To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.
Answer:
The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.
Explanation:
Thermodynamic work is called the transfer of energy between the system and the environment by methods that do not depend on the difference in temperatures between the two. When a system is compressed or expanded, a thermodynamic work is produced which is called pressure-volume work (p - v).
The pressure-volume work done by a system that compresses or expands at constant pressure is given by the expression:
W system= -p*∆V
Where:
- W system: Work exchanged by the system with the environment. Its unit of measure in the International System is the joule (J)
- p: Pressure. Its unit of measurement in the International System is the pascal (Pa)
- ∆V: Volume variation (∆V = Vf - Vi). Its unit of measurement in the International System is cubic meter (m³)
In this case:
- p= 10 atm= 1.013*10⁶ Pa (being 1 atm= 101325 Pa)
- ΔV= 2 L- 20 L= -18 L= -0.018 m³ (being 1 L=0.001 m³)
Replacing:
W system= -1.013*10⁶ Pa* (-0.018 m³)
Solving:
W system= 18234 J

I believe that is a plant called Wisteria.
