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).

450g of chromium(iii) sulfate reacts with excess potassium phosphate. How many grams of potassium sulfate will be produced? (ANS
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

1597.959 g  

Explanation:

Given Data:

Amount of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ = 450 g

Amount of potassium phosphate K₃PO₄ = in Excess

grams of potassium sulfate K₂SO₄= ?

Solution

The Reaction will be

                 Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄  ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

Information that we have from reaction

                Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄  ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

                    1 mol          2 mol                   3 mol

we come to know from the above reaction that

1 mole of chromium(iii) sulfate (Cr₂(SO₄)₃) react with 2 mole of potassium phosphate (K₃PO₄) to produce 3 mole of K₂SO₄

We also know that

molar mass of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ = 147 g/mol

molar mass of K₃PO₄ = 212 g/mol

molar mass of K₂SO₄ = 174 g/mol

if we represent mole in grams then

      Cr₂(SO₄)₃             +       2K₃PO₄          ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

       1 mol (147 g/mol)         2 mol  (212 g/mol)      3 mol  (174g/mol)

So, Now we have the following details

          Cr₂(SO₄)₃  +  2K₃PO₄          ----------> 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

              147 g         424 g                           522 g

So,

we come to know that 147 g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ combine with 424 g of 2K₃PO₄ produce  522 g of K₂SO₄

So now we calculate that how many grams of potassium sulfate will be produced

Apply unity formula

              147 g of  Cr₂(SO₄)₃  ≅ 522 g of K₂SO₄

              450 g of  Cr₂(SO₄)₃  ≅ ? g of K₂SO₄

by doing cross multiplication

g of K₂SO₄ =522 g x 450 g / 147 g

g of K₂SO₄ =  1597.959 g

So the write answer is  1597.959 g  

***Note: By calculation it is obvious that the correct answer is  1597.959 g

Predict the products when cyclohexanol is dehydrated.
lubasha [3.4K]
<span>When cyclohexanol is dehydrated using various means it creates a new hydrocarbon. This new hydrocarbon is called cyclohexene. Cyclohexene is a liquid which has no color, yet has a very strong smell to it. It is used in common industrial processes, but is also considered somewhat unstable due to it's tendency to form peroxides when exposed to light.</span>
