<span>With a partner, describe interactions in this scene, tracing the movement of materials or energy through all four of Earth's spheres if possible. Plants (biosphere) draw water (hydrosphere) and nutrients from the soil (geosphere) and release water vapor into the atmosphere.</span>
We assume that the gas is an ideal gas so we can use the relation PV=nRT. Assuming that the temperature of the system is at ambient temperature, T = 298 K. We can calculate as follows:
PV = nRT
P = nRT / V
P = (0.801 mol ) (0.08205 L-atm / mol-K) (298.15 K) / 12 L
P = 1.633 atm
..because the energy put in to making bonds is greater than the energy given back from breaking bonds.
The exothermic part of the reaction is greater than the endothermic part.
