    affect many aspects of a solution‚ the solutions enthalpy’s decreased at a certain time due to ethanol’s non-electrolyte nature. Introduction Johnson and Oatis (1) state that entropy is one of many reasons why a substance dissolves into another. Since nature tends to go towards a more random state‚ entropy is a significant factor. Other forces such as neutralization and changes in volume also play a role. As long as change in Gibbs free energy is negative a solution will be formed. An

    standard entropy and give a reason why: 1 mole each of NO and NO2 ? ANS: Both NO and NO2 are gases under standard conditions. Each molecule of NO2 has three atoms‚ and each molecule of NO has two atoms. Thus‚ NO2 should have the larger standard molar entropy than NO. Molecules with many atoms has more variations in how it can vibrate than a molecule with fewer atoms. This means more ways to distribute energy- or greater energy dispersal at any given temperature and larger entropy. A2.

    change of standard entropy. THEORY Free energy is a state function that expresses the spontaneity of a chemical process in term of enthalpy and entropy change of a system under conditions of constant temperature and volume (Hemholtz free energy) and constant temperature and pressure (Gibbs free energy). It is a quantity of non-pressure-and-volume work that a system can perform. Gibbs free energy also known as Gibbs function. G = H – TS ‚ where H‚ S and T denote enthalpy‚ entropy and temperature

    Strontium Manganese Oxide Introduction The ternary inter oxide SrMnO3 was first characterized by XRD by Negas and Roth []. This perovskite type inter oxide crystallizes in the hexagonal form with the space group P63/mmC(194). This inter oxide is of considerable interest to materials scientists owing to its ability to accommodate a high degree of anion vacancies‚ crystal structure and its high Neel Temperature (TN). It also exhibits polymorphism with two different cubic and hexagonal structures

    Cellular Respiration Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of body mass and temperature on the rate of respiration in the mouse. Hypothesis When the temperature is reduced‚ cellular respiration will increase. Measurement Weight the mouse and use soda lime for mouse to perspire. Oxygen was inhaled and carbon dioxide was exhaled. Carbon dioxide was absorbed by soda lime. Rate of respiration was measured in terms of ml of oxygen per min over grams. General

    Focus On Concepts Section 15.3  The First Law of Thermodynamics 1. The first law of thermodynamics states that the change U in the internal energy of a system is given by U = Q - W‚ where Q is the heat and W is the work. Both Q and W can be positive or negative numbers. Q is a positive number if ________‚ and W is a positive number if ________.  (a) the system loses heat; work is done by the system  (b) the system loses heat; work is done on the system  (c) the system gains heat; work is done by
