Answer:

There are light absorbing color bodies called chromophores that are present in dyes. Ultraviolet rays are one of the causes of fading because they can break down chemical bonds and fade the color in objects.

Would a thermos without a lid with water in it be an open or closed system? I'm so confused... also please explain your answer,

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

. A closed system allows only energy transfer but no transfer of mass. Example: a cup of coffee with a lid on it, or a simple water bottle. ... In reality, a perfectly isolated system does not exist, for instance hot water in a thermos flask cannot remain hot forever.

Consider the following reaction: CH3OH(g)⇌CO(g)+2H2(g) Part A Calculate ΔG for this reaction at 25 ∘C under the following condit

kati45 [8]

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Delta G$ of the reaction at given temperature is -12.964 kJ/mol.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

$CH_3OH(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+2H_2(g)$

The expression of $K_p$ for the given reaction:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{CO})\times (p_{H_2}^2)}{p_{CH_3OH}}$

We are given:

$p_{CO}=0.140atm\\p_{H_2}=0.180atm\\p_{CH_3OH}=0.850atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{(0.140)\times (0.180)^2}{0.850}\\\\K_p=5.34\times 10^{-3}$

To calculate the Gibbs free energy of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT\ln K_p$

where,

$\Delta G$ = Gibbs' free energy of the reaction = ?

$\Delta G^o$ = Standard gibbs' free energy change of the reaction = 0 J (at equilibrium)

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = Temperature = $25^oC=[25+273]K=298K$

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = $5.34\times 10^{-3}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G=0+(8.314J/K.mol\times 298K\times \ln(5.34\times 10^{-3}))\\\\\Delta G=-12963.96J/mol=-12.964kJ/mol$

Hence, the $\Delta G$ of the reaction at given temperature is -12.964 kJ/mol.
