For each of the processes, determine whether the entropy of the system is increasing or decreasing. The system is underlined. 1. a snowman melts on a spring day
2. a document goes through a paper shredder
3. a water bottle cools down in a refrigerator
4. silver tarnishes
5. dissolved sigar precipitates out of water to form rock candy
A. Entropy is increasing
B. Entropy is decreasing

A3.37-mg sample of protein was chemically digested to convert its nitrogen into ammonia and then diluted to 100.0 ml. then 10.0 ml of this solution was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask and treated with 5 ml of phenol solution plus 2 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution. the sample was diluted to 50.0 ml, and the absorbance at 625 nm was measured in a 1.00-cm cuvette and found to be 0.486. for reference, a standard solution was prepared from 10.0 mg of nh4cl (molar mass = 53.49 grams/mole) dissolved in 1.00 l of water. then 10.0 ml of this standard was placed in a 50-ml volumetric flask, treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.323. finally, a reagent blank was prepared using distilled water in place of unknown, it was treated in the same manner as the unknown, and the absorbance found to be 0.076. calculate the weight percent of nitrogen in the protein.

Part b: study of equilibrium on solubility: mg(oh)2(s) ⇌ mg2+(aq) + 2 oh–(aq) cloudy clear (pink) 7. a. b. 8. a. b. 9. 10. 11. 12. when adding concentrated hydrochloric acid, how did the appearance of the equilibrium mixture change? the change in appearance indicated a shift in the point of equilibrium. in which direction did the equilibrium shift? (l) left (r) right explain your answer to question 7a. you should indicate which ion was added to or removed from the equilibrium mixture. when adding edta, how did the appearance of the equilibrium mixture change? the change in appearance indicated a shift in the point of equilibrium. in which direction did the equilibrium shift? (l) left (r) right explain your answer to question 8a. you should indicate which ion was added to or removed from the equilibrium mixture. upon heating in which direction is the equilibrium shifting? upon cooling in which direction is the equilibrium shifting? is the forward reaction a. endothermic explain your answers to questions 9, 10, and 11. (l) left (r) right (l) left (r) right b. exothermic

Pegmatites are igneous rocks in which the individual minerals are very large. typically, the minerals are all light-colored quartz, feldspar and muscovite. if you were given a black and white photograph of a pegmatite in a quarry (where the rock has been blasted and broken), what physical properties could you use to identify those three minerals in this hypothetical photo? describe each mineral and the specific diagnostic properties. be specific.
