A mixture of gases A2 and B2 are introduced to a slender metal cylinder that has one end closed and the other fitted with a pist

on that makes a gas-tight seal so that the gases are a closed system. The cylinder is submerged in a large beaker of water whose temperature is 25∘C, and a spark is used to trigger a reaction in the cylinder. At the completion of the reaction, the piston has moved downward, and the temperature of the water bath has increased to 28∘C. If we define the system as the gases inside the cylinder, which of the following best describes the signs of q, w, and ΔE for this reaction?
(a) q < 0, w < 0, ΔE < 0
(b) q < 0, w > 0, ΔE < 0
(c) q < 0, w > 0, the sign of ΔE cannot be determined from the information given
(d) q > 0, w > 0, ΔE > 0
(e) q > 0, w < 0, the sign of ΔE cannot be determined from the information given

Answer:

q < 0, w > 0, the sign of ΔE cannot be determined from the information given

Explanation:

Determination of sign of q

Temperature of the water bath before the reaction = 25 °C

Temperature of the water bath after the completion of the reaction = 28 °C

After the completion of the reaction, temperature of the water bath is increased that means heat is released during the reaction and flows out of the system.

If heat is absorbed by the system, then q is indicated by positive sign and if heat is released by the system, then q is indicated by negative sign.

As in the given case, heat is released by the system, so sign of q is negative, or q < 0

Determination of sign of w

After the completion of the reaction, piston moved downward, that means volume of the system decreases or compression occur. During the compression, work is done on the system.

if work is done on the system, sign of w is positive.

If work is done by the system, sign of w is negative.

In the given case, work is done on the system, therefore sign of w is positive, or w > 0

Determination of sign of ΔE

Relationship between ΔE, q and w is given by first law of thermodynamics:

ΔE = q + w

In this case, q is positive and w is negative, so the sign of ΔE depends of magnitude of q and w. As magnitude of w and q cannot be determined in this case, thus, the given information is insufficient for the determination of sign of ΔE.

So, among the given option, option c is correct.

q < 0, w > 0, the sign of ΔE cannot be determined from the information given

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N.
N76 [4]

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N, if the molar mass is 90± 5 g/mol the molecular formula is N₂O₄.

<h3>What is molar mass?</h3>

The molar mass of a chemical compound is determined by dividing its mass by the quantity of that compound, expressed as the number of moles in the sample, measured in moles. A substance's molar mass is one of its properties. The compound's molar mass is an average over numerous samples, which frequently have different masses because of isotopes.

<h3>How to find the molecular formula?</h3>

The whole-number multiple is defined as follows.

Whole-number multiple = \frac{molar mass (g/mol)}{empirical formula mass (g/mol)}

The empirical formula mass is shown below.

Mw of empirical formula = Mw of N+ 2 x (Mw of O)

                                      = 14.01 g/mol + 2 x (16.00 g/mol)

                                      = 46.01 g/mol

With the given molar mass or the molecular formula mass, we can get the whole-number multiple for the compound.

Whole-number multiple = \frac{90 g/mol }{46.01 g/mol} ≈ 2

Multiplying the subscripts of NO2 by 2, the molecular formula is N(1x2)O(2x2)= N2O4.

Calculate the number of moles of O2 gas held in a sealed 2.00 L tank at 3.50 atm and 25 ℃.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

n=0.286mol

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we consider oxygen as an ideal gas, for that reason, we use yhe ideal gas equation to compute the moles based on:

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}

Hence, at 3.50 atm and 25 °C for a volume of 2.00 L we compute the moles considering absolute temperature in Kelvins:

n=\frac{3.50atm*2.00L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}(25+273)K} \\\\n=0.286mol

Best regards.
