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.

Imagine that one tree outside your home looks unhealthy, although all the other trees seem healthy and strong. Describe how you
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Hypothesis---experiments----results----conclusion.

Explanation:

First we make a hypothesis means a statement about why the tree looks unhealthy. In this segment of scientific method we have to test the hypothesis through experimentation. After that we have to take the readings of various parts of the tree and analyze the data to find out the problem. In the next step, we have to made the results on the basis of the data that is obtained. In the last we have to write the conclusion of the analysis and see the hypothesis.

10. (2 points) What is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent. A) calisthenics B) bumping C) dissolution D)
Triss [41]

Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.

Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.

The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.

Example are:

1.Stirring of sugar in water.

In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.

2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute

How many milliliters of a 3.4 M NaCl solution would be needed to prepare each solution?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a. Approximately 1.3\; \rm mL.

b. Approximately 7.2\; \rm mL.

Explanation:

The unit of concentration "\rm M" is equivalent to "\rm mol \cdot L^{-1}", which means "moles per liter."

However, the volume of both solutions were given in mililiters \rm mL. Convert these volumes to liters:

\displaystyle 45\; \rm mL = 45\; \rm mL \times \frac{1\; \rm L}{1000\; \rm mL} = 0.045\; \rm L.

\displaystyle 330\; \rm mL = 330\; \rm mL \times \frac{1\; \rm L}{1000\; \rm mL} = 0.330\; \rm L.

In a solution of volume V where the concentration of a solute is c, there would be c \cdot V (moles of) formula units of this solute.

Calculate the number of moles of \rm NaCl formula units in each of the two solutions:

Solution in a.:

n = c \cdot V = 0.045\; \rm L \times 0.10\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.0045\; \rm mol.

Solution in b.:

n = c \cdot V = 0.330\; \rm L \times 0.074\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.02442\; \rm mol.

What volume of that 3.4\; \rm M (same as 3.4 \; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}) \rm NaCl solution would contain that many

For the solution in a.:

\displaystyle V = \frac{n}{c} = \frac{0.0045\; \rm mol}{3.4\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}} \approx 0.0013\; \rm L.

Convert the unit of that volume to milliliters:

\displaystyle 0.0013\; \rm L = 0.0013\; \rm L \times \frac{1000\; \rm mL}{1\; \rm L} = 1.3\; \rm mL.

Similarly, for the solution in b.:

\displaystyle V = \frac{n}{c} = \frac{0.02442\; \rm mol}{3.4\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}} \approx 0.0072\; \rm L.

Convert the unit of that volume to milliliters:

\displaystyle 0.0072\; \rm L = 0.0072\; \rm L \times \frac{1000\; \rm mL}{1\; \rm L} = 7.2\; \rm mL.

a helium balloon has a volume of 2.95 liters at 25 c. the volume of the ballon decreased to 2.25 l after it is placed outside on
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The outside temperature is -45.8°C

Explanation:

When a gas keeps on constant its moles and its pressure, we can assume that volume will be increased or decreased as the T° (absolute T° in K).

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

2.95L/298K = 2.25L / T2

(2.95L/298K ) . T2 = 2.25L

T2 = 2.25L . 298K / 2.95L

T2 = 227.2K

T°K - 273 = T°C

227.2K - 273 = -45.8°C
