Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. Hence, chemical energy in a battery can be converted to electrical energy.
Usually, the conversion of energy from one form to another is not 100% efficient according to the second law of thermodynamics. Some energy is wasted in the process, sometimes as heat.
Hence, in an ideal situation where no heat energy is produced; all the chemical energy is converted to electrical energy (100% energy conversion). There will be no energy loss if no heat is produced.
Answer:
Hydrogen: -141 kJ/g
Methane: -55kJ/g
The energy released per gram of hydrogen in its combustion is higher than the energy released per gram of methane in its combustion.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of the energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.
Qc + Qb = 0
Qc = -Qb [1]
We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.
Q = C . ΔT
where,
C is the heat capacity
ΔT is the change in the temperature
<h3>Hydrogen</h3>
Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (14.3°C) = -162 kJ
The heat released per gram of hydrogen is:
<h3>Methane</h3>
Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (7.3°C) = -82 kJ
The heat released per gram of methane is:
2.1648 kg of CH4 will generate 119341 KJ of energy.
Explanation:
Write down the values given in the question
CH4(g) +2 O2 → CO2(g) +2 H20 (g)
ΔH1 = - 802 kJ
2 H2O(g)→2 H2O(I)
ΔH2= -88 kJ
The overall chemical reaction is
CH4 (g)+2 O2(g)→CO2(g)+2 H2O (I) ΔH2= -890 kJ
CH4 +2 O2 → CO2 +2 H20
(1mol)+(2mol)→(1mol+2mol)
Methane (CH4) = 16 gm/mol
oxygen (O2) =32 gm/mol
Here 1 mol CH4 ang 2mol of O2 gives 1mol of CO2 and 2 mol of 2 H2O
which generate 882 KJ /mol
Therefore to produce 119341 KJ of energy
119341/882 = 135.3 mol
to produce 119341 KJ of energy, 135.3 mol of CH4 and 270.6 mol of O2 will require
=135.3 *16
=2164.8 gm
=2.1648 kg of CH4
2.1648 kg of CH4 will generate 119341 KJ of energy
Intermolecular forces in solids are strongest than in liquids and gases. Gases have the least strong intermolecular forces. Intermolecular forces are weak and are significant over short distances between molecules (determined by Coulomb’s law). The farther away from the molecules the weaker the intermolecular forces. Since molecules in solids are the closest, the intermolecular force between them as the strongest. Conversely, since gas molecules are farthest apart, the intermolecular forces between them are the weakest.
