Answer:

Work = Path function.

Energy = State function.

Distance traveled = Path function.

Enthalpy = State function.

Heat = Path function.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, a state function is a property whose value does not depend on the path taken to reach that specific function or value, as in this case, energy and enthalpy.

On the other hand, path functions are functions that depend on the path taken to reach that specific value, as in this case, work, distance traveled and heat since different paths will provide different values for each one of them.

Best regards.

A car traveling at a constant speed travels 175 miles in four hours. How many minutes will it take for the car to travel 1000 fe

It takes 0.26 minutes to travel 1000 feet

Solution:

Given that car traveling at a constant speed travels 175 miles in four hours

Distance = 175 miles

Time taken = 4 hours

Convert the units to feet and minute

Given that,

1 mile = 5280 feet

175 miles = 5280 x 175 feet = 918720 feet

Also we know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

4 hours = 60 x 4 minutes = 240 minutes

Thus, we got,

Distance = 918720 feet

Time taken = 240 minutes

Find the speed of car

Speed is given by formula:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$speed = \frac{918720}{240} = 3828$

Thus speed of car is 3828 feet per minute

How many minutes will it take for the car to travel 1000 feet?

Let "x" be the minutes needed for 1000 feet

speed of car is 3828 feet per minute

1 minute = 3828 feet

x minute = 1000 feet

This forms a proportion. We can solve by cross multiplying

$x \times 3828 = 1000 \times 1\\\\x = \frac{1000}{3828}\\\\x = 0.26$

Thus it takes 0.26 minutes to travel 1000 feet

A flexible container at an initial volume of 4.11 L contains 2.51 mol of gas. More gas is then added to the container until it r

Nitella [24]

Answer:

7.81 moles

Explanation:

To solve this problem, let us generate an expression involving volume and number of mole of the gas since the pressure and temperature of the gas are constant.

From ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Divide both side by P

V= nRT/P

Divide both side by n

V/n = RT/P

Since RT/P are constant, then:

V1/n1 = V2/n2

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 = 4.11

n1 = 2.51 moles

V2 = 16.9L

n2 =?

Using the above equation i.e V1/n1 = V2/n2, the final number of the gas can be obtained as illustrated below:

4.11/2.51 = 16.9/n2

Cross multiply to express in linear form

4.11 x n2 = 2.51 x 16.9

Divide both side by 4.11

n2 = (2.51 x 16.9) / 4.11

n2 = 10.32moles

Now, to obtain the number of mole of the gas added, we'll subtract the initial mole from the final mole i.e

n2 — n1

Number of mole added = n2 — n1

10.32 — 2.51 = 7.81 moles

Therefore, 7.81 moles of the gas was added to the container
