26. Systems in nature tend to undergo changes that
result in: 1 An increase in both energy and entropy. 2 A decrease in both energy and entropy. 3 An increase in energy and a decrease in entropy. 4 A decrease in energy and an increase in entropy. |
1 | Nature favors exothermic (lower energy) and an increase in entropy (more randomness) | |
27. What is the general formula for the homologous
series that includes ethyne? 1 CₙHₙ 2 CₙH₂ₙ 3 CₙH₂ₙ₋₂ 4 CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ |
3 | Look on Table Q
ethyne is the example and the general formula is next to it |

28. Given the equation representing a reaction:
2KI + F₂ → 2KF + I₂ When 2.0 moles of electrons are gained by fluorine, how many
moles of electrons are lost by iodine? |
2 | electrons lost must equal electron gained | |
