Answer: a. A solid melts: \Delta S=+ve

b. a vapor is converted to solid: \Delta S=-ve

c. a liquid freezes:  \Delta S=-ve

d. A solid sublimes:  \Delta S=+ve

e.  a vapor condenses to liquid :  \Delta S=-ve

f. a liquid boils:   \Delta S=+ve

g. dissolving a tablespoon of salt in water:  \Delta S=+ve

h. combustion of gasoline:  \Delta S=+ve

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy change is negative and vice versa.

a. A solid melts: The solid is converting to liquid, thus the randomness is increasing as the molecules are moving away and the intermolecular forces are getting weaker. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

b. a vapor is converted to solid: The gas  is converting to solid, thus the randomness is decreasing as the molecules are moving close and the intermolecular forces are getting stronger Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is negative.

c. a liquid freezes: The liquid is converting to solid, thus the randomness is decreasing as the molecules are moving close and the intermolecular forces are getting stronger. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is negative.

d. A solid sublimes: The solid is converting to gas, thus the randomness is increasing as the molecules are moving away and the intermolecular forces are getting weaker. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

e.  a vapor condenses to liquid : The gas  is converting to liquid, thus the randomness is decreasing as the molecules are moving close and the intermolecular forces are getting stronger. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is negative.

f. a liquid boils: The liquid is converting to gas, thus the randomness is increasing as the molecules are moving away and the intermolecular forces are getting weaker. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

g. dissolving a tablespoon of salt in water: The solid is converting to ions , thus the randomness is increasing as the ions can move freely. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

h. combustion of gasoline: The liquid is converting to gas, thus the randomness is increasing as the molecules are moving away and the intermolecular forces are getting weaker. Thus the entropy change (\Delta S) is positive.

The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water at 100°C is 2257 kJ/kg. Determine the enthalpy for apordato of iuod eeat capacity o
igomit [66]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         T_{1} = 100^{o}C,       T_{2} = 10^{o}C

       \Delta H_{vap1} = 2257 kJ/kg,     \Delta H_{vap2} = ?

For water, C_{p} = 4.184 kJ/kg ^{o}C

Formula to calculate heat of vaporization is as follows.

  \Delta H_{vap1} - \Delta H_{vap2} = C_{p}(T_{1} - T_{2})

Hence, putting the values into the above formula as follows.

\Delta H_{vap1} - \Delta H_{vap2} = C_{p}(T_{1} - T_{2})

2257 kJ/kg - \Delta H_{vap2} = 4.184 kJ/kg ^{o}C (100 - 10)^{o}C

            \Delta H_{vap2} = 2257 kJ/kg - 376.56 kJ/kg

                                       = 1880.44 kJ/kg

Thus, we can conclude that enthalpy of liquid water at 10^{o}C is 1880.44 kJ/kg.

How does the periodic table tell me if a element is solid, liquid, gas, or man made?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

if you search up the periodic table and go to any website it will let you press on the element and it will say if it is a gas,solid or liquid and it might say if it is man made!

Assign each species to the expression that most accurately describes the basic units of that substance. categories: single atoms
Temka [501]
Atoms are the smallest form of the substance. examples of atoms are in elemental forms such as copper, helium, silver. Diatomic molecules are made up of identical atoms. Examples are I2.. F2 and Br2. Formula units are those compounds that are made up of two or more elements such as -No2, KMnO4,<span>C3H8, MgCl2, HgBr2, Ba(OH)2</span>

4.Identify each substance in the following word equation as a reactant or a product
Anastaziya [24]

Explanation:

4.                 limestone heat lime + carbon dioxide

The reactants in this expression above is limestone

The products of the reaction is carbon dioxide and lime

Reactant is the species that gives the product and it is usually found on the left hand side of the expression.

The product is the substance on the right hand side of the expression that forms through the experiment.

Heat is used to facilitate the reaction.

5. An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is given off.

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is absorbed in the process.

An exothermic reaction is always warmer after the reaction whereas an endothermic reaction is colder at the end of the reaction.

How do I solve this problem?
JulijaS [17]
First question. Applying ideal gas equation PV=nRT, P= 101.3 x 10³Pa = 1atm. therefore, 1 x 260 x 10^-3 = n x 0.082 x 294.( Temperature in kelvin=273+21). n = 0.01 moles. Volume of gas at STP= n x 22.4 = 0.01x22.4 = 0.224L. Hope this helps
