One mole of an ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a movable piston. The temperature is constant at 77°C. Weights are remo

ved suddenly from the piston to give the following sequence of three pressures.
a. P1 = 5.50 atm (initial state)
b. P2 = 2.43 atm
c. P3 = 1.00 atm (final state)

What is the total work (in joules) in going from the initial to the final state by way of the preceding two steps?

Answer:

The total work is 4957.45J

Explanation:

For an ideal gas, at constant temperature the definition of work (W) is

W = - P.dV = - n.R.T \int\limits^i_f {\frac{dV}{V} \\W = - n.R.T. Ln (\frac{V_{f}}{V_{I}})\\W = - n.R.T. Ln (\frac{P_{i}}{P_{f}})

where P is the pressure, V the volume, n the moles number, T the temperature and R the gas constant.

To solve the problem is necessary to replace the two steps in the equation

Stape 1: n  = 1 mol, R = 0.082atm.L/K.mol, T = 77ºC = 350K, Pi = 5.50atm and Pf = 2.43atm.

W_{1} = - 1molx0.082\frac{atm.L}{K.mol}x350KxLn (\frac{5.50atm}{2.43atm}) = 23.44atm.Lx101.325\frac{J}{atm.L} =2375.44J

Stape 2: n  = 1 mol, R = 0.082atm.L/K.mol, T = 77ºC = 350K, Pi = 2.43atm and Pf = 1.00atm.

W_{2} = - 1molx0.082\frac{atm.L}{K.mol}x350KxLn (\frac{2.43atm}{1.00atm}) = 25.48atm.Lx101.325\frac{J}{atm.L} =2582.01J

The total work is the sum of the two steps

W = W_{1} + W_{2} = 2375.44J + 2582.01J = 4957.45J

Scientists' belief that an atom is a solid sphere, is good enough to explain; PLZ I HAVE LESS TIME!!!!
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its quite vague, instead you could say an atom is the smallest building block which further consists of subatomic particles like protons, neutrons and electrons :)

Hope thi helps :) and I'd appreciate if you'd mark brainliest because ive been stuck on the same rank for quite a long time :(

Which substance is commonly used to produce biomass fuel?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Corn stalks  

Explanation:

Biomass fuel is produced by living or once-living organisms.

The most common biomass fuels used for energy come from plants, such as corn and soy.

B is wrong. Yellowcake is a refined form of uranium ore.  

C and D are wrong. Coal and natural gas are not biomass fuels.
