1 mol super cooled liquid water transformed to solid ice at -10 oC under 1 atm pressure.
Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

number of moles of super cooled liquid water = 1

Melting enthalpy of ice = 6020 J/mol

Freezing point =0 °C = (0 + 273 K)= 273 K

The decrease in entropy of the system during freezing for 1 mol (i.e during transformation from liquid water to solid ice )  = - 6020 J/mol × 1 mol /273 K = -22.051 J/K

Entropy change during further cooling from 0 °C (273 K) to -10 °C (263 K)

\Delta \ S = \int\limits^{T_2}_{T_1}\dfrac{nC_p(s)dT}{T}

\Delta \ S = {nC_p(s)In \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}

\Delta \ S = {(1*37.7)In \dfrac{263}{273}

Δ S = -1.4 J/K

Total entropy change of the system = - 22.05 J/K - 1.4 J/K = - 23.45 J/K

Entropy change of universe = entropy change of the system+ entropy change of the surrounding

According to the second law of thermodynamics

Entropy change of universe  >0

SO,

Entropy change of the system + entropy change in the surrounding > 0

Entropy change in the surrounding > - entropy change of the system

Entropy change in the surrounding > - (- 23.53 J/K)

Entropy change in the surrounding > 23.53 J/K

b) Make some comments on entropy changes from the obtained data.

From the data obtained; we will realize that the entropy of the system decreases as cooling takes place when water is be convert to ice , randomness of these molecules reduces and as cooling proceeds , hence, entropy reduces more as well and the liberated heat will go into the surrounding due to this entropy of the surrounding increasing.

Question 5
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

There are 17.64% students received B+ grades.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total number of students in chemistry class is 17

We need to find the percentage received by B+.

Number of students having B+ grades are 3 (from graph)

Required percentage = P=\dfrac{3}{17}\times 100=17.64\%

So, there are 17.64% students received B+ grades.

A closed system initially containing 1×10^-3 hydrogen 2×10^-3M iodine at 448 degree Celsius and is allowed to reach equilibrium.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Kc = 50.5

Explanation:

We determine the reaction:

H₂  +  I₂   ⇄   2HI

Initially we have 0.001 molesof H₂

and 0.002 moles of I₂

If we have produced 0.00187 moles of HI in the equilibrium we have to know, how many moles of I₂ and H₂, have reacted.

           H₂     +      I₂      ⇄   2HI

In:     0.001       0.002           -

R:       x                 x                2x

Eq:  0.001-x    0.002-x      0.00187  

x = 0.00187/2 = 9.35×10⁻⁴ moles that have reacted

So in the equilibrium we have:

0.001 - 9.35×10⁻⁴ = 6.5×10⁻⁵  moles of H₂

0.002 - 9.35×10⁻⁴ = 1.065×10⁻³ moles of I₂

Expression for Kc is =  (HI)² / (H₂) . (I₂)

0.00187 ² /  6.5×10⁻⁵ . 1.065×10⁻³ = 50.5
