Answer:

1 ) Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

2) ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Explanation:

<u>1) To show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature </u>

example :

Pick two(2) solid metal blocks with varying temperatures ( i.e. one solid block is hot and the other solid block is cold )

Place both blocks for time (t ) in an insulated system to reduce heat loss or gain to or from the environment

Check the temperature of both blocks after time ( t ) it will be observed that both blocks will have same temperature after time t ( first law of thermodynamics )

Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

<u>2) Entropy change for Decomposition of mercuric oxide </u>

2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)

Δs = positive

there is transition from solid to liquid and the melting point of mercury ( the point at which reaction will take place ) = 500⁰C

hence ΔSdecomposition = S⁻ Hg  -  S⁻ HgO =

Δh of reaction = 181.6 KJ

Temp = 500 + 273 = 773 k

hence ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Which of the following does not change the energy of the reactants relative to the activation energy?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Adding a catalyst

Explanation:

  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
  • A Catalyst is a material that increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy. In other words, a catalyst act to provide an alternative route for the reaction which has a lower activation energy.

Answer : first opinion and also last
Expiation : Note that these last two reactions, and 2H + 2H → 4He + γ, .Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two nuclei are combined to form a larger nucleus. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two nuclei are combined, or fused, to form a larger nucleus. We know that all nuclei have less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that form them. The missing mass times c2 equals the binding energy of the nucleus—the greater the binding energy, the greater the missing mass.

Briefly describe four ways that a beam can be strengthened?​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

1. Changing Beam Material

2. Corrugation

3. Changing Beam form

4. Steel Reinforcing Bars

Explanation:

Changing Beam Material

Some materials are stronger when used in beams than others. Beams made of steel for instance are stronger than beams made of wood. Therefore changing material can improve the strength of the beam. It is quite important to take into account the weights of the material though as different structures have different requirements.

Corrugation.

You can fold the beam into triangular shapes to increase strength. If you look at roofs you will notice that they are folded and this increased their strength. The same logic can be applied to beams.

Changing Beam Form

Another way to make Beams stronger is to change their form or rather their shape. Straight beams are not as strong as I-beams for instance. I-beams look like the capital letter I with the lines at both ends. I-beams are usually used in construction which shows that they are quite strong.

Steel Reinforcing Bars

When placed in concrete beams, Steel Reinforcing Bars which are also called Rebar can help strengthen a beam by helping it withstand the forces of tension. A concrete beam with Rebar inside it is known as Reinforced Concrete.
