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

A 12.82 g sample of a compound contains 4.09 g potassium (K), 3.71 g chlorine (Cl), and oxygen (O). Calculate the empirical form
Rina8888 [55]
The  empirical  formula of the  compound is  calculated  as  follows

first   calculate  the  mass  of  oxygen=  12-(4.09  +3.71)=  5.02g

then  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element,  moles  =  mass/  molar  mass

moles of   K  =  4.09g/39 g/mol(molar  mass  of K)  =  0.105  moles
moles  of Cl = 3.71g/35.5 g/mol(molar  mass  of Cl) =  0.105  moles
moles of  O  =  5.02g/ 16g/mol(molar  mass of  O) = 0.314  moles

then  calculate e  mole ratio by  dividing  each  mole  by  the  smallest  number  of  moles  (  0.105 moles)

K=0.105/0.105= 1
Cl=0.105 /0.105=1
O=  0.314/0.105=3

therefore  the  empirical   formula  = KClO3

When Niels Bohr refined the model of an atom,what new idea did he include?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Niels Bohr, refined the model of an atom by proposing a quantized shell structure atomic model in order to describe how the electrons are able to maintain stable orbits around the nucleus

Based on the predictions of classical mechanics the electron motion of the Rutherford model was unstable as the electrons where expected to have lost some energy during motion and thus having to come rest in the nucleus

According to the modification by Neils Bohr in 1913, electrons move in  shells or orbits of fixed energy and emission of electromagnetic radiation takes place only when electrons changes the orbit in which they move
