Answer:
The change in enthalpy is +210 kJ, so it is an endothermic reaction.
Explanation:
- The change in enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
The change in enthalpy = The energy of products - the energy of reactants.
- If ΔH is positive value, the reaction is endothermic, the energy of the products is higher than that of the reactants.
- If ΔH is negative value, the reaction is exothermic, the energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants.
<em>For this reaction: </em>The change in enthalpy = The energy of products - the energy of reactants = 370 kJ - 160 kJ = + 210 kJ.
<em>So, the right choice is: The change in enthalpy is +210 kJ, so it is an endothermic reaction.</em>
Observations, surveys, and models.
The empirical formula gives the relative ratio of atoms in each element. Therefore, it simplifies the whole numbers. For example C2H6 can be reduced to CH3 because they share the greatest common factor (2). The answer to this question would be #1. C4H10 can be reduced to C2H5 because 4 and 10 are both divisible by 2. C2H5 can not be reduced any further. All of the other options do not have a greatest common factor making them a empirical formula.
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.
