Methanol, CH3OH, has been considered as a possible fuel. Consider its oxidation: 2 CH3OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) ΔG =

-1372 kJ/mol. What is the maximum work that can be obtained by oxidizing 0.50 mol of methanol under standard conditions?

<u>Answer:</u> Maximum work that can be obtained by given amount of methanol is -343kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

2CH_3OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g);\Delta G_{rxn}=-1372kJ/mol

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of methanol does a work of 1372 kJ.

So, 0.5 moles of methanol will do a work of = \frac{1372kJ}{2}\times 0.5=343kJ

Hence, maximum work that can be obtained by given amount of methanol is -343kJ.

g A radioactive isotope of mercury, 197Hg, decays to gold, 197Au, with a disintegration constant of 0.0108hrs.-1. What % of the
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

7.49% of Mercury

Explanation:

Let N₀ represent the original amount.

Let N represent the amount after 10 days.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Rate of disintegration (K) = 0.0108 h¯¹

Time (t) = 10 days

Percentage of Mercury remaining =?

Next, we shall convert 10 days to hours. This can be obtained as follow:

1 day = 24 h

Therefore,

10 days = 10 day × 24 h / 1 day

10 days = 240 h

Thus, 10 days is equivalent to 240 h.

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of Mercury remaining as follow:

Rate of disintegration (K) = 0.0108 h¯¹

Time (t) = 10 days

Percentage of Mercury remaining =?

Log (N₀/N) = kt /2.303

Log (N₀/N) = 0.0108 × 240 /2.303

Log (N₀/N) = 2.592 / 2.303

Log (N₀/N) = 1.1255

Take the anti log of 1.1255

N₀/N = anti log 1.1255

N₀/N = 13.3506

Invert the above expression

N/N₀ = 1/13.3506

N/N₀ = 0.0749

Multiply by 100 to express in percent.

N/N₀ = 0.0749 × 100

N/N₀ = 7.49%

Thus, 7.49% of Mercury will be remaining after 10 days
