8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

<u><em>What is the potential energy of a 2-kg book sitting on a shelf 2 meters above the ground?</em></u>

<em></em>

PE = MGH, that is, potential energy = mass x gravity x height.

2*2*9.8=

39.2 joules

An electrochemical cell is powered by the half reactions shown below.
andrezito [222]
Reduction reactions are those reactions that reduce the oxidation number of a substance. Hence, the product side of the reaction must contain excess electrons. The opposite is true for oxidation reactions. When you want to determine the potential difference expressed in volts between the cathode and anode, the equation would be: E,reduction - E,oxidation. 

To cancel out the electrons, the e- in the reactions must be in opposite sides. To do this, you reverse the equation with the negative E0, then replacing it with the opposite sign. 

Pb(s) --> Pb2+ +2e-      E0 = +0.13 V
Ag+ + e-  ---> Ag           E0 = +0.80 V

Adding up the E0's would yield an overall electric cell potential of +0.93 V.

When you assume that the gas is behaving ideally, the gas molecules are very far from each other that they do not have any intermolecular forces. If it behaves this way, you can assume the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT, where

P is the pressure
V is the volume
n is the number of moles
R is a gas constant
T is the absolute temperature

When the process goes under constant pressure (and assuming same number of moles),

P/nR = T/V = constant, therefore,

T₁/V₁=T₂/V₂

If V₂ = V₁(1+0.8) = 1.8V₁, then,

T₂/T₁ = 1.8V₁/V₁

Cancelling V₁,

T₂/300=1.8
T₂ =540 K

If you do not assume ideal gas, you use the compressibility factor, z. The gas equation would now become

PV =znRT

However, we cannot solve this because we don't know the value of z₁ and z₂. There will be more unknowns than given so we won't be able to solve the problem. But definitely, the compressibility factor method is more accurate because it does not assume ideality.
