Consider the reaction: HCN (aq) + H2O (l) ⇄ CN- (aq) + H3O + (aq) Which of the following statements will decrease the amount of

work the system could perform? (a) Boil off water from the container (increasing the concentration of all species) (b) Add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) (c) Selectively remove CNfrom the solution (d) Add water to the reaction vessel (e) Increase the concentration of the HCN

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction shows that hydrogen cyanide acid has been added to water which results in the formation of hydronium ion and cyanide ion.

Also, when we add a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to HCN then it will help in accepting a proton (H^{+}) from hydrogen cyanide. As a result, formation of CN^{-} anion will be rapid and easy.

This will make the system not to do any extra work. So, amount of work done by system will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) will decrease the amount of work the system could perform.

The air inside a bicycle tire pump has 27 joules of heat conducted away from while 77.9 joules of work done are being done on it
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

51 J

Explanation:

The air inside a bicycle tire pump has 27 joules of heat conducted away. By convention, when heat is released, it takes the negative sign, so Q = -27 J.

77.9 joules of work done are being done on the air inside a bicycle tire pump. By convention, when work is being done on the system, it takes the positive sign, so W = 77.9 J

We can calculate the change in the internal energy (ΔU) using the following expression.

ΔU = Q + W

ΔU = (-27 J) + 77.9 J

ΔU =  51 J

0.450 mol of aluminum hydroxide is allowed to react with 0.550 mol of sulfuric acid; the reaction which ensues is: 2Al(OH)3(s) +
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.1 moles of water

Explanation:

                     2Al(OH)₃  +   3H₂SO₄   ⇒   Al₂(SO₄)₃  +   6H₂O

                       0.45 mol      0.55 mol                                ?

Process

1.- Calculate the limiting reactant

Theoretical proportion

       Al(OH)₃ / H₂SO₄ = 2/3 = 0.667

Experimental proportion

       Al(OH)₃ / H₂SO₄ = 0.45 / 0.55 = 0.81

From the proportions, we conclude that the limiting reactant is H₂SO₄

2.- Calculate the moles of H₂O

                        3 moles of H₂SO₄ ----------------  6 moles of water

                        0.55 moles of H₂SO₄ -----------    x

                        x = (0.55 x 6) / 3

                        x = 3.3 / 3

                       x = 1.1 moles of water
