Answer:

The entropy change of the surroundings is -33.5 J/K

Explanation:

The heat gained by the ice is 10 kJ, equating to 10000 J

The heat released by the surroundings is the negative of the heat gained by the ice.

Thus,

The heat lost by the surroundings = -(10000 J)

Given the room temperature = 25^{o}C = 273 + 25 = 298 K

Change\,\,in\,\,entropy\,\,surrounding =\frac{Heat\,\,lost\,\,by\,\,surrounding}{Room\,\,temperature}= \frac{-10000}{298}= 33.5\,J/k

Thus, the entropy change of the surroundings is -33.5 J/K

Calculate the mass, in grams, of a single tellurium atom (mte = 127.60 amu ).
castortr0y [2921]

1 atomic mass unit (amu) represents the mass of an atom or is used to measure mass on an atomic scale. It is also referred to as a dalton, abbreviated as Da, while atomic mass unit is indicated as amu.

1 amu can be translated into grams as follows:

1 amu = 1.6 * 10^-2^4 g

Mass of Te = 127.6 amu

For conversion into grams:

M = (127.6 ) * 1.6 * 10^-2^4 g

M = 204.16 * 10^-2^4 g

Therefore, the mass of Te is 204.16 * 10^-2^4 g

During photosynthesis, sunlight shining on a plant is absorbed. Through several chemical reactions, the plant produces sugar, a
KiRa [2857]
The transformation involves converting thermal energy into chemical energy. Sugar is rich in chemical potential energy, which explains why it serves as an energy source for living organisms. Photosynthesis utilizes sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen, effectively changing the thermal energy from light into the chemical energy stored in sugar.

I hope this clarifies things. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

If the density of carbon tetrachloride is 1.59 g/ml, what is the volume in l, of 4.21 kg of carbon tetrachloride
Tems11 [2638]

Density is defined as the mass-to-volume ratio. The formula for density can be expressed as:

density = \frac{mass}{volume}    -(1)

The density for carbon tetrachloride is provided as 1.59 g/ml   (given).

The mass of carbon tetrachloride is 4.21 kg   (as given).

Since, 1 kg = 1000 g

Thus, 4.21 kg = 4210 g

Utilizing the values in formula (1):

1.59 g/mL = \frac{4210 g}{volume}

volume = \frac{4210 g}{1.59 g/mL}

volume = 2647.799 mL

Since, 1 mL = 0.001 L

Hence, 2647.799 mL = 2.65 L

The resulting volume of carbon tetrachloride is 2.65 L.

A specific amount of energy is emitted when excited electrons in an atom in a sample of an element return to the ground state.Th
castortr0y [2921]
The answer is C. The specific amount of energy released when excited electrons fall back to the ground state produces an emission spectrum. That energy is emitted as photons with precise wavelengths corresponding to the energy differences between levels. Because each element yields a characteristic set of wavelengths, the emission spectrum can be used to identify the element in the sample.
