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

5.943x10^24 molecules of H3PO4 will need how many grams of Mg(OH)2 in the reaction below? 3 Mg(OH)2 + 2 H3PO4 -------> 1 Mg3(
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Mass of Mg(OH)₂ required for the reaction = 863.13 g

Explanation:

3Mg(OH)₂ + 2H₃PO₄ -------> Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

(5.943 x 10²⁴) molecules of H₃PO₄ is available fore reaction. Mass of Mg(OH)₂ required for reaction.

According to Avogadro's theory, 1 mole of all substances contain (6.022 × 10²³) molecules.

This can allow us find the number of moles that (5.943 x 10²⁴) molecules of H₃PO₄ represents.

1 mole = (6.022 × 10²³) molecules.

x mole = (5.943 x 10²⁴) molecules

x = (5.943 x 10²⁴) ÷ (6.022 × 10²³)

x = 9.87 moles

From the stoichiometric balance of the reaction,

2 moles of H₃PO₄ reacts with 3 moles of Mg(OH)₂

9.87 moles of H₃PO₄ will react with y moles of Mg(OH)₂

y = (3×9.87)/2 = 14.80 moles

So, 14.8 moles of Mg(OH)₂ is required for this reaction. We them convert this to mass

Mass = (number of moles) × Molar mass

Molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 58.3197 g/mol

Mass of Mg(OH)₂ required for the reaction

= 14.8 × 58.3197 = 863.13 g

Hope this Helps!!!

Draw the structure of an alkane or cycloalkane that has more than three but fewer than ten carbon atoms, and only primary hydrog
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The structures are shown in the figure.

Explanation:

The primary hydrogens are those which are attached to primary carbon.

Primary carbons are the carbons which are attached to only one carbon.

Primary carbons is bonded to three hydrogens.

In order to draw such structure we will draw structures which will have carbon with three hydrogens or no hydrogens (quaternary)

The structures are shown in the figure with clear marking.

PLS HELP What is the mass of hydrogen atoms that is measured at 54 u?
tankabanditka [31]

The mass of hydrogen atoms that is measured at 54 u given the relationship is 89.64×10¯²⁴ g

<h3>Conversion scale </h3>

1 u = 1.66×10¯²⁴ g

<h3>How to determine the mass of hydrogen atoms </h3>
  • Mass of Hydrogen (u) = 54 u
  • Mass of Hydrogen (g) =?

1 u = 1.66×10¯²⁴ g

Therefore

54 u = 54 × 1.66×10¯²⁴ g

54 u = 89.64×10¯²⁴ g

Thus, the mass of the hydrogen atoms measured at 54 u is 89.64×10¯²⁴ g

Select the answer which shows the correct order, slowest to fastest, of the relative rate of diffusion of the gases.
IrinaK [193]

Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out to evenly fill its container or environment. Rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the molar mass of the gas.

Rate of diffusion \propto \frac{1}{Molar mass}

Lighter(lower) the molar mass of the gas , faster will be its rate of diffusion and heavier (higher) the molar mass of the gas , slower will be its rate of diffusion.

We have to arrange the given gases from slowest rate of diffusion to fastest rate of diffusion that means we need to arrange gases from higher molar mass to lower molar mass.

Molar mass of given gases are :

Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Xe = 131.29 g/mol

He = 4.00 g/mol

N = 14.00 g/mol

So correct order for slowest rate of diffusion (highest molar mass) to fastest rate of diffusion (lowest molar mass) is :

Xe , Cl , N , He

Xe having the highest molar mass will have the slowest rate of diffusion and He with lowest molar mass will have the fastest rate of diffusion, so option 'c' is correct.

Note : Slowest rate of diffusion = High Molar Mass

Fastest rate of diffusion = Low Molar Mass

g A 500. mL solution contains 0.665 M NaC2H3O2 and 0.475 M HC2H3O2. What mass of HCl in grams needs to be added for the solution
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

7.38g HCl

Explanation:

Using H-H equation for acetic buffer:

pH = pKa + log [NaC2H3O2] / [HC2H3O2]

<em>Where pKa is -log Ka = 4.74 and [] could be taken as moles of each compound.</em>

The initial moles of each specie is:

[NaC2H3O2]:

0.500L * (0.665mol/L) = 0.3325moles

[HC2H3O2]:

0.500L * (0.475mol/L) = 0.2375 moles

That means total moles are:

[NaC2H3O2] + [HC2H3O2] = 0.57 moles <em>(1)</em>

And solving H-H equation for a pH of 4.21:

4.21 = 4.74 + log [NaC2H3O2] / [HC2H3O2]

0.29512 = [NaC2H3O2] / [HC2H3O2] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (1) in (2):

0.29512 = 0.57mol - [HC2H3O2] / [HC2H3O2]

0.29512 [HC2H3O2] = 0.57mol - [HC2H3O2]

1.29512 [HC2H3O2] = 0.57mol

[HC2H3O2] = 0.44 moles

The HCl reacts with NaC2H3O2 producing HC2H3O2, that means you need to add:

0.44 moles - 0.2375 moles =

0.2025 moles of HCl

Using molar mass of HCl (36.45g/mol), to convert these moles to grams:

0.2025 moles * (36.45g/mol) =

<h3>7.38g HCl</h3>
