The reaction H2(g)+F2(g)?2HF(g) is spontaneous at all temperatures. A classmate calculates the entropy change for this reaction

and obtains a large negative value for ?S?.
Part A

Did your classmate make a mistake in the calculation?

Did your classmate make a mistake in the calculation?

There is mistake in the calculation. The second law states that in any spontaneous process there is an increase in the entropy of the universe.
There is mistake in the calculation. The second law states that in any spontaneous process the increase in the entropy of the system equals zero. Also there is a decrease in entropy of the system, as in the present case, this decrease is canceled by an increase in entropy of the surroundings.
There is no mistake in the calculation. The second law states that in any spontaneous process there is an decrease in the entropy of the system. Also there is a decrease in entropy of the system, as in the present case.

Answer:

The correct answer is there is a mistake in the calculation. The second law of thermodynamics state that in any spontaneous process there is an increase in the entropy of the universe.

Explanation:

According to the second law a reaction will occur in a system spontaneously if the total entropy of both system and surrounding increases during the reaction.That means in case of spontaneous reaction entropy change is always positive.

     But according to the question the reaction H2+F2=2HF is spontaneous in all temperature.So according to the second law of thermodynamics i can say that my classmate made a mistake in calculation that"s why his result for entropy change comes negative.

A 108 49in source emits a 633-kev gamma photon and a 606-kev internal-conversion electron from the k shell. what is the binding
____ [38]
Binding energy is the energy needed to emit the electron from the shell. Using the formula below to compute for BE. Binding Energy BE = Energy of photon - Kinetic energy electron
where 
Energy proton= 633 keV
KE electron = 606 keV
Binding energy BE = 27 keVThe binding energy of the k subshell is equal to 27 keV.

The halogens, alkali metals, and alkaline earth metals have __________ valence electrons, respectively.
natima [27]
The valence electrons are as follows for these groups of elements:

Halogen- SEVEN  (halogens are group 7 elements that need one electron for the octet rule to be achieved)

Alkali Metals - ONE  (these are group one elements that lose a single electron to form an octet and cation)

Alkaline Earth Metals - TWO (group two elements that lose two electrons to form 2+ cations)

Select the true statements about denaturation.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct options are: Denaturation of an enzyme will cause a loss of its catalytic activity.

Egg white meringue contains denatured egg white proteins.

A denatured protein has a different tertiary structure than its native state.

 Protein denaturation involves cleavage of its peptide bonds.

Explanation:

Protein denaturation is the breakdown of tertiary or quaternary junctions of proteins, which are the easiest to break compared to primary and secondary.

Denaturation can arise due to a change in pH or due to excess temperature. An enzyme is generally a protein and if it is subjected to acidic acids or high temperatures, it denatures, ceasing to perform its function.

Zymogen is a non-denatured INACTIVE proenzyme, that is why we consider that option false along with those that were not selected.
