Answer:
The gas will occupy a volume of 1.702 liters.
Explanation:
Let suppose that the gas behaves ideally. The equation of state for ideal gas is:
(1)
Where:
- Pressure, measured in kilopascals.
- Volume, measured in liters.
- Molar quantity, measured in moles.
- Temperature, measured in Kelvin.
- Ideal gas constant, measured in kilopascal-liters per mole-Kelvin.
We can simplify the equation by constructing the following relationship:
(2)
Where:
,
- Initial and final pressure, measured in kilopascals.
,
- Initial and final volume, measured in liters.
,
- Initial and final temperature, measured in Kelvin.
If we know that ,
,
,
and
, the final volume of the gas is:
The gas will occupy a volume of 1.702 liters.
Answer: The reaction is exothermic reaction as the energy of products is less than the energy of reactants.
Explanation: Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be negative.
Labeling of the parts in the diagram:
A represents the activation energy which is the energy required by reactants to cross the energy barrier to get converted to products.
E represents the potential energy of the reactants.
B represents the activated complex.
D represents the potential energy of the products.
C represents the total enthalpy change of the reaction, which comes out to be negative for exothermic reactions.
