Write an equation that expresses the law of thermodynamics in terms of heat and work

Chemistry

Anettt [7]3 years ago

We write DE = q+w, where DE is the internal energy change and q and w are heat and work, respectively.

(b)Under what conditions will the quantities q and w be negative numbers?

q is negative when heat flows from the system to the surroundings, and w is negative when the system does work on the surroundings.

As an aside: In applying the first law, do we need to measure the internal energy of a system? Explain.

The absolute internal energy of a system cannot be measured, at least in any practical sense. The internal energy encompasses the kinetic energy of all moving particles in the system, including subatomic particles, as well as the electrostatic potential energies between all these particles. We can measure the change in internal energy (DE) as the result of a chemical or physical change, but we cannot determine the absolute internal energy of either the initial or the final state. The first law allows us to calculate the change in internal energy during a transformation by calculating the heat and work exchanged between the system and its surroundings.

Answer:

The greatest acceleration when the unbalanced force is applied will be experienced in :

A) The box with a mass of 2 kg

Explanation:

According to second law of motion the external unbalanced force is directly proportional to rate of change of momentum.

F = (Final momentum - initial momentum)/time

or

Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration

F = m x a

Here a= acceleration

m = mass of the object

If Force is constant then acceleration is inversely proportional to mass

a =\frac{F}{m}

A) The box with a mass of 2kg

F = 8 N

a =\frac{8}{2}

a = 4 m/s2

B) The box with the mass of 4kg

a =\frac{8}{4}

a = 2 m/s2

C) The box with a mass of 6kg

a =\frac{8}{6}

a = 1.33 m/s2

D) The box with a mass of 8kg

a =\frac{8}{8}

a = 1 m/s2

Cu(s) + 4 HNO3 (aq) --> Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NO2 (g) + 2H2O(l)
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The percent by mass of copper in the mixture was 32%

Explanation:

The ammount of HNO₃ used is:

mol HNO₃ = volume * concentration

mol HNO₃ = 0.015 l * 15.8 mol/l

mol HNO₃ = 0.237 mol

According to the reaction, 4 mol HNO₃ will react with 1 mol Cu and produce 1 mol Cu²⁺. Since we have 0.237 mol HNO₃, the amount of Cu that could react would be (0.237 mol HNO₃ * 1 mol Cu / 4 mol HNO₃) 0.06 mol. This reaction would produce 0.060 mol Cu²⁺, however, only 0.010 mol Cu²⁺ were obtained, indicating that only 0.010 mol Cu were present in the mixture. This means that the acid was in excess, so we can assume that all copper present in the mixture has reacted.

Since 0.010 mol of Cu²⁺ were produced, the amount of Cu was 0.01 mol.

1 mol of Cu has a mass of 63.5 g, then 0.01 mol has a mass of:

0.01 mol Cu * 63.5 g / 1 mol = 0.635 g.

Since this amount was present in 2.00 g mixture, the amount of copper in 100 g of the mixture will be:

100 g(mixture) * 0.635 g Cu / 2 g(mixture) = 32 g

Then, the percent by mass of Cu (which is the mass of Cu in 100 g mixture) is 32%
