The spontaneous exothermic reaction, PCl5(l) + Cl2(g) PCl5(s) has what signs for G, H, and S?

  1. Option A
  2. Option B
  3. Option C
  4. Option D
  5. Option E

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Spontaneous reactions have a negative
G. H is negative for an exothermic reaction. The entropy of the system decreases (a solid is created from a liquid and a gas), so S is negative.

  1. NH3, NH4+
  2. H,O, H,S
  3. C(graphite)' C(diamond)
  4. He, Ne
  5. N2, O2

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Allotropes are elemental substances that occur in more than one form.



How does one express 300 in scientific notation with three significant figures?

  2. 30 × 101
  3. 3.0 × 102
  4. 3.00 × 102
  5. 0.300 × 103

Answer(s): D
