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.

What kind of glacier has pieces that breaks off as icebergs
forsale [732]
There is no specific name for a glacier that break off as an iceberg. However, the part of the glacier in which this happens is called the "zone of wastage". Chunks break off in a process called "calving".

Starting with the stock solution of 6.0 M, how many milliliters of 6.0 M sulfuric acid are needed to make 450 mL of 1.2 M soluti
Lina20 [59]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of stock solution needed is 90 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of the diluted solution, we use the equation:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of the stock sulfuric acid solution

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of diluted sulfuric acid solution

We are given:

M_1=6.0M\\V_1=?mL\\M_2=1.2M\\V_2=450mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

6.0\times V_1=1.2\times 450\\\\V_1=\frac{1.2\times 450}{6.0}=90mL

Hence, the volume of stock solution needed is 90 mL

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

I believe the answer is B

Explanation:

A nucleus of an atom has protons and neutrons. We know that a proton has a charge of +1 , while a neutron has no charge, or 0 . Therefore, the nucleus of an atom will always have a positive charge.

What type of solvent would be required to dissolve nonpolar compounds?
mina [271]
For example, ionic compounds, which are very polar, are often soluble in the polar solvent water. Nonpolar substances are likely to dissolve in nonpolar solvents. For example, nonpolar molecular substances are likely to dissolve in hexane, a common nonpolar solvent.
