Explanation:
A physical change is one that alters the physical properties of matter (particularly the form and state).
A chemical change is one in which new kind of matter is formed. It is always accompanied by energy changes (evolution or absorption of energy in form of heat or light or both).
Now, the salient differences between physical and chemical changes;
- Physical changes are easily reversible whereas chemical changes are not easily reversible.
- Physical changes lead to the production of no new kinds of matter whereas chemical changes leads to the production of new kinds of matter.
- Physical changes involves no change in mass whereas chemical changes involves change in mass.
- Physical changes require little energy whereas considerable amount of energy is needed for chemical changes.
Answer:
W = - 500 KJ
∴ the work is done on the system
Explanation:
isothermal system:
∴ ΔU = 0; ⇒ Q = W
∴ W = P1V1 -P2V2
⇒ W = ((100KPa)*(25m³)) - ((300KPa)*(10m³))
⇒ W = 2500KPa.m³ - 3000KPa,m³
⇒ W = - 500 KPa.m³ = - 500 KJ
∴ W (-) the work is done on the system
A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.
The molarity of KOH is 0.1055 M
<u><em> calculation</em></u>
Step 1: write the equation for reaction between H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O and KOH
H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O + 2 KOH → K₂C₂O₄ +4 H₂O
step 2: find the moles of H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O
moles = mass÷ molar mass
from periodic table the molar mass H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O= (1 x2) +(12 x2) +(16 x4) + 2(18)=126 g/mol
= 0.2000 g ÷ 126 g/mol =0.00159 moles
step 3: use the mole ratio to calculate the moles of KOH
H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O : KOH is 1:2
therefore the moles of KOH =0.00159 x 2 = 0.00318 moles
step 4: find molarity of KOH
molarity = moles/volume in liters
volume in liters = 30.12/1000=0.03012 L
molarity is therefore = 0.00318/0.03012 =0.1055 M
