It means to change, and form means shape. So to transform is to change shape.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: The molecules of oxygen gas that will be reduced to water are 42 molecules

Explanation:

We are given:

$E^o_{(NO_2^-/NH_4)}=-0.41V\\E^o_{(O_2/H_2O)}=0.82V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, oxygen will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

$NH_4$ will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

The half reactions follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $NH_4\rightarrow NO_2^-+6e^-$ ( × 4)

Reduction half reaction: $O_2+4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O$ ( × 6)

Overall reaction: $4NH_4+6O_2\rightarrow 4NO_2^-+12H_2O$

We are given:

Molecules of $NH_4$ = 28

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 molecules of $NH_4$ reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen gas

So, 28 molecules of $NH_4$ will react with = $\frac{6}{4}\times 28=42$ molecules of oxygen gas

Hence, the molecules of oxygen gas that will be reduced to water are 42 molecules

An ideal gas contained in a piston-cylinder assembly is compressed isothermally in an internally reversible process.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a) $\Delta S$

b) entropy of the sistem equal to a), entropy of the universe grater than a).

Explanation:

a) The change of entropy for a reversible process:

$\delta S=\frac{\delta Q}{T}$

$\Delta S=\frac{Q}{T}$

The energy balance:

$\delta U=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W$

If the process is isothermical the U doesn't change:

$0=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W$

$\delta Q= \delta W$

$Q= W$

The work:

$W=\int_{V1}^{V2}P*dV$

If it is an ideal gas:

$P=\frac{n*R*T}{V}$

$W=\int_{V1}^{V2}\frac{n*R*T}{V}*dV$

Solving:

$W=n*R*T*ln(V2/V1)$

Replacing:

$\Delta S=\frac{n*R*T*ln(V2/V1)}{T}$

$\Delta S=n*R*ln(V2/V1)}$

Given that it's a compression: V2<V1 and ln(V2/V1)<0. So:

$\Delta S$

b) The entropy change of the sistem will be equal to the calculated in a), but the change of entropy of the universe will be 0 in a) (reversible process) and in b) has to be positive given that it is an irreversible process.

<h3>What is a radioactive isotope?</h3>

A radioactive isotope is an element in nature that emit radioactivity in a given period of time (e.g., the half-life for C14 is equal to 5,730 years).

Radioactive dating is a technique to measure the age of an element by measuring its radioactive activity.

In conclusion, charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 yr.
