Answer:

I) 1 mol of SO3(g)

2) 1 mol of CO2(g)

3) 3 mol of O2(g)

4) 1 mol of KBr(aq)

5) Seawater at 23°C

6) 1 mol of CCl4(g)

Explanation:

In molecules having greater numbers of atoms, there is an increase the number of ways by which the molecule vibrates thereby leading to a higher number of possible microstates and overall increase in entropy of the system. Hence, 1 mol of SO3(g) has a higher entropy than 1 mol of SO2.

Gases have a higher entropy than liquids and liquids have a higher entropy than gases.

Also, the greater the molecular weight of a molecule, the higher the entropy. Higher number of moles of a gas as well as the increase in temperature of a substance are also factors that lead to higher entropy.

What is the pH of a solution of RbOH with a concentration of 0.86 M? Answer to 2 decimal places

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:The pH of the solution is given by pH=−log([H3O+])

Explanation:so you can't use

−

because that's the concentration of the hydroxide anions,

A liquid-fueled rocket engine has two liquids, usually called the fuel and the oxidizer. Which two liquids are most commonly use

hammer [34]

Answer:

A liquid-fueled rocket has two liquids (liquids are good because of the density, they need less space than a gas to be stored), such that these liquids are called the fuel and the oxidizer.

These liquids are injected into a system that leads to a combustion chamber, where the liquids are mixed (we need to mix the fuel with the oxidizer to enable the combustion of the fuel) and burned to produce thrust.

Some common examples of oxidizers are liquid oxygen, which may be combined with fuels like liquid hydrogen, liquid methane, kerosene and hydrazine.

Other oxidizers are liquid fluorine (which also can be combined with the fuels liquid hydrogen and hydrazine), nitrogen tetroxide (which can be combined whit kerosene, hydrazine and other fuels) and FLOX-70, which can only be combined with kerosene.

The "most commonly used" may depend on the country and the type of liquid propellant ( petroleum, cryogens, and hypergols)

Such that the most common oxidizer may be liquid oxygen, and the most common fuel the kerosene.

What components did you collect to convert your two molecules of pyruvate to acetyl-coa?

GenaCL600 [577]

You need to have NAD+ as a source of oxidation for the pyruvate, as well as a supply of coenzyme A. CO2 is released by the pyruvate as a carboxyl group is removed

Soil erodes naturally, but human activities can greatly speed the rate of soil erosion, leading to diverse ecological effects an

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Methods of soil conservation are listed below.

Explanation:

The major sources of soil erosion include water,wind and tillage. In order to mitigate or prevent soil erosion, some of the following techniques can be implemented:

Contour Farming: Planting in row patterns that run level around a hill — as opposed to the up and down the slope pattern.This reduces runoffs and consequently water erosion.
Crop Rotation: This involves planting crops with high residue (e.g corn, small grains, e.t.c) in rotation,as the layer of residue would protect the topsoil.
Built in structural diversion : Used often for gully control, to regulate flow of water away from the field and through designated desired paths.
Conservation Tillage: This involves methods such as no-till planting, strip rotary tillage, etc, which do not allow the soil surface to be smooth and bare, but instead covered with crop residue that protects the soil from eroding forces.
