Answer:
D
Explanation:
There are principally three states of matter. These are the solid, liquid and gaseous states. The gaseous state has the highest degree of disorderliness as gas particles can move randomly while the solid state has the highest level of compactness.
Hence, we need to be adequately fed with information as regards the phase change to know if entropy has decreased or increased.
A. is wrong
Evaporation is a change of state to the gaseous state meaning there is an increased entropy.
B. is wrong
Sublimation is a change of state which means a solid substance like iodine or naphthalene changes its state directly to the gaseous state. There is an increased entropy here too.
C is wrong
Melting of ice means going from ice block to liquid water. This is synonymous to going from the solid state to the liquid state which is an increased entropy
D is correct
Condensation involves going from the gaseous state to the liquid state. This means going from a less ordered state to a more ordered state. This is accompanied by an entropy decrease.
E is wrong
While there are some processes that increase entropy, we also have some process that decrease entropy.
Answer:
2.5 mol Cl2 will react with 5 mol Na.
Explanation:
Answer:
this is basically structure of iso cyanic acid
Answer:
a. AlCl is incorrect because Al has a +3 charge while Cl only has a -1 charge. The correct formula would be AlCl₃. This balances the charges.
b. Na₃SO₄ is incorrect because Na has a charge of +1 and there are three of them so its +3 and SO₄ has a charge of -2. The correct formula would be Na₂SO₄. This balances the charges.
c. BaOH₂ is incorrect because the polyatomic ion OH would not be written that way. It would be written like this Ba(OH)₂. Writing it like BaOH₂ gives the impression that instead of having 2 OH it has 2 H and 1 O.
d. Fe₂O is incorrect because Fe either has a +2 charge or +3 charge while O has a -2 charge. Possible correct answers could be FeO (iron (II) oxide) or Fe₂O₃ (iron (III) oxide).
