The mass number plays an important role for elements and their isotopes. Mass number comes from the addition of protons and neutrons (their weight). Isotopes are the elements, but with a different number of neutrons. So in turn, by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass, you can find the number of neutrons.
Answer:
ΔS° = -268.13 J/K
Explanation:
Let's consider the following balanced equation.
3 NO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → 2 HNO₃(l) + NO(g)
We can calculate the standard entropy change of a reaction (ΔS°) using the following expression:
ΔS° = ∑np.Sp° - ∑nr.Sr°
where,
ni are the moles of reactants and products
Si are the standard molar entropies of reactants and products
ΔS° = [2 mol × S°(HNO₃(l)) + 1 mol × S°(NO(g))] - [3 mol × S°(NO₂(g)) + 1 mol × S°(H₂O(l))]
ΔS° = [2 mol × 155.6 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 210.76 J/K.mol] - [3 mol × 240.06 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 69.91 J/k.mol]
ΔS° = -268.13 J/K
I think it would be A because hazardous waste would most likely be found in dust, fumes etc. I'm not sure though.
