Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.
is positive when randomness increases and is negative when randomness decreases.
a)
As ions are moving to solid form , randomness decreases and thus sign of is negative.
b)
As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
c)
As 2 moles of reactants are converted to 4 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
d)
As gas is changing to solid, randomness decreases and thus sign of is negative.
e)
As 7 moles of reactants are converted to 8 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
f)
As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
Increasing order of strength needed to break bonds:
temporary dipole induced dipole interactions
Permanent dipole induced dipole interactions
Hydrogen bonding
Answer:
The correct answer is: <em>They each partially describe the bonding in a molecule.</em>
Explanation:
Some chemical molecules cannot be described completely by using only one Lewis structure. In these cases, we can describe the molecule by drawing 2 or more Lewis structures, and the structures are called <u>resonance structures</u>. The overall molecular structure is explained by all the resonance structures together. So, they each describe the bonding in the molecule only partially.
The law of conservation of mass dictates that the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. Thus:
mass(MgO) = mass(Mg) + mass(O)
mass(MgO) = 24 + 16
mass(MgO) = 40 g
The third option is correct.
