Two cubic containers are given to contain the same quantity of gas at the same temperature. The cube containing gas at higher entropy is to be identified. The sample with higher entropy if, the sample in the part (b) is left unchanged, but the sample in part (a) is cooled so that it condenses, is to be identified. Concept introduction: Entropy is a thermodynamic property which shows the randomness or disorder of the atoms within the system. In the spontaneous process, the entropy of the system increases when one phase changes to another phase in an isolated system according to the second law of thermodynamic. The entropy is maximum in the gas phase and minimum in the solid phase. To determine: The cube containing gas at higher entropy, when the two cubic containers contain the same quantity of gas at the same temperature and the sample with higher entropy if, the sample in the part (b) is left unchanged but the sample in part (a) is cooled so that it condenses.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Two cubic containers are given to contain the same quantity of gas at the same temperature. The cube containing gas at higher entropy is to be identified. The sample with higher entropy if, the sample in the part (b) is left unchanged, but the sample in part (a) is cooled so that it condenses, is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Entropy is a thermodynamic property which shows the randomness or disorder of the atoms within the system.

Commercial bleach contains either chlorine or oxygen as an active ingredient. A commercial oxygenated bleach is much safer to handle and less likely to ruin your clothes. It is possible to determine the amount of active ingredient in an oxygenated bleach product by performing a redox titration. The balance reaction for such a titration is: 6H+ +5H2O2 +2MnO4- à 5O2 + 2Mn2+ + 8H2O If you performed the following procedure: “First, dilute the Seventh Generation Non-Chlorine Bleach by pipetting 10 mL of bleach in a 100 mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with distilled water. Next, pipet 10 mL of the diluted bleach solution into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and add 20 mL of 1.0 M H2SO4 to the flask. This solution should be titrated with 0.0100 M KMnO4 solution.” It took 18.47mL of the KMnO4 to reach the endpoint on average. What was the concentration of H2O2 in the original bleach solution in weight % assuming the density of bleach is 1g/mL?
