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

Explain ways that organisms interact in helpful and harmful ways.
I am Lyosha [343]
Organisms are living things. Us humans are also living things, so we are helpful and harmful to other organisms. For example: we can help another human being with something, or we can help a plant/tree grow if we water it. In return, they also help us by providing us with oxygen. however, we can also be harmful to each other and the environment, for example: we can't hurt each other, or plant or animals by killing them or we can hurt insects by stepping on them. Therefore, organisms are helpful and harmful to each other.

Dimitri Mendeleev was the first to put elements together on a table. He knew there were elements missing but he noticed a trend in some of the elements known at the time. Sodium, Lithium and other alkali metals all have the same properties so he put them under the same column and created other columns with similar attributes (Halogens, Noble gases, Alkaline earth metals). Over the years, new elements were discovered and put into the rough outline that Mendeleev created.

I hope that is about what you wanted.

ehidna [41]
<span>The first method to determine the chemical composition of a substance in space was using light. By determining red shift in the observed spectrum of light they could determine the elements they were observing. Different elements change the way light behaves and from this scientists can determine the makeup of things such as stars and nebulas.</span>

When scientists are ready to publish the results of their experiments, why is it important for them to include a description of
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: To be able to not forget what have they done when they want to re-do it.

to make it easier for the next person to re-do the experiment.

Explanation:

the description of the procedure ensures that when the experiment  becomes of a success,specific steps are recorded for improvement of the experiment if maybe the experiment can be done at a short space of time.
