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)
The ratio of the diffusion rate of Cl2 and O2 is 1.5
calculation
rate of diffusion Cl2/ rate of diffusion O2 =√ molar mass of Cl2/ molar mass of O2
molar mass of Cl2 = 35.5 x2 = 71 g/mol
molar mass O2 = 16 x2 =32g/mol
that is rate of diffusion Cl2/ rate of diffusion of O2 =√ 71/ 32= 1.5
Answer: Option (6) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Lattice energy is described as the energy released when formation of 1 mole of an ionic compound occurs due to the combination of its constituent ions.
Also, lattice energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the cation and anion. And, when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in the atomic radii of the atoms.
This means that smaller is the ionic distance between the cation and anion, more will be the lattice energy between the atoms.
Therefore, order from weakest to strongest lattice energy (most positive to most negative) for the given compounds is as follows.
barium chloride < strontium chloride < calcium chloride < magnesium chloride
Meta oxides are compounds that are formed by reaction of metals with oxygen. If these compounds are placed in water, the ionic components of this substance will dissociate.
The dissociation of metal oxides in water will likely form,
2M³⁺ + 3O²⁻
