The answer is the choice A
Answer:
Rank the following chemical species from lowest absolute entropy (So) (1) to highest absolute entropy (5) at 298 K?
a. Al (s)
b. H2O (l)
c. HCN (g)
d. CH3COOH (l)
e. C2H6 (g)
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderness.
In solids, the entropy is very less compared to liquids and gases.
The entropy order is:
solids<liquids<gases
Among the given substances, water in liquid form has a strong intermolecular H-bond.
So, it has also less entropy.
Next acetic acid.
Between the gases, HCN, and ethane, ethane has more entropy due to very weak intermolecular interactions.
HCN has slight H-bonding in IT.
Hence, the entropy order is:
Al(s) < CH3COOH (l) <H2O(l) < HCN(g) < C2H6(g)
Answer
5
Explanation:
We can go about this using the percentage compositions.
First, we calculate the percentage composition of the copper sulphate. This is obtainable by using the mass.
0.96/1.5 * 100 = 64%
Hence the percentage by mass of the water present is 36%
The molar mass of the anhydrous sulphate is 64 + 32 +4(16) = 160g/mol
The molar mass of the water is 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol
Not forgetting that it is in multiples of x, the total molar mass of the water is 18x moles
The total mass of the copper sulphate hydrate is 160+ 18x
Now how do we get x? Like it is said earlier, the percentage composition is constant.
Hence, 64/100 * (160 + 18x) = 160
16000 = 64(160 + 18x)
16000 = 10,240 + 1152x
16,000 - 10,240 = 1152x
1152x = 5760
x = 5760/1152
x = 5
2 Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and nonmetal atoms.
4 The less electronegative atoms transfers one or more electrons to the more electronegative atom.
5 The metal atom forms a cation and the nonmetal atom forms an anion.
7 The attraction between ions with an opposite charge forms an ionic bond.
Basically team B would win since it is exerting a force of 900N unlike team A ( you can tell by doing 4900N minus 4000N ). It is very unbalanced.
