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.

A gas sample has volume 3.00 dm3 at 101
gavmur [86]

Answer:

V₂ = 21.3 dm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of gas = 3.00 dm³

Initial pressure = 101 Kpa

Final pressure = 14.2 Kpa

Final volume = ?

Solution;

The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

101 Kpa × 3.00 dm³ = 14.2 Kpa × V₂

V₂ = 303 Kpa. dm³/  14.2 Kpa

V₂ = 21.3 dm³

How many grams of oxygen are produced when 1.05 moles of hydrogen gas is<br> produced?
vivado [14]

Answer:

1.058337 grams of hydrogen and 2H2 + O2 ==> 2H2O hydrogen peroxide

mols H2 = grams/molar mass

Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols H2 to mols O2.

Now convert mols O2 to grams. That's grams mols O2 x molar mass O2.

and it could also produce H2O water but no air but it could make other things

Answer:

1)Reactants

2)Light

3)An item that can increase reaction rates

4)Reactants must collide with each other

Less molecules lower the chance for collisions

The more collisions there are the higher the reaction rate
