Which of the following processes would you predict to have an increase in entropy?

1 answer:

6 0

C. Melting ice.
It is C because melting ice is a change of state from solid to liquid which requires an addition of energy(or entropy) into the system.
Condensation of water occurs from a gas to a liquid state, which takes energy out of the system(water) and gives it to the surroundings(air around it). Freezing water is the same as condensation except for the state change. Deposition is simply gas to a solid instantaneously so you can again see it as with the other two examples.

Answer:hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen

Explanation:

Haemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment in blood. It performs this function because of the presence of iron at the center of the haemoglobin which coordinates reversibly with oxygen thereby aiding delivery of oxygen to cells. At high altitudes where air is thinner and the partial pressure of oxygen is lower than sea level, haemoglobin must develop a greater affinity for oxygen in order to carry the scarce oxygen to cells.

How many grams of Cl2 are consumed to produce 12.0 g of KCl?

Alla [95]

The reaction is:

Cl2 + 2 KBr --> 2 KCl + Br2

Moles of KCl is

n = m /M = 12 /74 = 0.16 mol

As, twice the moles of KCl is producing from 1 mol of chlorine

mole of Cl2 = 0.16 /2 = 0.08 mol

Mass of Cl2

m /70 = 0.08 = 5.6 g

Hence, 5.6 g mol Cl2 consumed to produce KCl

Determine the mass of CuSO4 • 5H20 that must be used to prepare 250mL of 2.01 M CuSO4(aq).

mario62 [17]

Given parameters:

Volume of CuSO₄ = 250mL

Concentration of CuSO₄ = 2.01M

Unknown:

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = ?

To solve this problem, we must write the chemical relationship between both species.;

CuSO₄.5H₂O → CuSO₄ + 5H₂O

Now that we know the expression, it is possible to solve for the unknown mass.

First find the number of moles of CuSO₄;

Number of moles = Concentration x Volume

Take 250mL to L so as to ensure uniformity of units;

Volume = 250 x 10⁻³L

Input the parameters and solve for number of moles;

Number of moles = 250 x 10⁻³ x 2.01 = 0.5mol

From the equation;

1 mole of CuSO₄ is produced from 1 mole of CuSO₄.5H₂O

So 0.5 moles of CuSO₄ will be produced from 0.5 moles of CuSO₄.5H₂O

Now let us find the molar mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = 63.6 + 32 + 4(16) + 5(2x1 + 16) = 249.6g/mole

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = number of moles x molar mass

= 0.5 x 249.6

= 124.8g

The mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 124.8g
