The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants decreases by 338 kJ during a certain chemical reaction, which is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that 187 kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction. Calculate the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic ?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Change in enthalpy (\Delta H) = -338 kJ (as it is a decrease)

    Work done = 187 kJ,

    Change in energy (\Delta E) = ?

Now, according to the first law of thermodynamics the formula is as follows.

          \Delta H = \Delta E + P \Delta V

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        \Delta H = \Delta E + P \Delta V

Also, we know that W = P \Delta V

so,           \Delta H = \Delta E + W      

              -338 kJ = \Delta E + 187

              \Delta E = -151 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction is -151 kJ.

Two electrons travel towards each other at 0.2 c parallel to the laboratory x-axis. What is the relative velocity of one electro
Leya [2.2K]

1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c

To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:

u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}

where

u is the velocity of one electron

v is the velocity of the second electron

c is the speed of light

In this problem:

u = 0.2c

v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find:

u'=\frac{0.2c+0.2c}{1+\frac{(0.2c)(0.2c)}{c^2}}=\frac{0.4c}{1+0.04}=0.38c

2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c

In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are

+0.2c

-0.2c

Please HELP ME If the motion of an object changes, what must be true about the forces acting on that object?
atroni [7]

Answer:

If there is a net force acting on an object, the object will have an acceleration and the object's velocity will change. ... Newton's second law states that for a particular force, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Cold syrup flows sluggishly because of??​
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Water is very different from honey, syrup, glycerine, or oil. It pours easily and is not thick and sticky like the others. The property that determines how easily a liquid pours is called VISCOSITY. Water has a low viscosity; syrup has a high viscosity. Liquids with a high viscosity are said to be viscous.
