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 molecules are in 4.62 moles of nitric acid (HNO3)?
Lena [83]

Answer:

2.8x10^24

Explanation:

To convert moles to molecules, multiply the number of moles by Avagadro's number (6.02x10^23. Round if required.

4.62mol × 6.02x10^23 = 2.8x10^24

The fictional element “Nt” contains atoms with two valence electrons. Which type of intermolecular force is most likely responsi
tatuchka [14]
Ion-ion forces

Nt has two valence electrons, and bonds with F to form NtF2. This means that the ion form of Nt is Nt2+. This means that NtF2 is an ionic compound.
