Explanation:
Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of system. Basically it refers to how random a system is.
Gong through the options.
A. The phase change is from solid to liquid. Liquid has a greater degree of disorderliness compared to solid hence entropy is increasing.
B. The phase change is from solid to gas. Gas particles has a greater degree of disorderliness compared to solid hence entropy is increasing.
C. The phase change is from aqueous to liquid. Aqueous solutions has a greater degree of disorderliness compared to liquid hence entropy is decreasing.
D. The reactant side has; solid + gas. In the product side, there is only gas. The product side has a greater degree of disorderliness hence the entropy is increasing.
E. The entropy of the product is greater than the entropy of the reactants hence entropy is increasing.
F. The phase change is from aqueous to solid. Aqueous solutions has a greater degree of disorderliness compared to solid hence entropy is decreasing.
Answer:
Option (d) chlorine has a greater ionization energy than sodium
Explanation:
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. Sodium has just 1 electron in it's outmost shell and chlorine has 7.
Sodium needs 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration and chlorine needs just 1.
Sodium can not attract 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration instead it will easily lose the 1 electron in it's outmost shell to form cation. On the other hand, it will be difficult for chlorine to lose any of it's outmost electrons. This makes chlorine to have higher ionization energy than sodium.
Answer:
B. One element and one compound
Explanation:
O2 is a diatomic element: "are pure elements that form molecules consisting of two atoms bonded together"
*there are 7 types of diatomic elements
and...
C8H12O6 is a compound
Chemical Compound can be described as "a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules composed of atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds"
Answer:
Explanation:
To make a distinction in favor of or against a person or thing on basic or group, class or category, to which the person or thing(s) belong
Answer:
1. There are so many ethical concerns about biotechnology, some Ethical issues that arise from the application of modern biotechnologies include:
Discrimination of individuals because of their health or health history as a result of knowing their genetic information, minimizing harms while maximizing benefits, Interference with nature, privacy.
2. a. Plants (maize, rice)
b. Fish (GloFish)
3. For individuals, biotechnology has helped in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. For society, biotechnology saves time, improves the health and quality of food through a reduction in the use of pesticides and it can create new viruses and bacteria that cause diseases. Biotechnology could address global change since more genetically modified plants are grown.
