An extinction event is a widespread and rapid decrease in the biodiversity on Earth. Such an event is identified by a sharp change in the diversity and abundance of multicellular organisms. It occurs when the rate of extinction increases with respect to the rate of speciation. -Wikipedia

Consider the following reaction at 298 K:
faltersainse [42]

Answer :

\Delta S_{sys} = -1622.8 J/K

\Delta S_{surr} = -94.6 J/K

\Delta S_{univ} = 0 J/K

Explanation :  Given,

\Delta H = -483.6 kJ

The given chemical reaction is:

2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)

First we have to calculate the value of \Delta S_{sys}.

\Delta S_{sys}=\frac{\Delta H}{T}

\Delta S_{sys}=\frac{-483.6kJ}{298K}

\Delta S_{sys}=-1.6228kJ/K=-1622.8J/K

Entropy of system = -1622.8 J/K

As we know that:

Entropy of system = -Entropy of surrounding = 1622.8 J/K

and,

Entropy of universe = Entropy of system + Entropy of surrounding

Entropy of universe = -1622.8 J/K + (1622.8 J/K)

Entropy of universe = 0

(d) Solid lithium nitride conducts electricity and is used in batteries. Why would you expect solid lithium nitride not to condu
guapka [62]

Answer:

Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are held firmly in place. The ions cannot move to conduct the electric current. But when an ionic compound melts, the charged ions are free to move. Therefore, molten ionic compounds do conduct electricity.
