Q: What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0 °C? (Lf = 3.34 x 105 J/kg)
Answer:
-3670.33 J/K
Explanation:
Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a substance. The S.I unit of Entropy is J/K.
Mathematically, change of Entropy can be expressed as,
ΔS = ΔH/T ....................................... Equation 1
Where ΔS = Change of entropy, ΔH = heat change, T = temperature.
ΔH = -(Lf×m).................................... Equation 2
Note: ΔH is negative because heat is lost.
Where Lf = latent heat of ice = 3.34×10⁵ J/kg, m = 3.0 kg, m = mass of water = 3.0 kg
Substitute into equation
ΔH = -(3.34×10⁵×3.0)
ΔH = - 1002000 J.
But T = 0 °C = (0+273) K = 273 K.
Substitute into equation 1
ΔS = -1002000/273
ΔS = -3670.33 J/K
Note: The negative value of ΔS shows that the entropy of water decreases when it is changed to ice at 0 °C

To prevent the hydrolysis and to catalyse the reaction.
Explanation:
- Sulphuric acid is the catalyst and also a dehydrating agent in this reaction.
- Sulphuric acid is using in redox reaction because sulphuric acid is providing H+ ions which is necessary for this reaction to occur more quickly, but the sulphate ions from the sulphuric acid barely react during this process. So H2SO4 is adding in this reaction to make it more acidic.
- H2SO4 is preventing hydrolysis by providing excess H+ ions into the reaction. H2SO4 is stable towards the direction of oxidation.
Nuclear decay or radioactive decay is a process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy that is in terms of its mass. The radioactivity may cause an atom to lose whichever of its subatomic particles.
The explanation as why some of the atoms go through nuclear decay while others do not its because of the stability of some atoms. Atoms usually tend to follow octet rule, those which do not follow through this may experience the nuclear decay.
