Gases A and B are confined to a cylinder and piston and react to form product C. As the reaction occurs, the system loses 1189 J

of heat to surroundings. The piston moves downward as the gases react to form a solid. As the volume of the gas decreases under the constant pressure of the atmosphere, the surroundings do 311 J of work on the system. What is the change in the internal energy of the system

Answer:

The change in the internal energy of the system -878 J

Explanation:

Given;

energy lost by the system due to heat, Q = -1189 J (negative because energy was lost by the system)

Work done on the system, W = -311 J (negative because work was done on the system)

change in internal energy of the system, Δ U = ?

First law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system (ΔU) equals the net heat transfer into the system (Q) minus the net work done by the system (W).

ΔU = Q - W

ΔU = -1189 - (-311)

ΔU = -1189 + 311

ΔU = -878 J

Therefore, the change in the internal energy of the system -878 J

1. If I have 45 L of He in a balloon at 25 degrees celsius and increase the temperature of the
Greeley [361]

Use Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2. We assume the pressure and mass of the helium is constant. The units for temperature must be in Kelvin to use this equation (x °C = x + 273.15 K).

We want to solve for the new volume after the temperature is increased from 25 °C (298.15 K) to 55 °C (328.15 K). Since the volume and temperature of a gas at a constant pressure are directly proportional to each other, we should expect the new volume of the balloon to be greater than the initial 45 L.

Rearranging Charles' Law to solve for V2, we get V2 = V1T2/T1.  

(45 L)(328.15 K)/(298.15 K) = 49.5 ≈ 50 L (if we're considering sig figs).

A compound of mercury and oxygen is heated in order to decompose the compound. A 4.08 grams sample of mercury oxide upon heating
arlik [135]

Answer:

HgO (empirical formula)

Explanation:

4.08 - 3.78 = 0.3g (oxygen)

(\frac{4.08}{201})   \:  \:  \:  (\frac{0.3}{16} )

0.02 : 0.02

0.02/0.02 : 0.02/0.02

1 : 1 (ratio)

HgO ( empirical formula)

2HgO ----> 2Hg + O2 ( your equation correct)

Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 235 subscript 92 upper U right arrow superscript 4 subscript 2 upper H e. What
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

\rm_{90}^{231}\text{Th}

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \,  _{2}^{4}\text{He} + X

Let's write X as a nuclear symbol.

\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \,  _{2}^{4}\text{He} + _{Z}^{A}\text{X}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and of the subscripts must be the same on each side of the reaction arrow.

Then

235 = 4 + A , so A = 235 - 4 = 231, and

 92 = 2 + Z , so  Z =   92 - 2 =  90

And your nuclear equation becomes

\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \,  _{2}^{4}\text{He} +\, _{90}^{231}\text{X}

Element 90 is thorium, so  

\rm X = _{90}^{231}\text{Th}

4 Al + 3 O2 --> 2 Al2O3
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 7.4 moles of Aluminum

Explanation:

Data

moles of Al = ?

moles of Al₂O₃ = 3.7

Balanced chemical reaction

                4 Al  +  3 O₂  ⇒  2 Al₂O₃

To solve this problem use proportions and cross multiplication. Use the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation.

                4 moles of Aluminum ----------------- 2 moles of Al₂O₃

                 x                                  ----------------- 3.7 moles of Al₂O₃

                            x = (3.7 x 4) / 2

                            x = 14.8 / 2

                            x = 7.4 moles of Aluminum
