Answer:
Any substance that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by ordinary chemical processes.
Another definition:
An element is the simplest pure substance which can neither be split nor built up from other simpler substances by chemical reaction
The method is called the displacement method.
You place some water in the graduated cylinder and measure its volume.
Then you add your object and measure the new volume.
The difference between the two volumes is the volume of your object.
1) acid
2) ether
3) ester
4) aldehyde
5) ketone
6) amine
7) alcohol
Answer:
A reaction is non-spontaneous at any temperature when the Gibbs free energy > 0.
Explanation:
There is a state function, that determines if a reaction is sponaneous or non spontaneous:
ΔG = Gibbs free energy
A reaction is non spontaneous when it does require energy to produce that reaction. It will be spontaneous, when the reaction does not require energy to be occured.
The formula is: ΔG = ΔH - T.ΔS
ΔH → Enthalpy → Energy gained or realeased as heat.
ΔH < 0 → <em>Exothermic reaction. Spontaneity is favored
</em>
T → Temperature
ΔS → Entropy → Degree of disorder of a system.
When the system has a considered disorder ΔS > 0, disorder increases.
When the system is more ordered, ΔS < 0, disorder decreases.
The reaction will be non spontaneous if, the enthalpy is positive (endothermic reaction) and the ΔS < 0 (disorder decreases). It will not occur if we do not give energy.
ΔG < 0 → Spontaneous reaction
ΔG > 0 → Non spontaneous reaction
ΔG = 0 → System in equilibrium
