To calculate for the pressure of the system, we need an equation that would relate the
number of moles (n), pressure (P), and temperature (T) with volume (V). There are a number of equations that would relate these values however most are very complex equations. For
simplification, we assume the gas is an ideal gas. So, we use PV = nRT.<span>
PV = nRT where R is the universal gas
constant
P = nRT / V</span>
<span>P = 3.40 mol ( 0.08205 L-atm / mol-K ) (251 + 273.15 K) / 1.75 L </span>
<span>P = 83.56 atm</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>Therefore, the pressure of the gas at the given conditions of volume and temperature would be 83.56.</span>
Answer:
In an exothermic reaction the energy gained by the surroundings must be <u>equal to</u> the energy lost by the reaction.
Explanation:
Exothermic reactions occur by the loss of energy in the form of heat to the surroundings (apparatus and the system).
The heat gained can be quantitatively analysed and measured provided no product escapes the system and it is numerically equal to the amount of heat lost by the reaction.
Answer:
Answer in Explanation
Explanation:
Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>
The derivation of this formula is as follows:
Work = Force * Displacement
For gravitational potential energy:
Work = P.E
Force = Weight = mg
Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h
Therefore,
P.E = mgh
