A sample of an ideal gas in a cylinder of volume 2.67 L at 298 K and 2.81 atm expands to 8.34 L by two different pathways. Path

A is an isothermal, reversible expansion. Path B has two steps. In the first step, the gas is cooled at constant volume to 1.00 atm. In the second step, the gas is heated and allowed to expand against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm until the final volume is 8.34 L. Calculate the work for path A and B.

Explanation:

  • For path A, the calculation will be as follows.

As, for reversible isothermal expansion the formula is as follows.

            W = -2.303 nRT log(\frac{V_2}{V_1})

Since, we are not given the number of moles here. Therefore, we assume the number of moles, n = 1 mol.

As the given data is as follows.

              R = 8.314 J/(K mol),          T = 298 K ,

          V_{2} = 8.34 L,    V_{1} = 2.67 L

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

            W = -2.303 nRT log(\frac{V_2}{V_1})

   = -2.303 \times 1 \times 8.314 J/K mol \times 298 log(\frac{8.34}{2.67})

     = -2.303 \times 1 \times 8.314 J/K mol \times 298 \times 0.494

    = -2818.68 J

Hence, work for path A is -2818.68 J.

  • For path B, the calculation will be as follows.

Step 1: When there is no change in volume then W = 0

Hence, for step 1, W = 0

Step 2: As, the gas is allowed to expand against constant external pressure P_{external} = 1.00 atm.

So,              W = -P_{external} \times \Delta V

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

               W = -P_{external} \times \Delta V

                   = -1 atm \times (8.34 L - 2.67 L)  

                    = -5.67 atm L

As we known that, 1 atm L = 101.33 J

Hence, work will be calculated as follows.

       W = -\frac{101.33 J}{1 atm L} \times 5.67 atm L

            = -574.54 J

Therefore, total work done by path B = 0 + (-574.54 J)

                        W = -574.54 J

Hence, work for path B is -574.54 J.

Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How many grams of a 150 g sample would you have after 120.5 days?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234  would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample  to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now  we start with 150 grams  of Thorium-234

150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1

75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2

34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3

17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4

8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}

Where

A_0  is the initial sample amount  

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.

If the sun is next to the earth on the left, and the moon is next to the earth on the right, what type of tide is it?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides—both commonly called spring tides.

At a given temperature, the elementary reaction A --->B in the forward direction is first order in A with a rate constant of
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction A ⇒ B is Kc = 1.72 × 10³.

The value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction B ⇒ A is K'c = 5.81 × 10⁻⁴.

Explanation:

For the reaction A ⇒ B, the equilibrium constant (Kc) is equal to the forward rate constant (kf) divided by the reverse rate constant (ki).

Kc=\frac{kf}{ki} =\frac{1.60 \times 10^{2} s^{-1}   }{ 9.30 \times 10^{-2} s^{-1}} =1.72 \times 10^{3}

If we consider the inverse reaction B ⇒ A, its equilibrium constant (K'c) is the inverse of the forward reaction equilibrium constant.

K'c=\frac{1}{Kc} =\frac{1}{1.72 \times 10^{3}  } =5.81 \times 10^{-4}
