a. Organic: C₁₀H₁₆KNO₉S₂; (CH₃)₄As₂; C₆H₁₂O₆
b. Inorganic: NaAsO₂; HSiCl₃; (BiO)₂CO₃; H₂P₂O₇; H₂O; CO₂
Compounds containing <em>both C and H</em> are organic.
Compounds that are <em>not organic</em> are inorganic.
Answer:
hypochlorite ion
Explanation:
The hypochlorous acid, HClO, is a weak acid with Ka = 1.36x10⁻³, when this acid is in solution with its conjugate base, ClO⁻ (From sodium hypochlorite, NaClO) a buffer is produced. When a strong acid as HCl is added, the reaction that occurs is:
HCl + ClO⁻ → HClO + Cl⁻.
Where more hypochlorous acid is produced.
That means, the HCl reacts with the hypochlorite ion present in solution
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.
