<span>The lattice structure in a metal is weaker than the lattice structure of an ionic compound. This is because the metals have free electrons which can freely move around while ionic compounds are strongly bonded. Hope this answers the question.</span>
If it is just ratio you must just put the mass number on the either side of the symbol ‘:’ and cancel but the same process is not used to find simplest ratio
Complete question:
ΔU for a van der Waals gas increases by 475 J in an expansion process, and the magnitude of w is 93.0 J. calculate the magnitude of q for the process.
Answer:
The magnitude of q for the process 568 J.
Explanation:
Given;
change in internal energy of the gas, ΔU = 475 J
work done by the gas, w = 93 J
heat added to the system, = q
During gas expansion process, heat is added to the gas.
Apply the first law of thermodynamic to determine the magnitude of heat added to the gas.
ΔU = q - w
q = ΔU + w
q = 475 J + 93 J
q = 568 J
Therefore, the magnitude of q for the process 568 J.
