A cylinder and piston assembly (defined as the system) is warmed by an external flame. The contents of the cylinder expand, doin

g work on the surroundings by pushing the piston outward against the external pressure. If the system absorbs 551 J of heat and does 478 J of work during the expansion, what is the value of ΔE?

Answer:

ΔE = 73 J

Explanation:

By the first law of thermodynamics, the energy in the system must conserved:

ΔE = Q - W

Where ΔE is the internal energy, Q is the heat flow (positive if it's absorbed by the system, and negative if the system loses heat), and W is the work (positive if the system is expanding, and negative if the system is compressing).

So, Q = + 551 J, and W = + 478 J

ΔE = 551 - 478

ΔE = 73 J

Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is composed of C, H, and N. A 7.875-mg sample of nicotine was combusted, producing 21.363 mg o
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is C_5H_7N

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g

Mass of H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21363 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 6125 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55 of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5

For Hydrogen  = \frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7

For Nitrogen = \frac{97.73}{97.73}=1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N

Where does the Sun’s light come from and why does it look different at different times of the day?
Contact [7]

Answer:

Sun light comes from the sun which is a part of our solar system

and it look different because the earth is spinning so the angle will can and that will determine if the sun rays will get light or darker

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The physical states that are represented by each graph region are the liquid and the solid, the highest temperature is the liquid and as it freezes it becomes a solid. The particles change because when it's a liquid, it isn't that compact it's just spreading smootly but as it freezes the atoms start to stick together and become compact.

Hope that made sense!

What is the best way to organize desert several several million different types of organisms on earth
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The desert should be divided into different types based on its properties. The organisms living in specific type of desert should be named accordingly.

Explanation:

There are usually five major types of desert in the world. Tropical, rainy, semi arid desert, coastal desert and dry desert. There are many different types of organisms living in these deserts. The biodiversity has made it difficult for the humans to analyse and identify the millions of different types. The best way is to organize and name the organisms that live in specific types of deserts.
