Question:

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Perpetual motion machines are a possibility in the near future.

B. The entropy of a system always decreases for a spontaneous process.

C. A spontaneous reaction is always a fast reaction.

D. There is a "heat tax" for every energy transaction.

E. None of the above are true.

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

There is a "heat tax" for every energy transaction.

Explanation:

Heat and work are two different ways in which energy is moved from one device to another. In the field of thermodynamics the distinction between Heat and Work is significant. The transfer of thermal energy between systems is heat. This is what is referred to as "heat tax".

No other statement in the question above is correct.

Cheers!

The osmotic pressure of a solution containing 2.04 g of an unknown compound dissolved in 175.0 mLof solution at 25 ∘C is 2.13 at

kherson [118]

<u>Answer:</u> The molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_{10}O_4$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 2.13 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Given mass of compound = 2.04 g

Volume of solution = 175.0 mL

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2.13atm=1\times \frac{2.04\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of compound}\times 175.0}\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{Molar mass of compound}=\frac{1\times 2.04\times 1000\times 0.0821\times 298}{2.13\times 175.0}=133.9g/mol$

<u>Calculating the molecular formula:</u>

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

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

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

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=36.26g$

Mass of $H_2O=14.85g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

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

So, in 36.26 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 36.26=9.89g$ of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

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

So, in 14.85 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 14.85=1.65g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (22.08) - (9.89 + 1.65) = 10.54 g

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

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{9.89g}{12g/mole}=0.824moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.65g}{1g/mole}=1.65moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{10.54g}{16g/mole}=0.659moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> 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 0.659 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.824}{0.659}=1.25\approx 1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.65}{0.659}=2.5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.659}{0.659}=1$

Converting the mole fraction into whole number by multiplying the mole fraction by '2'

Mole fraction of carbon = (1 × 2) = 2

Mole fraction of oxygen = (2.5 × 2) = 5

Mole fraction of hydrogen = (1 × 2) = 2

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 2 : 5 : 2

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_2H_5O_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 133.9 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 61 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{133.9g/mol}{61g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(2\times 2)}H_{(5\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_4H_{10}O_4$

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_{10}O_4$

You have 1 mole of a gas at STP. If you apply the ideal gas law what is the approximate volume of the gas?

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

A) 22.4L

Explanation:

we know, ideal gas law states

PV=nRT

V=nRT/P

At STP,

T= 273.15K P=1atm R=0.082L.atm/mol/K n=1 mole

V=(1*0.082*273.15)/ 1

V=22.4L
