Explain why the freezing of water into ice causes the cracks to widen

Chemistry
1 answer:
horrorfan [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The freezing of water into ice causes the cracks to widen because it occupy more space.

Explanation:

When the water change its state of liquid to solid state due to decrease in temperature, it contracts means occupy less space but when the temperature reaches to 4 degree Celsius, it starts to expand. When the temperature goes below 0 degree Celsius, it will cause more expansion and occupy more space that causes the cracks to widen.

Be sure to answer all parts. Consider the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)ΔH o rxn = −92.6 kJ/mol If 4.0 moles of N2 react with
Sphinxa [80]

Answer : The work done is, 1.98\times 10^4J

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

When 4 moles of N_2 react with 12 moles of H_2 then it gives 8 moles of NH_3

First we have to calculate the change in moles of gas.

Moles on reactant side = Moles of N_2 + Moles of H_2

Moles on reactant side = 4 + 12 = 16 moles

Moles on product side = Moles of NH_3

Moles on reactant side = 8 moles

Change in moles of gas = 16 - 8 = 8 moles

Now we have to calculate the change in volume of gas.

Using ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 1.0 atm

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 8 mole

R = Gas constant = 0.0821L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 25^oC=273+25=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.0atm\times V=8mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 298K

V=195.7L

As the number of moles of gas decreased. So, the volume also deceased. Thus, the volume of gas will be, -195.7 L

Now we have to calculate the work done.

Formula used :

w=-p\Delta V

where,

w = work done

p = pressure of the gas = 1.0 atm

\Delta V = change in volume = -195.7 L

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

w=-p\Delta V

w=-(1.0atm)\times (-195.7L)

w=195.7L.artm=195.7\times 101.3J=19824.41J=1.98\times 10^4J

conversion used : (1 L.atm = 101.3 J)

Thus, the work done is, 1.98\times 10^4J

How many moles are in 3.6 x 10^24 molecules of ch4
solong [7]
Hi friend
--------------
Your answer
---------------------

CH4

Number of molecules in one mole of CH4 = 6.022 × 10²² [Avogadro's constant ]

Given number of molecules = 3.6 × 10²⁴

So,
------

Number of moles of CH4 i=
\frac{3.6 \times 10 {}^{24} }{6.022 \times 10 {}^{23} }  \\  \\  = 0.0143 \: moles \: (approximately)
