During winters, moisture condenses in the form of dew and can be seen on plant leaves and grass. The entropy of the system in such cases decreases as liquids possess lesser disorder as compared to gases. With reference to the second law, which statement in correct, for the above process?

Answer»

The randomness of the universe decreases
The randomness of the surroundings decreases
Increase in randomness of surroundings EQUALS the DECREASE in randomness of system
The increase in randomness of the surroundings is greater as compared to the decrease in randomness of the system.

Solution :As dev formation is spontaneous PROCESS therefore entropy or randomness of the universe will increase. As randomness of the system has decreased but randomness of the SURROUNDING will increase larger so that change is positive

During the process of crystallization, the funnel is usually preheated by passing through it just beforehand a little bit of hot pure solvent. This is done in order to (i) prevent undue cooling (ii) bring about the crystallization of most of the solute (iii) remove traces of impurity adhering to the crystals (iv) premature crystallization during filtration

Answer»

(i), (ii)
(ii), (iii)
(i), (iv)
(i), (iii)

Solution :Since the hot solution is almost saturated, the effect of thoroughly COOLING the filtered solution is to bring about the crystallization of most of the solute. When this process is complete, the crystals are filtered off using a Buchner funnel and flask and washed CAREFULLY with a little cold solvent to remove traces of impurity ADHERING to them FINALLY, the crystals are dried or are subjected to further RECRYSTALLIZATION until the desired state of purity is reached.
