Answer:

SO < CO2 < C3H8

Explanation:

Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system. The standard molar entropy of a substance refers to the entropy of 1 mole of the substance vunder standard conditions.

The molar entropy depends on the number of microstates in the system which in turn depends on the number of atoms in the molecule.

C3H8 has 11 atoms and hence the highest number of microstates followed by CO2 having three atoms and least of all SO having only two atoms.

HOW TO KNOW THAT A BOND IS IONIC OR COVELENT BY JUST LOOKING AT IT ?

adelina 88 [10]

Ionic bonds are made up of a metal and a nonmetal elements while covalent bonds are are made up of two metal. So, you can just look at the periodic table and identify which compounds have two metals and which have one metal and one nonmetal. Also, those compounds with high electronegativity difference are very likely to be ionic while the opposite is covalent. HOWEVER, some compounds can be both covalent and ionic. For instance, if HCI gas is at higher temperatures, then it is ionic while it would be covalent at room temp.

Hope I've helped.

From standard reduction potentials, calculate the equilibrium constant at 25 ∘c for the reaction 2mno−4(aq)+10cl−(aq)+16h+(aq)→2

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{57.9}}$

Explanation:

Step 1. Determine the cell potential

E°/V

2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻ → 2Mn²⁺+ 8H₂O 1.507

10Cl⁻ ⟶ 5Cl₂ + 10e⁻ -1.358 27

2MnO₄⁻ + 10Cl⁻ + 16H⁺⟶ 2Mn²⁺ + 5Cl₂ + 8H₂O 0.149

Step 2. Calculate K

The formula relating K and E is

$E = \dfrac{RT}{nF} \ln K$

E = 0.149 V

R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 25 °C = 298.15 K

n = 10

F = 96 485 C/mol

$0.149 = \dfrac{8.314 \times 298.15}{10\times 96 485} \ln K\\\\0.149 = 0.002 570 \ln K\\\\\ln K = \dfrac{0.149}{0.002570} = \textbf{57.9}$

The value of the equilibrium constant is $\boxed{\textbf{57.9}}$

Researchers want to determine the best temperatures for storing batteries. Describe a possible experiment and list the variables

Andrew [12]

How about putting one battery in the freezer while putting another by a radiator or something that gives off heat. Leave them for an hour, then place them in an object that uses batteries and time how long it takes for it to die: Note: It may take many hours for the battery to fully deplete.
