Specific heat. The definition of specific heat is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1K or 1°C.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas
initial Temperature


Work done in iso-thermal process
=initial pressure
=Final Pressure

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w
Therefore q=39.64 J
(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly
work done is





For a reaction to occur, energy must be absorbed to break chemical bonds
<u>Explanation:</u>
Reactions can be classified as chemical reaction, nuclear reaction, thermal reaction. So in these three reaction types, the nature of energy will only be varying.
But in order to execute a reaction, there should be breaking of existing bonds and then formation of new bonds. So for breaking of the bonds of reactants, energy should be absorbed from the surrounding.
Then the extra energy will be released after forming the products. Thus, the process of absorption of energy will lead to endothermic process and the process of releasing of energy will lead to exothermic reaction. So for a reaction to occur, energy must be absorbed to break the chemical bonds.
