Predict the sign of the entropy change of the system for each of the following reactions. (a) n2(g)+3h2(g)→2nh3(g) (b) caco3(s)→cao(s)+co2(g) (c) 3c2h2(g)→c6h6(g) (d) al2o3(s)+3h2(g)→2al(s)+3h2o(g) socratic. org

a. Negative

b. Positive

c. Negative

d. zero

Explanation:

Entropy is measure of disorder. Positive entropy implies that a system is becoming more disordered. The opposite is true.

(a) N2(g)+3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) Negative because the system is becoming less disordered since the number of gaseous moles is decreasing

(b) CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g)  Positive because a solid produces a gas which is more disorder therefore there is an increase in entropy

(c) 3C2H2(g)→C6H6(g) Negative because the number of moles of a gas decrease meaninng there is less disorder

(d) Al2O3(s)+3H2(g) → 2Al(s)+3H2O(g) zero because the gaseous moles do not change

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
