So I saw that, according to the question, the rate of change of the volume is INCREASING at a RATE that is......
Shouldn't that mean the differential equation will be (d^2 v)/ (dt^2) = ...... , or am I misunderstanding the question?
Also is this a realistic AP calc AB question?
Thank you
The reaction is: 2 P(s) + 10 HF(g) ---> 2 PF5(g) + 7 H2(g)
I Initially assumed that the reaction decreases entropy due to a lower amount of moles of gas in the reactants vs products, but apparently the fact that "P" was converted into solid resulted in an increase in entropy.
So is this question a bit grey, or is there a definite answer, and should worry about such a nuanced question like this? Or am I just misunderstanding the rules that govern the sign of entropy.
