy is decreasing so, the value of \Delta S is negative.

(b)   2N_{2}(g) + 3H_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2NH_{3}(g)

Here, 5 moles of reactants are giving 2 moles of product.  Hence, entropy is decreasing so, the value of \Delta S is negative.

(c)   C_{3}H_{8}(g) + 5O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 3CO_{2}(g) + 4H_{2}O(g)

Here, 6 moles of reactants are giving 7 moles of product.  Hence, entropy is increasing so, the value of \Delta S is positive.

(d) Mg(s) + Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow MgCl_{2}(s)

Here, 2 moles of reactants are giving 1 mole of product.  Hence, entropy is decreasing so, the value of \Delta S is negative.

(e)  C_{2}H_{4}(g) + H_{2}(g) \rightarrow C_{2}H_{6}(g)

Here, 2 moles of reactants are giving 1 mole of product.  Hence, entropy is decreasing so, the value of \Delta S is negative.

Thus, we can conclude that \Delta S is positive for the reaction C_{3}H_{8}(g) + 5O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 3CO_{2}(g) + 4H_{2}O(g).

People who work with radioactive materials often wear a film badge to reveal how much radiation they have been exposed to. The film badge dosimeter or the film badge is a dosimeter worn by these people working with materials that are radioactive for the purpose of monitoring cumulative radiation dose due to ionizing radiation. The badge has two parts; the photographic film, and a holder.

In the equation:
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

B) 16 g

Explanation:

  • 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

First we <u>convert 4 moles of O₂ into moles of H₂</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:

  • 4 mol O₂ * \frac{2molH_2}{1molO_2} = 8 mol H₂

Finally we <u>convert 8 moles of H₂ into grams</u>, using <em>its molar mass</em>:

  • 8 mol H₂ * 2 g/mol = 16 g

Thus, the correct answer is option B).

What form of pollution can lichens be a good indicator of?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Lichens can be used as air pollution indicators, especially of the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. Lichens are organisms that grow in exposed places such as rocks or tree bark. They need to be very efficient at absorbing water and nutrients to grow there.

When an apple or banana is cut, a chemical reaction with air causes the flesh to turn brown. Placing the fruit in a cold place,
PIT_PIT [208]

Apples turn brown when exposed to air because it undergoes aerial oxidation.  Due to this, when the inside of the apple is exposed to the air containing oxygen and water, it turns brown. When apple is uncut, skin of the apple protects it from this process. 


If the peeled apple in kept in the refrigerator, the oxidation reaction is greatly slowed down. This is because, rate of chemical reaction decreases with temperature. Hence, in refrigerator it would take several days for it to turn brown.
