We are all familiar with the general principles of operation of an internal combustion engine: the combustion of fuel drives out

the piston. It is possible to imagine engines that use reactions other than combustions, and we need to assess the work they can do. A chemical reaction takes place in a container of cross-sectional area 100.0 cm^2; the container has a piston at one end. As a result of the reaction, the piston is pushed out through 10 cm against a constant external pressure of 100 kPa. Calculate the work done by the system in Joules.

Answer:

The work done by the system is 100 J

Explanation:

Given details

The cross sectional area of the of the container is A = 100.0 cm^2 = 0.01m²

The total distance pushed by the piston is d = 10 cm = 0.10m

The total external pressure by which piston pushed is P = 100 kPa

From above data, the following relation can be used to determine the change in volume of the container

∆V = A * d

∆V = 0.01 * 0.10 = 0.001 m³

By using the following relation, the work done by the system is calculated as;

Work done W = P * ∆V

W = 100 * 0.001 = 0.1 kJ = 100 J

The work done by the system is 100 J

How many grams of magnesium oxide forms when 8.0g of magnesium are burned?
AfilCa [17]
Magnesium burns with oxygen to give magnesium oxide based on the following reaction:
2M<span>g</span>+<span>O<span>2 </span></span>........> 2Mg<span>O<span>(s)</span></span>+<span>energy
</span>From the periodic table:
molecular mass of magnesium = 24.3 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams

From the reaction:
2 x 24.3 = 48.6 grams of magnesium are required to produce 2(24.3+16) = 80.6 grams of magnesium oxide.
We can know the amount of magnesium oxide produced from 8 grams of magnesium by simply doing cross multiplication as follows:
amount of magnesium oxide = (8 x 80.6) / 48.6 = 13.267 grams

When 0.25 moles of NH3 are produced according to the reaction below, how many moles of H2 must have reacted?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

by stoichiometry

nNH3/2=nH2/3

0.25/2=nH2/3

nH2=0.25×3/2

nH2=0.375 mol

so its 0.38 mol

Classify each of the following reactions as either exothermic or endothermic: 2H,O(l) + heat → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)​
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

endothermic

Explanation:

It is endothermic since it absorbs heat.  If the reaction RELEASED heat (exothermic) the "+ heat" would be on the right side of the equation.
