Answer:

w= - 1.7173 kJ, q= 1.7173 kJ, q(rev) = 1717.3 J = 1.7173 kJ.

Explanation:

Okay, from the question we are given the information below;

Number of moles, n= 1 mole; initial volume, v(1) = 1.0 litres (L); pressure (p) = 5atm, final volume(v2) = 2.0 Litres(L) ; the workdone, w= not given; the heat, q and q(rev)= not given and the gas was said to expand isothermally.

So, this question is a question from the part of chemistry known as thermodynamics. Therefore, grip yourself we are delving into thermodynamics 'waters' now.

For expansion isothermally; the workdone, w= -nRT ln v2/v1.

Where T= temperature= 25° C = 298 k and R= gas constant.

Therefore; workdone, w = - 1 × 8.314 × 298 × ln(2/1).

Workdone,w= - 1717.32204643. =

- 1717.3 Joules (J).

==> Workdone,w= - 1.7173 kJ.

Then, we are to find q. q can be solved by using the first law of thermodynamics, which by mathematical representation is:

∆U= q + w. Where ∆U= change in internal enegy. Since the question is dealing with isothermal expansion, there is this rule that says for an isothermal expansion ∆U = 0.

Hence, 0 =q + [- 1717.3 Joules (J)].

q=1717.3 J = 1.7173 kJ.

Finally, the q(rev) which is= nRT ln (v2/V1).

q(rev) = 1 × 8.314 × 298 ln (2/1).

q(rev) = 1717.3 J = 1.7173 kJ.

PS: please note the negative signs in the workdone and the positive sign in the q(rev).

What is the sign of the heat change for an exothermic reaction? for an endothermic reaction?
Julli [10]

A system that releases heat to the surroundings, an exothermic reaction, has a negative ΔH by convention, because the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reactants of the system. The enthalpies of these reactions are less than zero, and are therefore exothermic reactions

Which is a problem associated with the use of trees for biomass? I. Potential deforestation II. Burning fossil carbon III. Poten
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Both Option (I) and Option (III)

Explanation:

Biomass is usually defined as those organic molecules that are obtained from plants and animals, in order to produce energy. It is a renewable resource. Some of the examples of biomass include wood, crop, animal fossil fuel.

A large number of trees are being cut down to construct these biomass energies such as woods. This results in the deforestation process where the forested areas are converted into empty dry soils. This results in the increasing rate of erosion because the prevailing wind and flowing water can easily carry away the topsoil and loses the fertility of the soil.

Thus, the correct answers are both options (I) and (III).

g A spontaneous process is one in which: A. releases a large amount of heat B. may happen (is possible) C. will rapidly approach
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

A. releases a large amount of heat

Explanation:

A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.

In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.
