Answer:

-32821.2 J (negative sign implies that work is done by the system)

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of work done is shown below as:

w=-P\times \Delta V

Where, P is the pressure

\Delta V is the change in volume

From the question,  

\Delta V = 18.0 - 1.00 L = 18.0 L

P = 18.0 atm

w=-18.0\times18.0\ atmL

Also, 1 atmL = 101.3 J

So,  

w=-18.0\times 18.0\times 101.3\ J=-32821.2\ J (negative sign implies that work is done by the system)

Distinguish between accuracy and precision in measurements
nignag [31]

The accuracy is associated with magnitude of fractional error or relative error in that measurement

the precision of a measurement is associated with least count of the measuring instrument.

precision does not mean accuracy but both are highly demanded while making measurements in physics.

Krypton-79 has a half-life of 35 hours. how many half-lives have passed after 105 hours?
Nookie1986 [14]
The number of half -lives that has passed after 105  hours  for krypton-79 that has  half-life of 35 hours is calculated as below

if 1 half life = 35 hours

what about 105 hours = ? half-lives

= (1 half life  x105  hours) /35 hours = 3 half-lives  has passed after 105 hours

Solid aluminum and gaseous oxygen read in a combination reaction to produce aluminum oxide. 4Al(s) + 3O_2(g) rightarrow 2Al_2O_3
Kryger [21]

Answer:

4.7 g. Option 5 is the right one.

Explanation:

4Al(s) + 3O₂ (g) ⇄ 2Al₂O₃ (s)

We convert the mass of reactants to moles, in order to determine the limiting.

2.5 g Al / 26.98 g/mol → 0.092 moles of Al

2.5 g O₂ / 32g/mol → 0.078 moles of O₂

Ratio is 4:3. 4 moles of Al react with 3 moles of O₂

Then, 0.092 moles of O₂ would react with (0.092 . 3)/ 4 = 0.069 moles O₂

We have 0.078 moles of O₂ and we need 0.069 moles, the oxygen is the limiting in excess. Therefore the Al is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 4:2. 4 moles of Al, can produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃

Then, 0.092 moles of Al would produce (0.092 .2) / 4 = 0.046 moles

If we convert the moles to mass, we find the anwer:

0.046 mol . 101.96 g/mol = 4.69 g

Why is density referred to as a characteristic property of matter?
amm1812

Answer : Density of any particular matter remains the same at any concentration at any weight.


Density does not varies with the concentration. The formula for density is mass / volume.


So if the mass changes the density will change accordingly, also if the volume changes the density will get changed.


because, of the above reasons density is referred as a characteristic property of matter.
