Answer:

Metal cylinder: Work is <em>positive</em>

Foam: Heat is <em>positive</em>.

Explanation:

Work is done as a resultant force acts along a displacement. Heat is the flow of energy from one body to another, resulting in a either a rise or a drop in temperature of the bodies. Work and Heat are forms of energy and they can either be assigned a positive or negative sign with respect to a thermodynamic system.

If work is done on a body (thermodynamic system), the work is negative. On the other hand, if work is done by the body, it is termed as a positive work. Heat is positive when it flows into a thermodynamic system and negative when it is lost by the system.

In this case, though the metal cylinder is rolled up a ramp, the metal cylinder does a positive work along the displacement. Considering the foam, heat is gained by the foam (thermodynamic system) as it cools the environment, thus, heat is positive.

4. A student started with a 0.032 g sample of copper which he took through the series of reactions described in this experiment.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Y=48.6\%

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can consider the following chemical reaction for the oxidation of copper which only occurs at high temperatures:

2Cu+O_2\rightarrow 2CuO

In such a way, for 0.032 grams of copper, the following grams of copper (II) oxide (black product) are yielded:

m_{CuO}=0.032gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.546gCu} *\frac{2molCuO}{2molCu}*\frac{79.546gCuO}{1molCuO}  =0.078gCuO

Therefore, the percent yield is:

Y=\frac{0.038g}{0.078g}*100\%\\ \\Y=48.6\%

Best regards.

What mass of Na2SO4 is needed to make 2.5L of 2.0M solution? (Na=23g; S=32g; O=16g)
zaharov [31]
The molar mass of Na₂SO₄ - 
2 x Na - 2 x23 = 46
1 x S - 1 x 32 = 32 
4 x O - 4 x 16 = 64 
total = 46 + 32 + 64 = 142 g/mol
the molarity of solution - 2.0 M 
in 1 L of solution , 2.0 moles
Therefore in 2.5 L - 2 mol/L x 2.5 L = 5 mol
then the mass of Na₂SO₄ required = 142 g/mol x 5 mol = 710 g
