Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{-10.0 kJ}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the work

w = - pΔV = -4.3 atm × (43 L - 20 L) = -4.3 × 23 L·atm = -98.9 L·atm

2. Convert litre-atmospheres to joules

w = \text{-98.9 L\cdot$atm } \times \dfrac{\text{101.3 J}}{\text{1 L$\cdot$atm }} = \text{-10000 J} = \textbf{-10.0 kJ}\\\\\text{The work done is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-10.0 kJ}}$}

The negative sign indicates that the work was done against the surroundings.

How many carbon atoms are in 7.05 moles of pyridine
NemiM [27]
First, it is best to know the chemical formula of pyridine which is C5H5N. To determine the number of carbon atoms present in pyridine, multiply 7.05 mol C5H5N with 5 mol C/ 1 mol C5H5N which then results to 35.35 mol of carbon. Then, multiply the answer to Avogadro's number which is 6.022x10^23 atoms. It is then calculated that the number of carbon atoms in 7.05 moles of pyridine is 2.12x10^25 atoms.

How does trace evidence end up transferring to the crime scene, suspect, or victim? Discuss some of the ways that this might hap
disa [49]
Trace evidence can end up transferring to the crime scene through Locard's Exchange Principle, which states that whenever two things come into contact with one another, there is an exchange of physical material A.K.A evidence. This exchange is most often done through physical contact, such as a struggle or a suspect attempting to hide evidence or alter the crime scene. It can even involve a suspect's shirt sleeve brushing against some wet paint.
