Explanation:

ΔS denotes change in entropy. Entropy is the degree of disorderliness of a system. An increasing ΔS would mean that the entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.

Generally the trend of entropy with state of matter is given as;

Gas > Liquid > Solid (Increasing Entropy)

a. H 2O(g) → H 2O(l)

In this reaction, there is a decreasing ΔS, since we are moving from gas to liquid. This would be the last.

b. 2NO(g) → N 2(g) + O 2(g)

There is an increase in gaseous products. This is definitely an increasing ΔS reaction. This would be the first on the list.

C. MgCO 3(s) → MgO(s) + CO2(g)

The products formed are in solid and gaseous state. There is increasing ΔS but not up to reaction 2.

The order is given as;

b. 2NO(g) → N 2(g) + O 2(g)

C. MgCO 3(s) → MgO(s) + CO2(g)

a. H 2O(g) → H 2O(l)

When heating a flammable or volatile solvent for a recrystallization, which of these statements are correct? More than one answe

otez555 [7]

Explanation:

A volatile substance is defined as the substance which can easily evaporate into the atmosphere due to weak intermolecular forces present within its molecules.

Whereas a flammable substance is defined as a substance which is able to catch fire easily when it comes in contact with flame.

Hence, when we heat a flammable or volatile solvent for a recrystallization then it should be kept in mind that should heat the solvent in a stoppered flask to keep vapor away from any open flames so that it won't catch fire.

And, you should ensure that no one else is using an open flame near your experiment.

Thus, we can conclude that following statements are correct:

You should heat the solvent in a stoppered flask to keep vapor away from any open flames.

You should ensure that no one else is using an open flame near your experiment.

Bonds between two atoms that are equally electronegative are _____. bonds between two atoms that are equally electronegative are

Anna [14]

Bonds of two atoms of equal electronegativity are nonpolar covalent bonds.

Your second sentence is identical to the first sentence; I'll bet the second sentence is "Bonds between two atoms that are unequally electronegative are polar covalent bonds."

Enter the chemical equation 2H+(aq)+S2−(aq)→H2S(g). Express your answer as a chemical equation.

amm1812

Answer : The complete chemical equation is,

$2H^+(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2S(aq)$

Explanation :

As we know that, in a chemical equation the reacting species present on left side and the product formed present on right side and a right arrow inserted between the reactants and product that show a chemical reaction taking place.

In the chemical reaction, the phases of the substances are also included and subscripts and superscripts are also used for the numbers.

For the given chemical reaction, the balanced chemical equation including the phases, is given by:

$2H^+(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2S(aq)$

Gold has always been a highly prized metal, and it has been widely used from the beginning of history as a store of value. It do

Greeley [361]

Answer: The balanced equation is

Au(s) + 3HNO3(aq) + 4HCl(aq) ---> HAuCl4(aq) + 3NO2(g) +3H2O(l)

The function of HCl in a solution of Aqua regia, that is used to dissolve gold is to dissolve other metals like quartz or iron stone that surround the gold.

Explanation: To balance the equation, we check the ratio of each element in the reacting side and the product side ( left and right hand side). Let their ratio be equal be adding moles to the compound of the element or the element it's self in either side of the equation.

HCl which is called hydrochloric acid, is an acid that does not react with gold, but it react with every other substance, like your skin, metals etc. it is used to clean a gold, by dipping the gold inside it, all the metals on the surface of the gold will dissolve.

When dissolving a gold in aqua regia solution, HCL is added to prepare this solution because it will help to dissolve all other substance on the surface of the gold.

Beer brewing begins with steeping grains in hot water, releasing the sugars inside. The sugar water is then heated to a boil and

user100 [1]

Answer:

The answers to the question are

a. 166.64 ° F

b. 217990.08 J/hour or 60.55 J/s = 60.55 watts

c. 13.C

Explanation:

a. To solve the question we list out the given variables thus

mass of grain = 16.5 lbs

Temperature of grain = 67 °F

Volume of hot water = 5 gals = ‪0.02273‬ m³

Equilibrium temperature of the mixture = 154 °F

Specific heat capacity of the grain = 0.44 times specific heat capacity of water

Therefore we have

Heat supplied by hot water = heat gained by mixture

Density of the water = 997 kg/m³ which gives

Therefore the mass of the water = (Density of the water) × (Volume of the water) = (997 kg/m³) × ‪(0.02273‬ m³) = 22.66181 kg

Therefore the heat supplied by the water =22.66 kg×1000 g/kg ×4.2 J/g°C×(Tₓ -‪67.78 °C) = ‪7.48 kg×1000 g/kg×0.44×4.2 J/g°C×(67.78 -‪19.44)

= 95172 × (Tₓ -‪67.78 °C) =668205.7536 J

(Tₓ -‪67.78 °C) = 7.02 from where Tₓ = 74.80 °C = ‪166.64 ° F

The initial temperature (strike temperature) of the hot water = 74.80 °C = 166.64 ° F

b. Where the mixture lost two degrees we have

22.66 kg×1000 g/kg ×4.2 J/g°C×2 °C + ‪7.48 kg×1000 g/kg×0.44×4.2 J/g°C×2 °C = 217990.08 J therefore the average energy lost per unit time = 217990.08 J/hour or 60.55 J/s

c. To find out how much it cost we have

Heat energy required to raise 5 gallons of water from 110 °F to 166.64 °F we have

22.66 kg×1000 g/kg ×4.2 J/g°C×(74.8 °C-‪43.33 °C) = 2994745.92 J

Energy lost during the heating = 10% = 299474.59 J

Total energy supplied 2994745.92 J + 299474.59 J = 3294220.5 J

Time for heating = 47 minutes, therefore rate of energy consumption = (3294220.5 J)/ (47×60) = 1168.163 Watt 1.168 kW

Cost of energy = 15.C per kilowatt-hour therefore 1.168 kW for 47 minutes will cost

1.168 kW ×47/60×15 = 13.C

therefore it cost 13.C to heat the 5 gallons of tap water initially at 110 ° F to the strike temperature 166.64 °F
