Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.

Calculate the mass (in g) of 2.1 x 1024 atoms of W.
Monica [59]
Atomic mass W = 183.84 u.m.a

183.84 g ----------- 6.02x10²⁴ atoms
?? g ---------------- 2.1x10²⁴ atoms

2.1x10²⁴ x 183.84 / 6.02x10²⁴ =

3.860x10²⁶ / 6.02x10²⁴ = 641.30 g

0.254g lead(ii)ethanoate, on adding excess K2CrO4 solution, gave 0.130g of lead(ii)chromate precipitate. what is the percentage
Alborosie

Answer:

32.8%

Explanation:

All of the Pb⁺² species precipitated as lead(II) cromate, PbCrO₄ (we know this as excess K₂CrO₄ was used).

First we convert 0.130 g of PbCrO₄ into moles, using its molar mass:

  • 0.130 g ÷ 323 g/mol = 4.02x10⁻⁴ mol PbCrO₄

There's 1 Pb⁺² mol per PbCrO₄ mol, so in total 4.02x10⁻⁴ moles of Pb⁺² were in the ethanoate sample.

We <u>convert those 4.02x10⁻⁴ moles of Pb into grams</u>:

  • 4.02x10⁻⁴ mol * 207 g/mol = 0.083 g Pb

Finally we calculate the percentage composition of Pb:

  • 0.083 g Pb / 0.254 g salt * 100% = 32.8%
