Alright, so this question covers the subject of spontaneous reactions. Reactions tend to be spontaneous if the products have a lower potential energy than the reactants or when the product molecules are less ordered than the reactant molecules. This may seem a little confusing but to put it simply, spontaneous reactions occur naturally.
This means there is no external force for the reaction, usually exothermic, and increases entropy. Gibbs free energy change helps us determine if the reaction is spontaneous:
delta G= delta H -T(delta S) spontaneous if delta G<0
Remember that H stands for enthalpy, or potential energy; T is for temperature; and S is entropy, the amount of disorder(spontaneous reactions increase in entropy take for ice to liquid water).
- delta H= exothermic
The reaction in the problem releases heat so the enthalpy is negative.
delta S increases with increased temperature
The entropy will be positive.
Plugging this in the Gibbs equation, you can assume delta G will be less than 0.
Therefore, the answer is B. Sorry for the long and possibly not helpful explanation. I'm learning this material currently myself. Best of luck!
<span>4 Na + O</span>₂<span> = 2 Na</span>₂<span>O
</span>
4* 23 g Na --------> 16 g O₂
9.5 g Na ------------> ?
Mass of O₂ = 9.5 * 16 / 4 * 23
Mass = 152 / 92
Mass = 1.6521 g of O₂
Molar mass O₂ = 16.0 g/mol
1 mole O₂ ------------ 16.0 g
? mole O₂ ------------ 1.6521 g
mole O₂ = 1.6521 * 1 / 16.0
≈ 0.10325 moles of O₂
hope this helps!
Answer:
pH = 5.00
Explanation:
The pH is an unit of concentration widely used in chemistry and quality control of aqueous solutions. It serves to find the security of a product to human or pet consumption. Is defined as:
pH = -log [H+]
That means, the pH of a solution that is [H+] = 1.00x10⁻⁵M:
<h3>pH = 5.00</h3>
C. air, fire, water, earth. 4 elements
