When the partition is removed, the gas expands and fills both compartments. How many moles n of gas were initially contained in

the lower compartment if the entropy change of the gas in this free-expansion process is 17.28 J/K

Answer:

n = 1.89 mol.

Explanation:

Think of this as adiabatic free expansion. This means constant temperature -- we know this because the internal energy does not change.

Since the temperature is constant, the entropy change can be given by:

Entropy = nRln(V2/V1)

Entropy = 17.28 J/K. R = 8.314 (gas constant). V2 = 3V. V1 = V.

Thus, we get:

17.28 = n(8.314)ln3

Solve for n. We get n = 1.89 mol.

What mass of water must be added to 5g of nacl to make 5% mass persentage of the solution?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:-

95 grams

Explanation:-

Let the mass of water to be added be M

So total mass = 5 + M

So 5% of this solution has 5g of NaCl by mass.

∴ (M+5) x (5/100) = 5

M+5 = 5 x 100/5

M+5=100

M= 100-5

95

So amount of water to be added is 95 gram

How does reactants in photosynthesis combine to make atoms molecules
balu736 [363]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek phos, "light", and sunthesis "putting together". In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

Aspirin that has been stored for a long time may give a vinegar like odour and give a purple colour with FeCl3. What reaction wo
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The IUPAC name of aspirin is 2-Acetoxybenzoic acid. It is composed of an acetoxy moiety and a benzoic acid moiety.

The compound can be hydrolysed under prolonged storage conditions to yield acetic acid which causes the vinegar like odour.

Also, one of the products of this hydrolysis bears a phenol group which reacts with FeCl3 to give a purple color.
