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

<h3>What is butane ?</h3>

One of the smallest liquid streams frequently created in a refinery is butane. Ten hydrogen atoms and four carbon atoms make up the butane molecule. Typically, butane is either marketed as a finished product or is blended into LPG or gasoline in tiny quantities.

It is frequently employed as a fuel for portable stoves and cigarette lighters, as a propellant in aerosols, as a heating fuel, as a refrigerant, and in the production of a broad variety of goods. Liquefied petroleum gas and butane both exist (LPG).

Butane has a low level of toxicity. In butane misuse, high exposure concentrations can be anticipated. Central nervous system (CNS) and cardiac consequences are the most frequently seen effects in cases of misuse.

Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.
Fittoniya [83]

Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Group of answer choices

hydrochloric acid

sodium bicarbonate

calcium carbonate

sodium chloride

sodium hydroxide

Answer:

calcium carbonate

Explanation:

A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.

A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.

Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Two sealed flasks each have a volume of 2.0 liters. Flask A contains N, O gas and Flask B contains H, gas both at 1
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Each gas have same number of molecules.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

Mathematical expression:

V ∝ n

V = Kn

V/n = K

k = constant

V = volume of gas

n = number of moles of gas

when volume change is changed from v1 to v2 and number of moles from n1 to n2 this law can be written as,

V1 / n1 = V2 /n2

This state that by increasing the number of moles of gas volume also goes to increase.

Why does potassium explode when exposed to water?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The highly unstable pure sodium or potassium wants to lose an electron and this splits the water atom, producing a negatively charged hydroxide ion and hydrogen and forming an explosive gas that ignites.
