Answer:
P = 14.1 atm
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of methane = 64 g
pressure exerted by water vapors = ?
Volume of engine = 24.0 L
Temperature = 515 K
Solution:
Chemical equation:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O + energy
Number of moles of methane:
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 64 g/ 16 g/mol
Number of moles = 4 mol
Now we will compare the moles of water vapors and methane.
CH₄ : H₂O
1 : 2
4 : 2/1×4 = 8 mol
Pressure of water vapors:
PV = nRT
R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K
P = 8 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K× 515 K / 24.0 L
P = 338.25 atm.L/ / 24.0 L
P = 14.1 atm
When the work is being done, it is likely that there is an energy being enforced and when the energy is being enforced, it is likely that the energy present is being transferred in order for the work to be able to be able to be exterted upon
