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.

Match each definition to the appropriate term.

Answer:

Enthalpy, Entropy, Spontaneity, Gibbs free energy, saturated solution

Explanation:

Enthalpy is defined as the heat released or the heat absorbed during the process at a constant pressure which is equal to the Enthalpy shift. Enthalpy is also called as heat content and it is the sum total of internal energy and the product of the volume and pressure of a system.

Entropy is defined as the measure of randomness of a system or the disorder of the system.

Spontaneity is defined as the condition of being spontaneous. It is the condition where a reaction takes place without any help from outside.

Gibbs free energy is defined as the energy that is used to quantify the maximum work done in a thermodynamic system at constant temperature and pressure. It is the also known as the Gibbs energy or function.

Saturated solution is defined as the solution where the maximum amount of the dissolved solute is present in the solvent. In case of a saturated solution, the extra solute does not dissolve. In order words, it is a solution where no more solute can dissolved in solvent.

Match the following:Part A1. Hydrolysis reaction: 2. Dehydration synthesis: 3. Decomposition reaction: 4. Synthesis reaction: Pa
svp [43]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

1. Hydrolysis reaction:     is a chemical reaction in which a molecule of water

                                         breaks a molecule.

2. Dehydration synthesis:  is a chemical reaction in which two molecules are

                                            joined and a molecule of water is removed.

3. Decomposition reaction: is a chemical reaction in which a reactant is

                                             broken into two or more products

4. Synthesis reaction:         is a chemical reaction in which two reactants

                                             formed only one product.

1. Hydrolysis reaction:                           c. AB + H₂O → A + B

2. Dehydration synthesis:                     a.A + BC → AC + B

3. Decomposition reaction:                  d. AB → A + B

4. Synthesis reaction:                            b. A + B → AB

Why is using dendroclimatology not always a true measure of a past climate?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Dendrochronology is the study of data from tree ring growth. Due to the sweeping and diverse applications of this data, specialists can come from many academic disciplines. There are no degrees in dendrochronology because though it is useful across the board, the method itself is fairly limited. Most people who enter into studying tree rings typically come from one of several disciplines: 1.

Explanation:

    Along with the advantages of dendroclimatology are some limitations: confounding factors, geographic coverage, annular resolution, and collection difficulties. The field has developed various methods to partially adjust for these challenges.

There are multiple climate and non-climate factors as well as nonlineareffects that impact tree ring width. Methods to isolate single factors (of interest)
