Answer:

detail is given below.

Explanation:

This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

The given equation is balanced chemical equation of photosynthesis. There are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

If equation is not balanced,

CO₂ + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

It can not follow the law of conservation of mass because mass is not equal on both side of equation.

Calculate δs∘rxn for the reaction2no(g) o2(g)→2no2(g)express your answer to one decimal place and include the appropriate units

Anna35 [415]

The δs∘rxn for the reaction $2NO(g) + O_{2}$ → $2NO_{2} (g)$ will be -146 J/K.

Entropy would be a measurable physical characteristic and a scientific notion that is frequently connected to a condition of disorder, unpredictability, or uncertainty.

Entropy would be a measurement of the system's unpredictability or disorder. The entropy increases as randomness do. It has broad properties as well as a state function. It has the unit $JK^{-1} mol^{-1}$ .

Entropy of the reaction can be calculated by the reaction.

Δ $S^{0} rxn$ = 2 mol × $S^{0} (NO_{2} (g) - 2 mol$ × $S^{0} NO (g)$ - 1 mol × $S^{0} (O_{2} )$

Δ $S^{0} rxn$ = 2 mol × 240 J/mol.K - 2 mol × 210 J/mol.K-1 mol ×205.2 J/mol.K

Δ $S^{0} rxn$ = -146.8 J/K

Therefore, the δs∘rxn for the reaction $2NO(g) + O_{2}$ → $2NO_{2} (g)$ will be -146 J/K.

2. Which energy source is considered a non-renewable resource?

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

Although natural processes continually form fossil fuels, such fuels are generally classified as non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form and the known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being made. ... The use of fossil fuels raises serious environmental concerns.
