Why NaCl is very soluble but not CaO is only slightly soluble in water?
Its all to do with enthlapy and entropy. Anything which is soluble usually has a negative standard enthlapy of solution - the energy involved when 1 mole of solute dissolves in a solvent to give an infinately dilute solution. However, NaCl has a slightly positive enthalpy of solution, yet it dissolves. The reason for this is entropy - the change in the amount of disorder. When NaCl dissolves in solution, there is more chaos, more molecules within the solution. Any process that has a large positive entropy change will be favourable - spontaneous and can occur (reaction will 'go'). However, with CaO, the Ca2+ formed in solution has a high affinity (attraction to) for water molecules, hence a lot of water molecules are arranged orderly - less chaos and hence a negative entropy. This should in effect make the compound insoluble, however, the slight solubility is due to it still having a negative enthalpy change of solution - hence despite entropy it is still slightly soluble. (You may be asking how is dissolving CaO possible if entropy is negative? The entropy of the system maybe negative, but the entropy of the surroundings is positive (dissolving gives out heat - exothermic), hence the overall entropy (sum of both entropies) is positive and the reaction will 'go'.
Calculate the entropy of vaporization per mole of ethanol Given enthalpy change is 109.8 JK-1 mol-1 and boiling point of ethanol is 78.50C?
OK.With entalpy od vaporization and temperature of vaporization is very easy to calculate entropy of vaporization of etanol.So the equation to calculate this is:Delta_S=-Delta_H/TbWhere:Delta_S= Entropy of vaporizationDelta_H=Entalpy of vaporizationTb= Normal Boiling point temperatureSo the Delta_S become:Delta_S=-(-109000.8)/(78.5+273)Delta_S=310.1 J.mol-1.K-1
Water and ethanol can be separated by heating the ethanol until it boils away from the water What type of change is this?
Type your answer here..molecular change
Is the condensation of ethanol a physical change?
yes!
Is evaporation of ethanol a physical change?
Yes, evaporation, melting, and freezing are all physical changes. For it to be a chemical change, the substance would have to become a different substance. Evaporated ethanol is still ethanol, it is just in gas form.
What describe the entropy change as a solution is made from a liquid and solid?
In this case the entropy increase.

Why does the color of potassium permanganate not disappear when excess of ethanol is added to it?
KMnO4 is pink in a solution without oxidizing reagents. Adding ethanol should change it to a brown solution. If adding ethanol can not change the solution to brown, then its environment is already acidic and will not reduce.

What is true about entropy?
Entropy is not change. Entropy is disorder.
Function of entropy in climate change?
The climate is not affected by entropy.
How does the entropy of a system change for condensation of water?
The entropy is lower.
