Sugar has a lower melting point than salt because sugar is made of _________.
il63 [147K]
The correct answer is Crystals.

Unlike sugar, salt is not made out of crystals, but both salt and sugar are made out of atoms, that is molecules, and can have ions.

Cracking the periodic table code why aren't the elements listed in alphabetical order answer key
finlep [7]

The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.


For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.


You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.


You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.


So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.

Calculate the standard entropy change for the following reactions at 25°C.
Art [367]

Answer:

(a) ΔSº = 216.10 J/K

(b) ΔSº = - 56.4 J/K

(c) ΔSº = 273.8 J/K

Explanation:

We know the standard entropy change for a given reaction is given by the sum of the entropies of the products minus the entropies of reactants.

First we need to find in an appropiate reference table the standard  molar entropies entropies, and then do the calculations.

(a)        C2H5OH(l)          +        3 O2(g)         ⇒        2 CO2(g)     +    3 H2O(g)

Sº            159.9                          205.2                         213.8                  188.8

(J/Kmol)

ΔSº = [ 2(213.8) + 3(188.8) ]   - [ 159.9  + 3(205.) ]  J/K

ΔSº = 216.10 J/K

(b)         CS2(l)               +         3 O2(g)               ⇒      CO2(g)      +      2 SO2(g)

Sº          151.0                              205.2                         213.8                 248.2

(J/Kmol)

ΔSº  = [ 213.8 + 2(248.2) ] - [ 151.0 + 3(205.2) ] J/K = - 56.4 J/K

(c)        2 C6H6(l)           +        15 O2(g)                     12 CO2(g)     +     6 H2O(g)

Sº           173.3                           205.2                           213.8                    188.8

(J/Kmol)  

ΔSº  = [ 12(213.8) + 6(188.8) ] - [ 2(173.3) + 15( 205.2) ] = 273.8 J/K

Whenever possible we should always verify if our answer makes sense. Note that the signs for the entropy change agree with the change in mol gas. For example in reaction (b) we are going from 4  total mol gas reactants to 3, so the entropy change will be negative.

Note we need to multiply the entropies of each substance by  its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.
