Atomic number is the number of protons that are inside that atom. This helps identify which element an atom is.

Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons inside an atom.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

a) Q = 0; W = 0; ΔU = 0; ΔH = 0; ΔS = 0.09 atm.L/K

b) Q = 1250 J; W = 0; ΔU = 1250 J; ΔH = 1250 J; ΔS = -0.0235 atm.L/K

c) Q = 3653.545 J; W = - 3653.545 J; ΔU = 0; ΔH = 0; ΔS = - 3653.545 J

d) Q = - 2080 J; W = 830 J; ΔU = - 1250 J; ΔH = - 2080 J; ΔS = - 5.984 J/K

Explanation:

a) If there is a vacuum, the work is zero, as it is a free expansion, the volume increases, the pressure decreases, the temperature is constant and the internal energy is constant.

∴ n = 1 mole

∴ PV = RTn....ideal gas

∴ P1 = 10 atm

∴ R = 0.082 atm.L/K.mol

∴ T = 300 K = T2

∴ V2 = 3*V1

⇒ W = 0.....expands freely into vacuum

⇒ ΔU = Q = 0....first law

⇒ ΔS = -  nR Ln(P2/P1).....ideal gas

∴ V1*P1/T1 = V2*P2/T2

∴ T1 = T2 = 300 K

⇒ P2 = V1*P1 / V2 = V1*P1 / 3V1 = 10 atm/3 = 3.33 atm

⇒ ΔS = - (1mol)*(0.082 atm.L/K.mol) Ln ( 3.33/10)

⇒ ΔS = 0.09 atm.L/K

∴ ΔH = ΔU + (P2V2 - P1V1) = 0 + 0 = 0

b) heated reversibly at constant volume:

⇒ W = 0 ...at constant volume

∴ T2 = 400 K; T1 = 300 K

∴ V1 = V2

⇒ Q = ΔU = CvΔT....first law

∴ Cv = 12.5 J/K.mol.....monoatomic ideal gas

∴ ΔT = 400 - 300 = 100 K

⇒ Q = ΔU = 12.5 J/mol.K * 100K = 1250 J/mol * 1 mol = 1250 J

∴ ΔH = ΔU + PΔV = ΔU + 0 = 1250 J

∴ ΔS = - nR Ln (P2/P1)

∴ P2/T2 = P1/T1...constant volume

∴ P1 = 3.33 atm

⇒ P2 = P1*T2 / T1 = (3.33 atm)*(400K) / (300K) = 4.44 atm

⇒ ΔS = - (1mol)*(0.082atm.L/K.mol) Ln (4.44/3.33)

⇒ ΔS = - 0.0235 atm.L/K

c) reversibly expanded at constant temperature:

∴ T1 = T2 = 400K

∴ V2 = 3*V1

∴ ΔU = 0...constant temperature

⇒ Q = - W....fisrt law

∴ W = - ∫ PdV..... reversibly expansion

∴ P = nRT/V... ideal gas

⇒ W = - nRT ∫ dV/V

⇒ W = - nRT Ln (V2/V1)

⇒ W = - (1mol)*(8.314 J/K.mol) Ln (3)

⇒ W = - 9.134 J/K *400K = - 3653.545 J

⇒ Q = - W = 3653.545 J

⇒ ΔH = ΔU + P1V1 - P2V2 = 0 + nRT1 - nRT2 = 0 + 0 = 0

∴ ΔS = - nR Ln(P2/P1)

∴ P1 = 4.44 atm

⇒ P2 = V1*P1*T2/ V2*T1 = V1*(4.44atm)*(400K) / (3.V1)*(400K)

⇒ P2 = 4.44atm/3 = 1.48 atm

⇒ ΔS = - (1mol)*(8.314 J/mol.K) Ln (1.48/4.44)

⇒ ΔS = -9.134J/K * 400K = - 3653.545 J

d) reversibly cooled at constant pressure:

∴ T2 = 300 K;  T1 = 400 K

∴ P2 = P1

⇒ Q = ΔH = CpΔT

∴ Cp = 20.8 J/K.mol

∴ ΔT = 300 - 400 = - 100 K

⇒ Q = ΔH = 20.8 J/mol.K * ( -100K) = - 2080 J/mol * 1mol = - 2080 J

⇒ ΔU = nCvΔT = (1mol)*(12.5 J/mol.K)*( - 100K) = -1250 J

⇒ W = ΔU - Q = ΔU - ΔH = -1250 J - ( - 2080 J ) = 830 J

∴ ΔS = ∫ δQ/T = ∫ nCpdT/T

⇒ ΔS = nCp Ln (T2/T1)

⇒ ΔS = (1mol)*(20.8 J/mol.K) Ln (300/400) = - 5.984 J/K

Using Gizmo ,describe the main use for each fuel Coal: Petroleum: In each case, what is the end product of burning the fossil fu
lana [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Coal is primarily used for electricity generation. The burning of coal leads to emission of gases such as oxides of carbon, oxides of sulphur, oxides of nitrogen and water vapour. All these go straight into the atmosphere.

Petroleum is primarily used as transportation fuels. The burning of petroleum oils mostly leads to the emission of oxides of carbon and sulphur together with water vapour into the atmosphere.
