When tracking the difference of two values over time, what would a negative delta indicate?


What does it mean when delta H is a negative number?

it means that heat is released during the reaction and a + delta H means that heat is required/absorbed.


What does it mean by positive and negative delta S?

Means a increase or decrease in disorder in the reaction depending on the sign ( "-" or"+")


Which atom in the carbon-chlorine bond is assigned the delta negative charge?

The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.


Which atom in the carbon-chlorine bond is assigned the delta negative charge.?

The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.


Is the process of KNO3 dissolving in water spontaneous at all temperatures studied?

yes delta s is positive, delta h is negative making delta g negative at all temps


Can delta s be negative Entropy?

yes


When a chemical reaction has a negative delta G is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

When a chemical reaction has a negative delta G, the reaction is exothermic because delta G is the change in energy of a system and the change in its entropy. If the effect of a reaction is to reduce G, the process will be spontaneous so delta G is negative. Hope this helps :)


What negative contribution does delta airline release?

pollution


What determine whether a reaction took place?

Use the following equation: delta G = delta H - T*deltaS. A reaction is spontaneous if delta G is negative. A reaction will always be spontaneous (under any temperature) only if the change in enthalpy (delta H) is negative and the change in entropy (delta S) is positive. If this is not the case, the reaction will only be spontaneous (negative delta G) for a range of temperatures (or could be always non-spontaneous)


What does Delta Tau Delta mean?

What is delta negative and delta positive?

delta is used in differential calculus as well as other places to indicate a very small amount. Taking water as an example, the oxygen carries a very samll charge and the hydrogens a small positive charge even though the molecule is covalently bonded. The small charge on the hydrogen (as opposed to a full positive charge) is called delta popsitive) and thus the charge on the oxygen is delta negative or more strictly 2 delta negative.
