Aleks [24]

Answer:

Hydrogen: -141 kJ/g

Methane: -55kJ/g

The energy released per gram of hydrogen in its combustion is higher than the energy released per gram of methane in its combustion.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of the energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.

Qc + Qb = 0

Qc = -Qb  [1]

We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.

Q = C . ΔT

where,

C is the heat capacity

ΔT is the change in the temperature

<h3>Hydrogen</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (14.3°C) = -162 kJ

The heat released per gram of hydrogen is:

\frac{-162kJ}{1.15g} =-141 kJ/g

<h3>Methane</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (7.3°C) = -82 kJ

The heat released per gram of methane is:

\frac{-82kJ}{1.50g} =-55kJ/g

An expandable container of oxygen has a volume of 30.0mL at a pressure of 36.7psi. If the pressure of the oxygen is reduced to 2
ELEN [110]

Answer:44.04mL

Explanation:Parameters given

V1 = 30.0mL

P1 = 36.7psi

P2 = 25.0psi

V2 = ??

From Boyle's gas law, which states that "the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature"

This means that,

the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases, and also the pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of the container increases.

Mathematically, Boyle's can be represented as shown below

P= k/V

Where P = Pressure, V = Volume and k is constant

Therefore,

PV = k

P1V1 = P2V2 =PnVn

Using the formula

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (36.7psi × 30.0mL) / 25.0psi

V2 = 1101.0/25.0

V2 = 44.04mL
