A piston confines 0.200 mol Ne(g) in 1.20 at 25 degree C. Two experiments are performed. (a) The gas is allowed to expand throug

h an additional 1.20 L against a constant of 1.00atm. (b) The gas is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally to the same final volume. Please calculate the work done by the gas system in these two processes, respectively. Which process does more work? (revised from 6/e exercise 8.11) Please show calculation details.

Answer:

The second experiment (reversible path) does more work

Explanation:

Step 1:

A piston confines 0.200 mol Ne(g) in 1.20L at 25 degree °C

<em>(a) The gas is allowed to expand through an additional 1.20 L against a constant of 1.00atm</em>

<em></em>

Irreversible path: w =-Pex*ΔV

⇒ with Pex = 1.00 atm

⇒ with ΔV = 1.20 L

W = -(1.00 atm) * 1.20 L

W = -1.20L*atm *101.325 J /1 L*atm = -121.59 J

<em>(b) The gas is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally to the same final volume.</em>

<em></em>

W = -nRTln(Vfinal/Vinitial)

⇒ with n = the number of moles = 0.200

⇒ with R = gas constant = 8.3145 J/K*mol

⇒ with T = 298 Kelvin

⇒ with Vfinal/Vinitial  = 2.40/1.20 = 2

W = -(0.200mol) * 8.3145 J/K*mol *298K *ln(2.4/1.2)

W = -343.5 J

The second experiment (reversible path) does more work

How do the metals in group 1 compare with the transition metals?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Group 1 metals and transition metals are different from each other, mainly based on the colour of the chemical compounds that they form. The key difference between group 1 metals and transition metals is that the group 1 metals form colourless compounds, whereas the transition metals form colourful compounds.
