When fuel is burned in a cylinder equipped with a piston, the volume expands from 0.255 L to 1.45 L against an external pressure

of 1.02 atm. In addition, 875 J is emitted as heat. What is the DE for the burning of the fuel?

Answer : The value of \Delta E for the burning of the fuel is, -998.5 joules.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the work done.

Formula used :

w=-p_{ext}dV\\\\w=-p_{ext}(V_2-V_1)

where,

w = work done  = ?

p_{ext} = external pressure = 1.02 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 0.255 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = 1.45 L

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get :

w=-p_{ext}(V_2-V_1)

w=-(1.02atm)\times (1.45-0.255)L

w=-1.22L.atm=-1.22\times 101.3J=-123.5J

conversion used : (1 L.atm = 101.3 J)

Now we have to calculate the change in internal energy of the system.

\Delta E=q+w

\Delta E=-875J+(-123.5J)

\Delta E=-998.5J

Therefore, the value of \Delta E for the burning of the fuel is, -998.5 joules.

Which symbol can be used to indicate the pressure at which a chemical reaction is carried out? 25 degrees Celsius over a right a
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

2 atm

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are carried out at a certain rate. Sometimes that rate is quite slow, so we want to speed things up, which is usually used by increasing temperature, increasing pressure or adding a catalyst (a substance that increases the rate without changing itself).

If this is the case, then, when writing a chemical equation, we state these special conditions over a right arrow.

Now let's look at the answers:

- 25°C is a value and unit of temperature

- ∆ is a symbol that denotes change

- 2 atm is a value and unit of pressure (atmosphere is old unit for pressure)

- Pt is a chemical symbol for platinum, an element often used as a catalyst.

So, the correct answer is C) 2 atm

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Nitrifying Bacteria are a group of aerobic bacteria important in the nitrogen cycle as converters of soil ammonia to nitrates, compounds usable by plants. An example is nitrosomonas or nitrobacter and species in that family.

The schematic diagram is attached below, which summarises the oxidation of ammonia or free nitrogen in the soil to nitrates for the cowpea plant's utilisation.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Answer is
C. 2.07 M


For explanation

M1V1 = M2V2

M2 = (M1V1)/V2

M2 = (1.5M x 345ml) / 250 ml

:. M2 = 2.07 M
