Answer:

A. In a graduated cylinder, put some quantity of water and measure the initial volume. Then put a coin and measure the volume. To find the volume of the coin, simply subtract the initial volume (water only) from the ending volume (water + coin). To measure the mass, take a dry coin and place it on an electronic scale. Density = mass / volume, so divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the coin.

B. When measuring the volume, make sure to look at the graduated cylinder at eye level and read from the bottom of the meniscus.

Since the number of atoms in a substance is so large , a unit to count them was created. This unit is the number of atoms in 12
larisa86 [58]

The number of atoms in one mole of any substance is measured by Avogadro's number. The value of Avogadro's number is 6.023 x 10 ^23. It is named after scientist Avogadro who proposed this number. 12 grams of carbon-12 represents 1 mole of carbon-12. For this reason, the number of atoms present in 1 mole of any substance is 6.023 x 10 ^23. Therefore, the number of atoms present in 1 mole carbon-12 is 6.023 x 10^23.


(Answer) This unit is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 and known as Avogadro's number.

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the boiling of water, and exp
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

ΔH > 0; ΔS >0; ΔG = 0

Not spontaneous when T < 100 °C;

         Equilibrium when T = 100 °C

      Spontaneous when T > 100 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The process is

H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ H₂O(g)

ΔH > 0 (positive), because we must <em>add heat</em> to boil water

ΔS > 0 (positive), because changing from a liquid to a gas i<em>ncreases the disorder </em>

ΔG = 0, because the liquid-vapour equilibrium process is at <em>equilibrium</em> at 100 °C

ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

Both ΔH and ΔS are positive.

If T = 100 °C, ΔG =0. ΔH = TΔS, and the system is at equilibrium.


If T < 100 °C, the ΔH term will predominate, because T has decreased below the equilibrium value.

ΔG > 0. The process is not spontaneous below 100 °C.


If T > 100 °C, the TΔS term will predominate, because T has increased above the equilibrium value.

ΔG < 0. The process is spontaneous above 100 °C.

Identify the four parts of the potential energy diagram
Leni [432]

Answer:

Reactants, Activation energy, Energy released by the reaction and Products

Explanation:

This energy profile is that of an exothermic reaction. In an exothermic reaction, heat is liberated to the surrounding. The surrounding becomes hotter than the environment.

The first box to the left is the reactants which signifies the species combining together.

The topmost box is the activation energy which is the energy barrier that must be over come before a reaction takes place.

The box underneath is the energy change. Here, energy is being released.

The right most box is the product of the reaction.
