Atoms cannot be created or destroyed by chemical reactions. They just have a some bonds rearranged is all.
Answer;
A) Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.
Explanation;
-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic compounds such as simple sugars together with release of oxygen.
-The process occurs in tow stages; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. During light dependent stage, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms. In the light independent stage carbon (iv) dioxide is fixed and the result is organic compound; the light energy is converted to chemical energy.
Answer:
(a) ΔSº = 216.10 J/K
(b) ΔSº = - 56.4 J/K
(c) ΔSº = 273.8 J/K
Explanation:
We know the standard entropy change for a given reaction is given by the sum of the entropies of the products minus the entropies of reactants.
First we need to find in an appropiate reference table the standard molar entropies entropies, and then do the calculations.
(a) C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) ⇒ 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g)
Sº 159.9 205.2 213.8 188.8
(J/Kmol)
ΔSº = [ 2(213.8) + 3(188.8) ] - [ 159.9 + 3(205.) ] J/K
ΔSº = 216.10 J/K
(b) CS2(l) + 3 O2(g) ⇒ CO2(g) + 2 SO2(g)
Sº 151.0 205.2 213.8 248.2
(J/Kmol)
ΔSº = [ 213.8 + 2(248.2) ] - [ 151.0 + 3(205.2) ] J/K = - 56.4 J/K
(c) 2 C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) 12 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g)
Sº 173.3 205.2 213.8 188.8
(J/Kmol)
ΔSº = [ 12(213.8) + 6(188.8) ] - [ 2(173.3) + 15( 205.2) ] = 273.8 J/K
Whenever possible we should always verify if our answer makes sense. Note that the signs for the entropy change agree with the change in mol gas. For example in reaction (b) we are going from 4 total mol gas reactants to 3, so the entropy change will be negative.
Note we need to multiply the entropies of each substance by its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.
