Identity and chemical properties
Answer: option D) energy was absorbed and entropy increased.
Explanation:
1) Given balanced equation:
2H₂O (l) + 571.6 kJ → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂(g).
2) Being the energy placed on the side of the reactants means that the energy is used (consumed or absorbed). This is an endothermic reaction.
So, the first part is that energy was absorbed.
3) As for the entropy, it is a measure of the disorder or radomness of the system.
Since, two molecules of liquid water were transformed into three molecules of gas, i.e. more molecules and more kinetic energy, therefore the new state has a greater degree of radomness, is more disordered, and you conclude that the entropy increased.
With that, you have shown that the right option is D) energy was absorbed and increased.
The balanced chemical reaction is expressed as:
M + F2 = MF2
To determine the moles of the element fluorine present in the product, we need to determine the moles of the product formed from the reaction and relate this value to the ratio of the elements in MF2. We do as follows:
moles MF2 produced = 0.600 mol M ( 1 mol MF2 / 1 mol M ) = 0.600 mol MF2
molar mass MF2 = 46.8 g MF2 / 0.6 mol MF2 = 78 g/mol
moles MF2 = 46.8 g ( 1 mol / 78 g ) = 0.6 mol
moles F = 0.6 mol MF2 ( 2 mol F / 1 mol MF2 ) = 1.2 moles F
180-127= 53 degrees. Hope this helps.
the identity of element remains same
