A mixture of gaseous reactants is put into a cylinder, where a chemical reaction turns them into gaseous products. The cylinder

has a piston that moves in or out, as necessary, to keep a constant pressure on the mixture of 1atm. The cylinder is also submerged in a large insulated water bath. (See sketch at right.) The temperature of the water bath is monitored, and it is determined from this data that 108.kJ of heat flows out of the system during the reaction. The position of the piston is also monitored, and it is determined from this data that the system does 179.kJ of work on the piston during the reaction.

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

The question to solve is shown on the second uploaded image  

Answer:

  1. The reaction is  exothermic
  2. The temperature of the water bath goes up
  3. The piston move out
  4. The system release  energy
  5. The amount of energy released is  \Delta E = - 287kJ

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The pressure is  P = 1 atm

    The amount of heat flow out of the system is  q = - 108 \ kJ

    The workdone by the system is  w = - 179 \  kJ

The first question is to state whether the reaction is exothermic  

      Yes this  reaction is exothermic because heat is being transferred out of the system

The second second question is to determine whether the temperature of the water goes up or down

   The temperature of the water goes up because above we see that the reaction is exothermic which means that heat is being transferred from the system to the surrounding which i the water bath in this case so this then implies that the temperature of the water in the water bath would go up

   

The third question is to determine whether the piston moves in or out  

         Now since work is done by  the system which would mean that its pressure would increase but we require a constant pressure of 1 atm and to achieve this the there is need for an increase in volume in order to return the pressure back to 1 atm and this can be achieved by the piston moving out

    The fourth question is to determine whether this reaction releases or absorbs energy

          We can determine this by looking at the first law of thermodynamics

which is stated mathematically as

           \Delta E = q + w

Where  w is the workdone by the system given in the question as (-179 kJ)

       \Delta E is the internal energy

         q is the heat  flowing out of the system which is given as  (-108 kJ)

Substituting this into the question we have that

       \Delta E = -108 -179

             \Delta E = - 287kJ

 This negative internal energy indicates that  energy is been released from the system.

   The fifth ask that we determine how much energy is been absorbed or released by the system

           The solution is already obtained in the fourth question an it is  

      \Delta E = - 287kJ

    When to understand that heat flow into a system mean that the system

 gains energy in form of heat so that energy with respect to the system is positive

    Also When heat i transferred out of a system it means that the system losses energy in form of heat so that energy in term of the system is negative  

  Note also that when an external body does work on a system that the workdone is done is positive

   But when a system does work on an external body the workdone is negative

   In the case of Internal energy

       When energy is absorbed by a system the then that energy in terms of the system is positive

   But when energy is released by the system to the surrounding then that energy is negative with respect to the system

How many molecules are in 42.3g sample of water
Helga [31]

Answer:

The number of molecules is 1.4140*10^24 molecules

Explanation:

To know the number of molecules, we need to determine how many moles of water we have, water has molar mass of 18.015g/mol

This means that one mole of water molecules has a mass of 18.015g.

42.3g * 1 mole H2O/18.015g

= 2.3480 moles H2O

We are using avogadros number to find the number of molecules of water

2.3480 H2O * 6.022*10^ 23moles/ 1mole of H2O

That's 2.3480 multiplied by 6.022*10^23 divided by 1 mole of H2O

Number of molecules = 1.4140 *10^24 molecules

The energy required to ionize boron is 801 kJ/mol. You may want to reference (Pages 93 - 98) Section 2.5 while completing this p
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The frequency is  f =  2,01 * 10^{15} \  Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The energy required to ionize boron is E_b  =  801 KJ/mol

Generally the ionization energy of boron pre atom is mathematically represented as

     E_a  =  \frac{E_b}{N_A}

Here  N_A is the Avogadro's constant with value N_A  =  6.022*10^{23}

So

      E_a  =  \frac{801}{6.022*10^{23}}

=>     E_a  =  1.330 *10^{-18} \  J/atom

Generally the energy required to liberate one electron from an atom is equivalent to the ionization energy per atom and this mathematically represented as

       E =  hf  =  E_a

=>     hf  =  E_a

Here h is the Planks constant with value h = 6.626 *10^{-34}

So

       f =  \frac{1.330 *10^{-18}}{ 6.626 *10^{-34}}

=>      f =  2,01 * 10^{15} \  Hz

A 10 gram sample of iron reacts with oxygen to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide. How many grams of oxygen reacted?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.2 \ grams}}

Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.

  • mass products = mass reactants

In this problem, the reaction is:

iron + oxygen = ferric \ oxygen

  • The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams.
  • The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.

10 \ g + oxygen=18.2 \ g

We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

10 \ g - 10 \ g+ oxygen = 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g

oxygen= 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g

oxygen= 8.2 \ g \\

<u>8.2 grams of oxygen </u>reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.
