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)

A 5.00 gram sample of an oxide of lead PbxOy contains 4.33g of lead. Determine the simplest formula for the compound.

Valentin [98]

PbO2

You have to take the mass of lead in the problem, and divide by the molar mass.
When you do the same with oxygen, you get a number about twice as large as when you divide the mass of lead by the molar mass of lead. This means that the simplest formula would be PbO2

The pressure of a 609.64 gram sample of F2 in a 88.84 L container is measured to be 2770.96 torr. What is the temperature of thi

Oxana [17]

Answer : The temperature of the gas is, 245.9 K

Explanation :

To calculate the temperature of gas we are using ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}RT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = 2770.96 torr = 3.646 atm

Conversion used : (1 atm = 760 torr)

V = volume of gas = 88.84 L

T = temperature of gas = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

w = mass of gas = 609.64 g

M = molar mass of $F_2$ gas = 38 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

$(3.646atm)\times (88.84L)=\frac{609.64g}{38g/mole}\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (T)$

$T=245.9K$

Therefore, the temperature of the gas is, 245.9 K

Answer: The number of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms on the left side of the reaction are 12, 28 and 38 respectively

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the chemical species are termed as reactants or products.

Reactants are defined as the species which react in the reaction and are written on the left side of the reaction arrow.

Products are defined as the species which are produced in the reaction and are written on the right side of the reaction arrow.

For the given chemical equation:

$2C_6H_{14}(l)+19O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+14H_2O(g)$

On the reactant side:

Number of carbon atoms = (6 × 2) = 12

Number of hydrogen atoms = (14 × 2) = 28

Number of oxygen atoms = (2 × 19) = 38

Hence, the number of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms on the left side of the reaction are 12, 28 and 38 respectively
