The entropy of a system denoted by S is a thermodynamic function that increases in value when there are more ways to arrange the particles in the system. Some spontaneous chemical processes are entropy driven. An increase in entropy is said to drive the dissolution of ionic salts along with the evaporation of water are related to the spreading out of energy.

The entropy of a system can be taken as a measure of disorder of a system. In a spontaneous chemical process, the entropy of the universe is said to increase. ΔSunivu>0. Making the answer true.

A substance decays so that the amount a of the substance left at time t is given by: a = a0 ∙ (0.8)t where a0 is the original am

Zolol [24]

The half-life of the substance is 3.106 years.

<h3>What is the formula for exponential decay?</h3>

The exponential decline, which is a rapid reduction over time, can be calculated with the use of the exponential decay formula.
The exponential decay formula is used to determine population decay, half-life, radioactivity decay, and other phenomena.
The general form is F(x) = a.

Here,

a = the initial amount of substance

1-r is the decay rate

x = time span

The equation is given in its correct form as follows:

a = $a_{0}$ × $(0.8)^{t}$

As this is an exponential decay of a first order reaction, t is an exponent of 0.8.

Now let's figure out the half life. Since the amount left is half of the initial amount at time t, that is when:

a = 0.5 a0

<h3>Substituting this into the equation:</h3>

0.5 $a_{0}$ = $a_{0}$ × $(0.8)^{t}$

0.5 = $(0.8)^{t}$

taking log on both sides

t log 0.8 = log 0.5

t = log 0.5/log 0.8

t = 3.106 years

The half-life of the substance is 3.106 years.

you wish to make a 0.161 m hydroiodic acid solution from a stock solution of 3.00 m hydroiodic acid. how much concentrated acid

mestny [16]

5.367 ml of the concentrated acid must be added to obtain a total volume of 100 ml of the dilute solution.

Dilution is defined as the process in which the concentration of a sample is decreased by adding more solvent. The dilution formula is given below.

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

where C₁ = initial concentration of sample = 3.00 m

V₁ = initial volume of sample

C₂ = final concentration after dilution = 0.161 m

V₂ = total final volume after dilution = 100 ml

Plug in the values to the formula and solve for the volume of the concentrated acid that must be added.

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

3.00 m (V₁) = 0.161 m (100 ml)

V₁ = 5.367 ml
