7 Jacob has a bucket of ice. He covers the bucket with a lid and sets it in the sun. The ice melts into liquid water. How does the mass
of the ice compare with the mass of the water?
OA
The mass of the ice is less than the mass of the water
ОВ.
The mass of the ice is more than the mass of the water
OC.
The mass of the ice is the same as the mass of the water.
OD
There is no way to determine this from the information given.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
