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

How many atoms are in 2.10 g of K? molar mass of K=39.10g/mole.
Alborosie

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

To calculate the number of atoms we must first calculate the number of moles

Molar mass = mass / number of moles

number of moles = mass / Molar mass

Molar mass (K) = 39.10mole

mass = 2.10g

number of moles = 2.10/ 39.10

= 0.0537mol

After that we use the formula

N = n × L

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10^23 entities

Number of K atoms is

N = 0.0537 × 6.02 × 10^13

<h3>N = 3.23×10^22 atoms of K</h3>

Hope this helps you.

A 10 gram sample of iron reacts with oxygen to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide. How many grams of oxygen reacted?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.2 \ grams}}

Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.

  • mass products = mass reactants

In this problem, the reaction is:

iron + oxygen = ferric \ oxygen

  • The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams.
  • The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.

10 \ g + oxygen=18.2 \ g

We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

10 \ g - 10 \ g+ oxygen = 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g

oxygen= 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g

oxygen= 8.2 \ g \\

<u>8.2 grams of oxygen </u>reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.

Which of the following conditions would speed up the rate of decomposition? (Select
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

E and B

Explanation:

the warmer the weather the faster it will decompose, this why is why sometimes bodies last longer frozen, or in cool temperatures.

that statement takes a out.

An illness shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Weight also shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Being buried can make bodies decompose fast because of all the bugs and other animals that will get down there and decompose it faster

Answer: B,E
