Answer:

(C) It is favorable and is driven by ΔH° only.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 Na₂O₂ + S + 2 H₂O → 4 NaOH + SO₂

To determine whether it will be favorable or not at 298 K, we need to calculate the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°).

  • If ΔG° < 0, the reaction will be favorable.
  • If ΔG° > 0, the reaction will be unfavorable.

We can calculate ΔG° using the following expression.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

As we can see from the expression above, the favorability will be driven if ΔH° < 0 and if ΔS° < 0. Since ΔH° = -610 kJ/mol and ΔS° = -73 J/K.mol, the favorability will be driven by ΔH°. Now, let's calculate the overall favorability.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔG° = -610 kJ/mol - 298 K.(-0.073 kJ/K.mol) = -588 kJ/mol

The reaction is favorable and is driven by ΔH° only.

Answer:

refrigerating food will lower its temperature.thsi will hence slow down the rate of reproduction of bacteria and hence slows down its process

The moisture-control available in many refrigerators also helps slow the deterioration of foods, so that two of the three favorable situations for microorganism growth are eliminated.

Though the microorganism growth is slowed down at low temperatures, it still can occur at the 38 degrees of an ordinary refrigerator. Hence, the mold that grows on forgotten leftovers in the back of a refrigerator.

What is the mass of 0.25 moles of water? O 0.25 g 4.5 g 18 g 72g
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

4.5 g

Explanation:

The mass of 1 mol of water is 18.02 g.

\text{Mass of H$_{2}$O} = \text{0.25 mol H$_{2}$O} \times \dfrac{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}}{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}} = \textbf{4.5 g H$_{2}$O}
