Do atoms lose energy during evaporation

1 answer:

5 0

Atoms don't undergo a change in state during phase change. In fact phases or states can only be defined for groups of atoms. It is the energy state of these groups of atoms that decides the state and defines temperature.
<span>In the process of evaporation molecules at the surface of the liquid gain higher energy when they are 'hit' with molecules of the gas surrounding it during their constant Brownian motion which gives it the energy to break away from the surface. This happening over a large scale of the liquid surface is what is evaporation.</span>

What symbol is used to separate the products from each other or the reactants from each other in a chemical reaction?

matrenka [14]

Answer:

The symbol used to separate the product from each other or reactants from each other is 'plus' (+) .

Explanation:

In chemical equation the symbol used to separate the product from each other or reactants from each other is 'plus' (+) .

While the symbol used to separate the reactant and product from each other is '→'

For example:

Consider the following reaction.

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

Two moles of hydrogen react with one mole of oxygen to form two moles of water. The both reactant hydrogen and oxygen are separated by the + while reactant and products are separated by → .

Predict the sign of ΔS for each process:(c) Cl₂(g) (100°C and 1 atm) → Cl₂(g) (10°C and 1 atm)

dexar [7]

The entropy for the process:

Cu(s) (350°C and 2.5 atm) → Cu(s) (450°C and 2.5 atm) decreases. The sign of entropy is negative.

<h3>What is Entropy? </h3>

Entropy is defined as the measure of the thermal energy of a system per unit temperature which is unavailable for doing useful work. As the work is obtained from ordered molecular motion, therefore the amount of entropy is also gives a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.

<h3>Effect of Temperature</h3>

There is increase in the Entropy as temperature increases. An increase in the temperature results that particles of substance have greater kinetic energy. The fast moving particles have more disorder than particles which are moving slowly at the given lower temperature.

<h3>Effect of Pressure</h3>

The entropy increases with increases in the pressure on the substance.

Since the temperature of given reaction decreases. So, entropy also decreases.

Thus, we concluded that the entropy for the process:

Cu(s) (350°C and 2.5 atm) → Cu(s) (450°C and 2.5 atm) decreases. So, the sign of entropy is negative.

50.g of NaNO3 was dissolved in 1250 mL of water. what is the molality of the solution? [ Molar mass of NaNO3 = 85 g/mol

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Approximately $0.47\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ (note that $1\; \rm M = 1 \; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ .)

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution gives the number of moles of solute in each unit volume of the solution. In this $\rm NaNO_3$ solution in water,

Let $n$ be the number of moles of the solute in the whole solution. Let $V$ represent the volume of that solution. The formula for the molarity $c$ of that solution is:

$\displaystyle c = \frac{n}{V}$ .

In this question, the volume of the solution is known to be $1250\; \rm mL$ . That's $1.250\; \rm L$ in standard units. What needs to be found is $n$ , the number of moles of $\rm NaNO_3$ in that solution.

The molar mass (formula mass) of a compound gives the mass of each mole of units of this compound. For example, the molar mass of $\rm NaNO_3$ is $85\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ means that the mass of one mole of

$\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M}$ .

For this question,

$\begin{aligned}&n\left(\mathrm{NaNO_3}\right) \\ &= \frac{m\left(\mathrm{NaNO_3}\right)}{M\left(\mathrm{NaNO_3}\right)}\\&= \frac{50\; \rm g}{85\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\& \approx 0.588235\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the molarity of this solution:

$\begin{aligned}c &= \frac{n}{V} \\&= \frac{0.588235\; \rm mol}{1.250\; \rm L} \\&\approx 0.47\;\rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Note that $1\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ (one mole per liter solution) is the same as $1\; \rm M$ .

Arrange the following elements in order of increasing (from smallest to largest) atomic size: H, Br, Cl, O. Explain the reasonin

juin [17]

Explanation:

Atomic size is defined as the distance between the nucleus and valence shell of an atom. Valence shell is the outermost shell of an atom.

When we move across a period in a periodic table then there will occur a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. But when we move across a group in a periodic table then there will occur an increase in atomic size of the atom.

Hydrogen is a period 1 element, oxygen is a period 2 element, chlorine is a period 3 element and bromine is a period 4 element.

Therefore, given elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic size as follows.

H < O < Cl < Br
