Answer: Polar Easterlies

Explanation: Winds flow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. They originate in the north and south pole creating high pressure zones which generates an outflow. This outflow is then directed from east to west and hence the term used to describe these winds is Polar Easterlies.

Answer:

The same number of molecules, 6.0 × 10²³ molecules.

Explanation:

The amount of any given gas that can be stored in a container depends on the temperature, pressure and volume of the container. It does not depend on the nature (or identity) of the gas.

So if a 10-liter flask contains 6.0 × 10²³ molecules of hydrogen gas, it will contain the same amount of molecules of any other gas when temperature and pressure remain constant.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The enthalpy of the solution is -35.9 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of lithiumchloride = 3.00 grams

Volume of water = 100 mL

Change in temperature = 6.09 °C

Step 2: Calculate mass of water

Mass of water = 1g/mL * 100 mL = 100 grams

Step 3: Calculate heat

q = m*c*ΔT

with m = the mass of water = 100 grams

with c = the heat capacity = 4.184 J/g°C

with ΔT = the chgange in temperature = 6.09 °C

q = 100 grams * 4.184 J/g°C * 6.09 °C

q =2548.1 J

Step 4: Calculate moles lithiumchloride

Moles LiCl = mass LiCl / Molar mass LiCl

Moles LiCl = 3 grams / 42.394 g/mol

Moles LiCl = 0.071 moles

Step 5: Calculate enthalpy of solution

ΔH = 2548.1 J /0.071 moles

ΔH = 35888.7 J/mol = 35.9 kJ/mol (negative because it's exothermic)

The enthalpy of the solution is -35.9 kJ/mol

Verdich [7]

Answer:

a) Q = 0; W = 0; ΔU = 0; ΔH = 0; ΔS = 0.09 atm.L/K

b) Q = 1250 J; W = 0; ΔU = 1250 J; ΔH = 1250 J; ΔS = -0.0235 atm.L/K

c) Q = 3653.545 J; W = - 3653.545 J; ΔU = 0; ΔH = 0; ΔS = - 3653.545 J

d) Q = - 2080 J; W = 830 J; ΔU = - 1250 J; ΔH = - 2080 J; ΔS = - 5.984 J/K

Explanation:

a) If there is a vacuum, the work is zero, as it is a free expansion, the volume increases, the pressure decreases, the temperature is constant and the internal energy is constant.

∴ n = 1 mole

∴ PV = RTn....ideal gas

∴ P1 = 10 atm

∴ R = 0.082 atm.L/K.mol

∴ T = 300 K = T2

∴ V2 = 3*V1

⇒ W = 0.....expands freely into vacuum

⇒ ΔU = Q = 0....first law

⇒ ΔS = - nR Ln(P2/P1).....ideal gas

∴ V1*P1/T1 = V2*P2/T2

∴ T1 = T2 = 300 K

⇒ P2 = V1*P1 / V2 = V1*P1 / 3V1 = 10 atm/3 = 3.33 atm

⇒ ΔS = - (1mol)*(0.082 atm.L/K.mol) Ln ( 3.33/10)

⇒ ΔS = 0.09 atm.L/K

∴ ΔH = ΔU + (P2V2 - P1V1) = 0 + 0 = 0

b) heated reversibly at constant volume:

⇒ W = 0 ...at constant volume

∴ T2 = 400 K; T1 = 300 K

∴ V1 = V2

⇒ Q = ΔU = CvΔT....first law

∴ Cv = 12.5 J/K.mol.....monoatomic ideal gas

∴ ΔT = 400 - 300 = 100 K

⇒ Q = ΔU = 12.5 J/mol.K * 100K = 1250 J/mol * 1 mol = 1250 J

∴ ΔH = ΔU + PΔV = ΔU + 0 = 1250 J

∴ ΔS = - nR Ln (P2/P1)

∴ P2/T2 = P1/T1...constant volume

∴ P1 = 3.33 atm

⇒ P2 = P1*T2 / T1 = (3.33 atm)*(400K) / (300K) = 4.44 atm

⇒ ΔS = - (1mol)*(0.082atm.L/K.mol) Ln (4.44/3.33)

⇒ ΔS = - 0.0235 atm.L/K

c) reversibly expanded at constant temperature:

∴ T1 = T2 = 400K

∴ V2 = 3*V1

∴ ΔU = 0...constant temperature

⇒ Q = - W....fisrt law

∴ W = - ∫ PdV..... reversibly expansion

∴ P = nRT/V... ideal gas

⇒ W = - nRT ∫ dV/V

⇒ W = - nRT Ln (V2/V1)

⇒ W = - (1mol)*(8.314 J/K.mol) Ln (3)

⇒ W = - 9.134 J/K *400K = - 3653.545 J

⇒ Q = - W = 3653.545 J

⇒ ΔH = ΔU + P1V1 - P2V2 = 0 + nRT1 - nRT2 = 0 + 0 = 0

∴ ΔS = - nR Ln(P2/P1)

∴ P1 = 4.44 atm

⇒ P2 = V1*P1*T2/ V2*T1 = V1*(4.44atm)*(400K) / (3.V1)*(400K)

⇒ P2 = 4.44atm/3 = 1.48 atm

⇒ ΔS = - (1mol)*(8.314 J/mol.K) Ln (1.48/4.44)

⇒ ΔS = -9.134J/K * 400K = - 3653.545 J

d) reversibly cooled at constant pressure:

∴ T2 = 300 K; T1 = 400 K

∴ P2 = P1

⇒ Q = ΔH = CpΔT

∴ Cp = 20.8 J/K.mol

∴ ΔT = 300 - 400 = - 100 K

⇒ Q = ΔH = 20.8 J/mol.K * ( -100K) = - 2080 J/mol * 1mol = - 2080 J

⇒ ΔU = nCvΔT = (1mol)*(12.5 J/mol.K)*( - 100K) = -1250 J

⇒ W = ΔU - Q = ΔU - ΔH = -1250 J - ( - 2080 J ) = 830 J

∴ ΔS = ∫ δQ/T = ∫ nCpdT/T

⇒ ΔS = nCp Ln (T2/T1)

⇒ ΔS = (1mol)*(20.8 J/mol.K) Ln (300/400) = - 5.984 J/K
