At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings? Check all that apply.

1 answer:

6 0

I believe the correct answers from the choices listed above are the second and the last option. At constant pressure, the systems 2A(g) + B(g) ---> 4C(g) and 2C(g) A(s) + B(s) ---> C(g) produces work to the surroundings. <span>When a gas is evolved during a chemical reaction, the gas can be imagined as displacing the atmosphere - pushing it back against the atmospheric pressure. The work done is therefore V*P where V is the volume of gas evolved, and P is the atmospheric pressure. </span>

Hello Camkirkland,
I think that you are trying to balance this equation.
In order to balance a chemical equation, the numbers of atoms of each element must be equal on both sides of the equation.

In this particular equation, the answer would be (2) HBr + (1) Mg(OH)2 ---> (1) MgBr2 + (2) H2O.

Hope this answers your question!

A proton transfer reaction can occur when an aldehyde is placed in strong base, such as an alkoxide ion, producing an alcohol an

Pani-rosa [81]

Hi, you have not provided structure of the aldehyde and alkoxide ion.

Therefore i'll show a mechanism corresponding to the proton transfer by considering a simple example.

Explanation: For an example, let's consider that proton transfer is taking place between a simple aldehyde e.g. acetaldehyde and a simple alkoxide base e.g. methoxide.

The hydrogen atom attached to the carbon atom adjacent to aldehyde group are most acidic. Hence they are removed by alkoxide preferably.

After removal of proton from aldehyde, a carbanion is generated. As it is a conjugated carbanion therefore the negative charge on carbon atom can conjugate through the carbonyl group to form an enolate which is another canonical form of the carbanion.

All the structures are shown below.
