Answer:

1 and 3.

Explanation:

The entropy measures the randomness of the system, as higher is it, as higher is the entropy. The randomness is associated with the movement and the arrangement of the molecules. Thus, if the molecules are moving faster and are more disorganized, the randomness is greater.

So, the entropy (S) of the phases increases by:

S solid < S liquid < S gases.

1. The substance is going from solid to gas, thus the entropy is increasing.

2. The substance is going from a disorganized way (the molecules of I are disorganized) to an organized way (the molecules join together to form I2), thus the entropy is decreasing.

3. The molecules go from an organized way (the atom are joined together) to a disorganized way, thus the entropy increases.

4. The ions are disorganized and react to form a more organized molecule, thus the entropy decreases.

A student assistant is cleaning up after a chemistry laboratory exercise and finds three one-liter bottles containing alcohol so

Svetllana [295]

The approximate alcohol content is 210 ml.

Explanation:

It can be deduced from the question that each bottle is of 1000ml or 1 litre.

The first bottle is one half full means it has 500 ml of solution and it has 20% alcohol in it. So volume of alcohol in the solution is

20/100*500

=100 ml

The first bottle is one fifth full, so the volume of mixture is 1/5th of 1000ml

so it is 200ml having 30% alcohol

30/100*200

= 60 ml

The third bottle is one tenth full so its volume is 1/10*1000

100 ml. having 50% of alcohol

50/100*100

50 ml.

The alcohol content obtained from all these 3 litres is:

100+60+50

= 210 ml of alchohol is obtained from 800 ml of mixture.

BH+ClO4- is a salt formed from the base B (Kb = 1.00e-4) and perchloric acid. It dissociates into BH+, a weak acid, and ClO4-, w

Len [333]

Answer:

The pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is 5.44

Explanation:

Given: The base dissociation constant: $K_{b}$ = 1 × 10⁻⁴, Concentration of salt: BH⁺ClO₄⁻ = 0.1 M

Also, water dissociation constant: $K_{w}$ = 1 × 10⁻¹⁴

The acid dissociation constant ( $K_{a}$ ) for the weak acid (BH⁺) can be calculated by the equation:

$K_{a}. K_{b} = K_{w}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{b}}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{1\times 10^{-4}} = 1\times 10^{-10}$

Now, the acid dissociation reaction for the weak acid (BH⁺) and the initial concentration and concentration at equilibrium is given as:

Reaction involved: BH⁺ + H₂O ⇌ B + H₃O+

Initial: 0.1 M x x

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.1 - x x x

The acid dissociation constant: $K_{a} = \frac{\left [B \right ] \left [H_{3}O^{+}\right ]}{\left [BH^{+} \right ]} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(0.1 - x)} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}$
