1 message Which process results in the increase in entropy of the universe? the cooling of a hot cup of coffee in room temperatu

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Melting of snow

Evaporation of water from desk

Explanation:

Processes that increase the entropy of the universe are those processes that have an increased disorderliness. We should note that there are three principal states of matter which are the liquid, gas and solid. The gaseous state is the most disorderly while the solid is the least disorderly.

Now. We can see that the cooling of a hot cup of coffee is a process that needs or leads to a loss in temperature which obviously decreases disorderliness of the universe.

The melting of snow however is a process that leads to an increase in the disorderliness of the universe. It entails moving from the solid state to the liquid state. It tends to move to a more disordered state indicating an increase in the entropy of the universe.

The evaporation of water from the desk is quite similar to that above. Hence since we are moving from the liquid to the gaseous state via evaporation, we can state that the entropy of the universe has increased since we have moved from a state with a lesser degree of disorderliness to a state that is more disordered I.e from liquid to gaseous state.

A solution of hydrocloric acid has a molarity of 2.25 M HCl. If a reaction requires 5.80 g of HCI, what

Natali [406]

Answer:

0.071L

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

Molarity of HCl = 2.25 M

Mass of HCl = 5.80g

Molar Mass of HCl = 36.45g/mol

Number of mole of HCl =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of HCl = 5.8/36.45 = 0.159mole

Now, we can obtain the volume required as follows:

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.159mole/ 2.25

Volume = 0.071L

An unknown compound, X is thought to have a carboxyl group with a pKa of 2.0 and another ionizable group with a pKa between 5 an

Westkost [7]

Answer:

7.3

Explanation:

By Henderson Hasselbalch equation we can calculate the pH or the pOH of a solution by its pKa. Remember that $pH = -log[H^{+}]$ , and pKa = -logKa. Ka is the equilibrium constant of the acid.

Henderson Hasselbalch equation :

$pH = pKa - log \frac{[HA]}{[A^{-}]}$

Where [HA] is the concentration of the acid, and $[A^{-}]$ is the concentration of the anion which forms the acid.

So, acid X, has two ionic forms, the carboxyl group and the other one. First, we have 0.1 mol/L of the acid, in 100 mL, so the number of moles of X

n1 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.1 L) = 0.01 mol

When it dissociates, it forms 0.005 mol of the carboxyl group and 0.005 mol of the other group. Assuming same stoichiometry.

Adding NaOH, with 0.1 mol/L and 75 mL, the number of moles of $OH^-$ will be

n2 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.075 L) = 0.0075 mol

So, the 0.0075 mol of $OH^-$ reacts with 0.005 mol of carboxyl, remaining 0.0025 mol of $OH^-$ , which will react with the 0.005 mol of the other group. So, it will remain 0.0025 mol of the other group.

The final volume of the solution will be 175 mL, but both concentrations (the acid form and ionic form) have the same volume, so we can use the number of mol in the equation.

Note that, the number of moles of the acid form is still 0.01 mol because it doesn't react!

So,

$6.72 = pKa - log \frac{0.01}{0.0025}$

6.72 = pKa - log 4

pKa - log4 = 6.72

pKa = 6.72 + log4

pKa = 6.72 + 0.6

pKa = 7.3
