Explanation:
Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of system. Basically it refers to how random a system is.
Gong through the options.
A. The phase change is from solid to liquid. Liquid has a greater degree of disorderliness compared to solid hence entropy is increasing.
B. The phase change is from solid to gas. Gas particles has a greater degree of disorderliness compared to solid hence entropy is increasing.
C. The phase change is from aqueous to liquid. Aqueous solutions has a greater degree of disorderliness compared to liquid hence entropy is decreasing.
D. The reactant side has; solid + gas. In the product side, there is only gas. The product side has a greater degree of disorderliness hence the entropy is increasing.
E. The entropy of the product is greater than the entropy of the reactants hence entropy is increasing.
F. The phase change is from aqueous to solid. Aqueous solutions has a greater degree of disorderliness compared to solid hence entropy is decreasing.
Explanation:
The rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. Reaction rates can vary dramatically.
Answer:
20 electrons
A neutral atom with atomic number 20 will have 20 electrons.
The atomic number is, by definiton, the number of protons in an atom's nucleus but for a neutral atom it's also equal to the number of electrons. Each element has a different, unique number of protons that determines its identity.
