Answer:

Mass of C = 47.37g

Mass of H = 10.59g

Mass of O = 42.04g

The total mass of these elements is 100g, taking a proportion of their molar masses.

C = 47.37/12= 3.95

H = 10.59/1 = 10.59

O = 42.04/16= 2.63.

Dividing through with the smallest proportion which is 2.63

C=3.95/2.63 = 1.5

H =10.59/2.63 =4

O = 2.63/2.63= 1

Multiplying through by 2 to get a whole number.

C = 1.5x2 = 3

H= 4x2 = 8

O = 1x2= 2

The empirical formula is C3H6O2

(Empirical formula)n= molecular mass

(C3H8O2)n =228.276

(12x3 +8+16x2)n= 228.276

76n = 228.276

n = 228.276/76

n = 3

Molecular formula = Empirical formula

=(C3H8O2)3 = C9H24O6

The molecular formula is C9H24O6

which has a higher entropy for the reaction: 2nh3(g)→n2(g) 3h2(g) which has a higher entropy for the reaction: reactants product
krok68 [10]

The one that has a higher entropy for the reaction is products.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

Entropy is a measureable physical characteristic and a scientific notion that is frequently connected to a condition of disorder, unpredictability, or uncertainty. It is the measurement of the amount of thermal energy per unit of temperature in a system that cannot be used for productive work. It is a measure of a system's molecular disorder or unpredictability since work is produced by organized molecular motion.

It should bm be noted that the entropy of gas is more than entropy of aqueous which is more than the entropy of liquid and the entropy of solid.

On the product side there are more gas than the reactant side. Therefore, product has more entropy.

Espresso Coffee House is designing a coffee mug that keeps liquids hot. The research department tested several different materia
raketka [301]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.

Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.
