(a)
Interpretation:
At the transition temperature of 95.40C, the enthalpy of transition from rhombic to monoclinic sulfur is 0.38 kJ mol-1. The entropy of transition under these conditions, needs to be calculated.
Concept Introduction :
The entropy of transition is defined as below:
Here,
(b)
Interpretation:
At its melting point, 1190C, the enthalpy of fusion of monoclinic sulfur is 1.23 KJ mol-1. The enthalpy of fusion needs to be calculated.
Concept Introduction :
The entropy of transition is defined as below:
Here,
(c)
Interpretation:
The values of the enthalpy and entropy of fusion in parts (a) and (b) to those appropriate for S8 needs to be converted.
Concept Introduction :
The entropy of transition is defined as below:
Here,

- Can I please get help with this.arrow_forwardDetermine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR. Be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction. N₂H₅ClO₄arrow_forwardPlease help me with identifying these.arrow_forward
