Answer:

-112.876J

Explanation:

In order to solve this question, we would need to incorporate Stoichiometry, which involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data.

Here's a balanced equation for the reaction:

16KNO_3(s) + 24C(s) + S_8(s)    \to 24CO_2(g) + 8N_2(g) + 8K_2S(s)

Let us define P - V work as;

w_{pv} = - P_{external}  \triangle Volume

where  \triangle (Volume) = (V_{final} - V_{initial})

External pressure is given as  1.00atm , therefore the work solely depends on the change in volume and since the reactants are solids, none of the reactants contribute to the volume. Hence,  V_i = 0.

To find the volume of the products, we need to first find the amount of moles of the product made from  2.40_gKNO_3, using the molar mass of  KNO_3  which is 101.1032 g/mol  

2.40_gKNO_3 . {\frac{1molKNO_3}{101.1032_g}} = 0.0237molKNO_3

Now let us convert moles of  KNO_3  into moles of CO_2 and N_2  using the stoichiometric ratios from our balanced equation of the reaction.

0.0237molKNO_3 . {\frac{24molCO_2}{16molKNO_3}} = 0.0356molCO_2

0.0237molKNO_3 . {\frac{8molN_2}{16molKNO_3}} = 0.01185molN_2

K_2S is not factored into the volume calculation because it is a solid.

Now let us also convert the moles of  CO_2  and  N_2 into grams using their respective molar masses.

0.0356molCO_2 . {\frac{44.01_g}{1molCO_2}} = 1.567_gCO_2

0.01185molN_2 . {\frac{28.014_g}{1molN_2}} = 0.332_gN_2

We will now proceed to convert grams into volume using the density values provided.

1.567_gCO_2 . {\frac{1L}{1.830_g}} = 0.856LCO_2

0.332_gN_2 . {\frac{1L}{1.165_g}} = 0.285LN_2

Summing up the two volumes, we get the final volume

0.856L + 0.258L = 1.114L = V_f

Plugging everything into the w_{pv} equation, we get:

w_{pv} = -1atm(1.114L - 0L) = -1.114L.atm

Finally, let us convert L.atm into joules using the conversion rate of;

1L.atm = 101.325J\\-1.114L.atm. {\frac{101.325J}{1L.atm}} = -112.876J

Write a complete scientific explanation to account for why the ball that was moving faster caused more flour to spread out.​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

It is due to the large impulse is imparted on the flour.

Explanation:

A ball is moving faster.

When a ball is moving faster strikes to the flour, the change in momentum is large and thus the impulse imparted on the flour is large.

Impulse = change in momentum

So, as the flour experiences large impulse and large momentum so that the flour spreads out.

If the change in momentum is large so the flour spreads out is more.

The speed of a moving bullet can be deter-
Bad White [126]

Answer:

<em>v = 381 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Linear Speed</u>

The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}

Where:

x = Distance traveled

t = Time needed to travel x

We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.

The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:

\displaystyle \omega=\frac{\theta}{t}

Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{\theta}{\omega}

The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:

\theta=14*\pi/180=0.2443\ rad

The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:

\omega = 1436*2\pi/60=150.3776\ rad/s

Thus the time is:

\displaystyle t=\frac{0.2443\ rad}{150.3776\ rad/s}

t = 0.0016 s

Thus the speed of the bullet is:

\displaystyle v=\frac{0.61}{0.0016}

v = 381 m/s
