Aminah could not obtain a good separation using the separation technique as the liquid
obtained was cloudy. She suspected that the solid particles in the mixture were too fine.
Explain why Aminah could not obtain a good separation of the mixture.

your answer is a. the enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
