The enthalpy of the solution is <u>positive </u>and the entropy is <u>positive</u>.

Potassium trioxonitrate (V) KNO₃(s) is a strong oxidizing solid substance that when dissolved in water changes to aqueous solution.

In its aqueous solution state, the randomness of molecules increases as a result of that the entropy will also increase leading to the positive state of the entropy.

Similarly, provided that the solution becomes quite cold to the touch, the enthalpy is also in it positive state.

Therefore, we can conclude that the enthalpy of the solution is <u>positive </u>and the entropy is <u>positive</u>.

What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)
bixtya [17]
Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
 Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2

Automobile bodies contain significant amounts of iron. The iron is protected by the addition of zinc. This is called galvanizati
Oksana_A [137]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Galvanization is defined as the process in which a protective layer of zinc is applied to iron or steel to prevent the metal from rusting.

Zinc prevents the oxidation of iron and acts as a reducing agent in the process.

The half reaction for the process follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe

Net chemical equation:  Zn+Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Fe

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

What are some ways that organelles are similar to organ system?
Vaselesa [24]

Explanation:

Like organs in an organism, each organelle has a specific function in a cell. All of the organelles work together to carry out the functions of the cell as a whole, just as organs do to an organism. For example, mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration; they provide energy the cell
