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

Answer:
2 HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + 2 H₂O
Explanation:
Let's consider the reaction between acetic acid and strontium hydroxide. This is a neutralization reaction, in which an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water. The unbalanced equation is:
HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + H₂O
We have 1 acetate ion to the left and 2 to the right, so we will multiply HC₂H₃O₂(aq) by 2.
2 HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + H₂O
Finally, we multiply water by 2 to get the balanced equation.
2 HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + 2 H₂O
Answer:
when chemical bonds between atoms are formed or broken
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy without being used up in the reaction. After the reaction occurs, a catalyst returns to its original state and so catalysts can be used over and over again.
