System A undergoes an increase in entropy while system B undergoes a decrease in entropy.

Entropy is the degree of disorderliness of a system. The entropy of a system depends on the number of particles present in the system as well as the state of matter.

Entropy is increased when solid particles dissolve in water because more particles are produced thereby increasing the level of disorderliness in the system.

On the other hand, when vapor is condensed, the degree of disorderliness decreases as gases are converted to liquids.

Calculate the enthalpy for this reaction: 2C(s) + H2(g) ---> C2H2(g) ΔH° = ??? kJ Given the following thermochemical equation

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The enthalpy for given reaction is 232 kilo Joules.

Explanation:

$C_2H_2(g) + \frac{5}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g) + H_2O(l), \Delta H^o_{1} = -1,123 kJ$ ...[1]

$C(s) + O_2(g)\rightarrow CO2(g), \Delta H^o_{2} = -340 kJ$ ..[2]

$H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l) ,\Delta H^o_{3} = -211 kJ$ ..[3]

$2C(s) + H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g),\Delta H^o_{4} =?$ ..[4]

2 × [2] + [3] - [1] ( Using Hess's law)

$\Delta H^o_{4}=2\times \Delta H^o_{2}+\Delta H^o_{3} - \Delta H^o_{1}$

$\Delta H^o_{4}=2\times (-340 kJ) + (-211 kJ) - (-1,123 kJ)$

$\Delta H^o_{4}=232 kJ$

The enthalpy for given reaction is 232 kilo Joules.

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles

DedPeter [7]

Answer: X is a Solid; Y is a Gas

Explanation:

There are three (3) states of matter. They are: Solid, Liquid and Gases.

Substance X and Y, belong to the states of matter.

A Solid is a substance that retains its SIZE and SHAPE without need of a container (as opposed to a liquid or gas).

Thus, it will most likely be concluded that: substance X is a Solid; while Y is a Gas

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Mammograms are commonly used to screen for breast cancer.

Radio-tracking technology assists in determining exactly where an animal is located at any instant in time and frequently what that animal is performing! Utilizing the data collected from tracking devices, scientists can conclude the day-to-day activities of an animal, the size of an animal's place range, what other animals share an animal's range and the types of habitats an animal practices.

Gamma-rays are the common energetic form of light and are generated by the most heated regions of the universe. Gamma rays are provided by such extreme events as supernova explosions or the elimination of atoms and by less exciting events, such as the breakdown of radioactive material in space.
