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

Hydrazine, N2H4, may react with oxygen to form nitrogen gas and water.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The percent yield of the reaction is 35 %

Explanation:

In the reaction, 1 mol of hydrazine reacts with 1 mol O₂ to produce 1 mol of nitrogen and 2 moles of water.

Let's verify the moles that were used in the reaction.

2.05 g . 1mol/ 32 g = 0.0640 mol

In the 100% yield, 1 mol of hydrazine produce 1 mol of N₂ so If I used 0.0640 moles of reactant, I made 0.0640 moles of products.

Let's use the Ideal Gases Law equation to find out the real moles of nitrogen, I made (real yield).

1atm . 0.550L = n . 0.082 . 295K

(1atm . 0.550L) / 0.082 . 295K = n → 0.0225 moles

Percent yield of reaction = (Real yield / Theoretical yield) . 100

(0.0225 / 0.0640) . 100 = 35%

What happens when gasoline is used to power a vehicle?
Romashka [77]
The answer should be A. Because the energy in gasoline is called chemical. When burned it is heat, Then to power a vehicle, it is mechanical energy. But I don't know whether the question wants to mean that the energy in the gasoline will not convert totally to the heat, so it will lose. But if think like this, when heat energy transform to mechanical, it will lose again. So I think the answer is A.
