The reason the temperature is colder is high altitude. It's colder at high altitude only if heat rises. The pressure in Earth's atmosphere, decreases with altitude.

Calculate the work (kJ) done during a reaction in which the internal volume expands from 20 L to 43 L against an outside pressur

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-10.0 kJ}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the work

w = - pΔV = -4.3 atm × (43 L - 20 L) = -4.3 × 23 L·atm = -98.9 L·atm

2. Convert litre-atmospheres to joules

$w = \text{-98.9 L\cdot$atm } \times \dfrac{\text{101.3 J}}{\text{1 L$\cdot$atm }} = \text{-10000 J} = \textbf{-10.0 kJ}\\\\\text{The work done is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-10.0 kJ}}$}$

The negative sign indicates that the work was done against the surroundings.

Gaseous methane reacts with gaseous oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. If 2.59 g of water is produc

max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The percent yield of the water is 31.98 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For methane:

Given mass of methane = 6.58 g

Molar mass of methane = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of methane}=\frac{6.58g}{16g/mol}=0.411mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 14.4 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{14.4g}{32g/mol}=0.45mol$

The chemical equation for the combustion of methane is:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 1 mole of methane

So, 0.45 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45=0.225mol$ of methane

As, given amount of methane is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

2 moles of oxygen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 0.45 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.45=0.45$ moles of water

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 0.45 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.45mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(0.45mol\times 18g/mol)=8.1g$

To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of water = 2.59 g

Theoretical yield of water = 8.1 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{2.59g}{8.1g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=31.98\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the water is 31.98 %
