The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

Suppose that some of the compound spilled out of the crucible after it was heated. would that cause the percent by mass of water in the compound determined by the experiment to be too low, too high, or unchanged? briefly explain your answer.

The diagin dilutepage 6 of 12a6a5(a)fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine are placed in the same group of theperiodic table. state the common name used to describe elements in this group.(i)state the group in which the elements are placed and explain whythey are placed in that group.(ii)which of the above named elements is a solid at roomtemperature and pressure?
