Answer:

atmospheric circulation

Explanation:

Atmospheric circulation occurs because the Sun heats the Earth more at the equator than at the poles.

Warm air is known to rise at the tropics which lies closer to the equator and moves towards the poles. Atmospheric circulation is driven by the rotation of the earth.

The air cools and flows back towards the Equator to be warmed up again. A sort of convection current is thereby set up.

Assume that silver and gold form ideal, random mixtures. Calculate the mass of pure Ag needed to cause an entropy increase of 20

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

$m_{Ag}=2,265.9g$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the definition of entropy in a random mixture is:

$\Delta S=-n_TR\Sigma[x_i*ln(x_i)]$

For this silver-gold mixture we write:

$\Delta S=-(n_{Au}+n_{Ag})R\Sigma[\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )+\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )]$

By knowing the moles of gold:

$n_{Au}=100g*\frac{1mol}{197g} =0.508mol$

It is possible to write the aforementioned formula in terms of the variable $x$ representing the moles of silver:

$20\frac{J}{mol}=-(0.508+x)8.314\frac{J}{mol*K} \Sigma[\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} )+\frac{x}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{x}{0.508+x} )]$

Which can be solved via Newton-Raphson or a solver software, in this case, I will provide you the answer:

$x=n_{Ag}=21.0molAg$

So the mass is:

$m_{Ag}=21.0mol*\frac{107.9g}{1mol}\\ \\m_{Ag}=2,265.9g$

Best regards!
