Answer : At constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Explanation :

Work done : Any quantity that flows across the boundary of a system during a change in its state and it completely convertible into the lifting of a weight in the surroundings.

Formula for work done is:

w=-p_{ext}dV

Sign convention :

  • When volume expand then system work that means work done by the system.

w = (-ve)

  • When volume compress then surrounding work that means work done on the system.

w = (+ve)

The given reaction is:

Hg(l)\rightarrow Hg(g)

This is a evaporation process in which phase changes from liquid state to gaseous state at constant temperature.

At constant pressure, work depends only on volume.

In evaporation process, the volume expand that means work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Sign convention is, w = (-ve)

Thus, at constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

What else is produced when sodium carbonate decomposes? Na2CO3 Na2O +
andriy [413]

When a single compound breaks down into two or more compounds or elements in a chemical reaction then it is known as decomposition reaction.

The chemical symbol for sodium carbonate is Na_2CO_3.

The decomposition of sodium carbonate is:

Na_2CO_3\rightarrow Na_2O+ CO_2

The decomposition of sodium bicarbonate, Na_2CO_3 will result in the formation of sodium oxide, Na_2O and carbon dioxide, CO_2.

Hence, carbon dioxide, CO_2 will produce with sodium oxide, Na_2O on decomposition of Na_2CO_3.
