During an exothermic chemical reaction, a solid is consumed and a gas produced. a. yes b. no c. can't decide with information given.

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

For the reaction to be spontaneous, the Gibbs free energy of the reaction must come out to be negative.

The equation used to calculate Gibbs free energy follows:

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy is released in the form of heat. The enthalpy change of the reaction comes out to be negative for this kind of reaction.

Entropy change is defined as the change in the measure of randomness in the reaction. It is represented as . Randomness of gaseous particles is more than that of liquid which is further more than that of solids.

We are given:

A solid substance is converting into a gaseous substance.

As, the entropy is increasing. So, the entropy change is positive.

Thus, the above reaction is spontaneous.

Hence, the given statement is true.

nanotechnology is a powerful tool in biomaterials research as it creates numerous possibilities for the engineering of functional molecules. nano-bio refers to projected ability to incorporate biomimicry into various materials at nanoscale.  

sorry i was late, but i don't know what assignment your talking about, i'm in flvs as well, im in earth space science. but u are behind pace bc every class should be in the 3's or 4'
