Answer:

The correct answer is 150 kJ.

Explanation:

As per Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change from one form to another.

If a chemical reaction absorbs 150 kJ and all the energy that is being absorbed is neither created nor destroyed, then it means all the energy absorbed comes from the surroundings (Air, wall of container etc).

Answer:

About 60.

Explanation:

Mendeleev knew of 63 elements. He wrote their properties on cards and arranged them in order of atomic mass.

That's how he discovered that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses.

An aqueous solution contains 0.29 M of benzoic acid (HA) and 0.16 M of sodium benzoate (A-). If the pH of this solution was meas

Inga [223]

Answer:

pKa = 4.89.

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation, which states:

pH = pKa + log $\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}$

In this case [A⁻] is the concentration of sodium benzoate and [HA] is the concentration of benzoic acid.

We input the given data:

4.63 = pKa + log $\frac{0.16}{0.29}$

And solve for pKa:

pKa = 4.89

Calculate the work (kJ) done during a reaction in which the internal volume expands from 20 L to 43 L against an outside pressur

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-10.0 kJ}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the work

w = - pΔV = -4.3 atm × (43 L - 20 L) = -4.3 × 23 L·atm = -98.9 L·atm

2. Convert litre-atmospheres to joules

$w = \text{-98.9 L\cdot$atm } \times \dfrac{\text{101.3 J}}{\text{1 L$\cdot$atm }} = \text{-10000 J} = \textbf{-10.0 kJ}\\\\\text{The work done is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-10.0 kJ}}$}$

The negative sign indicates that the work was done against the surroundings.

The kinetic theory assumes that collisions of gas particles are perfectly elastic. What does this statement mean?

In-s [12.5K]

Stating that collisions of gas particles are perfectly elastic means that no kinetic energy is lost when the gases collide, and no kinetic energy is gained. Some of the properties of gases include volume, pressure, thermal conductivity, pressure, and viscosity.
