Choose all the true statements.

-Liquid water has a lower entropy than liquid benzene at 25°C because of hydrogen bonding in water.

-Entropy is the main driving force in the formation of the DNA double helix.

-All elements in their standard states have an entropy of zero at 25°C.

-Reactions that involve only gases always have a positive change in entropy

-Evaporating a liquid has always a positive change in entropy freezing water is possible only if the entropy of the surroundings increases

-It is impossible to freeze ethanol because the change in entropy of the system is negative.

-Ice at 0°C has a higher entropy than liquid water at 0°C because the density of ice is lower than the density of water.

-Binding a substrate to an enzyme always lowers the entropy because the substrate loses translational and rotational degrees of freedom.

Five moles of TiCl4 are combined with two moles of Ti.

a) How many moles of TiCl3 are produced according to the following reaction?

3TiCl4 + Ti = 4TiCl3

I know the answer for A is 6.7 mols TiCl3.

I know 2 mols of Ti (4 mol TiCl3 / 1 mol Ti) = 8 mol and 5 mols TiCl4 (4 mols TiCl3 / 3 mols TiCl4) = 6.7 mols TiCl3

What I don't understand is where the 5 is coming from. Wouldn't the balanced equation use 6 and not 5?

This is my main question and I would appreciate any detailed replies to help me understand. Thank you.

: A suspension of colloids at room temperature (25°C) contains CaS04 in (a) 3 mM and (b) 30 mM concentration. Find the Debye length (in nm) for both the cases. Use relevant data given in lecture 12-13. (c) Why do you suppose the Debye length changes with change in salt concentration? Provide reasoning from colloidal science to support your answer. (d) If NaCI was used instead of CaS04, how would the Debye length values change for cases (a) and (b)? (No calculation necessary for part (d))
