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).

Which statement best describes the amount of catalyst that remains at the end of a reaction?
Ivenika [448]
I believe the correct answer is C. The amount of catalyst is the same at the end as at the beginning of the reaction. Catalysts can't be consumed by the reaction thus is not D.

Calculate the % composition of the unknown liquid using your most precise result. It is a mixture of ethanol (D[ETOH] = 0.7890 g
Rufina [12.5K]

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water  = 65.49%

<h3>What is density?</h3>

A material's density is defined as its mass per unit volume.

Given data:

The density of ethanol = 0.7890 g/mL

The density of water = 0.9982 g/mL

The density of mixture = 0.926 g/mL

Let the % composition of ethanol = x

Let the % composition of water = 100-x

Now density of the mixture

\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass = \frac{percent  \;of  \;ethanol  \;X  \;density  \;of  \;ethanol  \;+  \\ \;percent  \;of  \;water X  \;density  \;of  \;water}{100}

0.926 = \frac{x X  0.7890 g/mL  \;+  (100-x) X  0.9982 g/mL}{100}

x= 34.51 %

Hence,

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water = 65.49%
