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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
3 0

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.

I NEED HELP!!
solniwko [45]

Carboxylic acids and alcohols have higher boiling point than other hydrocarbons due to their polarity and from the fact that they form very strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This is due to the large difference in their electronegativity that forms between the oxygen and the hydrogen atom.

What volume of 0.585 m ca(oh)2 would be needed to neutralize 15.8 l of 1.51 m hcl?
SpyIntel [72]
When the balanced reaction equation is:

2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

from the balanced equation, we can get the molar ratio between HCl & Ca(OH)2

2:1

∴ the volume of Ca(OH)2 = 15.8 L HCl * 1.51 m HCl * (1mol Ca(OH)2/ 2mol HCl) *                                           (1L ca(OH)2/0.585 mol Ca(OH)2 

                                          = 20.4 L

Given the following table, which statement is true about atoms A and B?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The statement true is A. A and B are isotopes of the same element.

Explanation:

Isotopes correspond to atoms of the same element with different mass numbers (A), that is to say they differ in the amount of neutrons in the nucleus. In the case of compound A it has 10 neutrons, and B has 11.
