Answer:
D because i did this last week and got it right.
- Endothermic reaction means the reactant side takes heat from surrounding and get decomposed i.e ∆H=-ve
- If the equation is exothermic then it means the reactant is happy to decompose .But it's not as it's endothermic
Now
- HgO is Omitted from our solution option.
Hg is a atom so no bonds hence no bond strength occurs.
- O_2 is a molecule and so it's our answer .
Answer:
D
Explanation:
There are principally three states of matter. These are the solid, liquid and gaseous states. The gaseous state has the highest degree of disorderliness as gas particles can move randomly while the solid state has the highest level of compactness.
Hence, we need to be adequately fed with information as regards the phase change to know if entropy has decreased or increased.
A. is wrong
Evaporation is a change of state to the gaseous state meaning there is an increased entropy.
B. is wrong
Sublimation is a change of state which means a solid substance like iodine or naphthalene changes its state directly to the gaseous state. There is an increased entropy here too.
C is wrong
Melting of ice means going from ice block to liquid water. This is synonymous to going from the solid state to the liquid state which is an increased entropy
D is correct
Condensation involves going from the gaseous state to the liquid state. This means going from a less ordered state to a more ordered state. This is accompanied by an entropy decrease.
E is wrong
While there are some processes that increase entropy, we also have some process that decrease entropy.
The correct answer is A, B and C
That is a steep slope for sure, no doubt about it. Hope this helps!
