Answer:
1) ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol
2) ΔG°r will decrease with decreasing temperature
Explanation:
- CO(g) + H2O(g) → H2(g) + CO2(g)
1) ΔG°r = ∑νiΔG°f,i
⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = ΔG°CO2(g) + ΔG°H2(g) - ΔG°H2O(g) - ΔG°CO(g)
from literature, T = 298 K:
∴ ΔG°CO2(g) = - 394.359 KJ/mol
∴ ΔG°CO(g) = - 137.152 KJ/mol
∴ ΔG°H2(g) = 0 KJ/mol........pure substance
∴ ΔG°H2O(g) = - 228.588 KJ/mol
⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 394.359 KJ/mol + 0 KJ/mol - ( - 228.588 KJ/mol ) - ( - 137.152 KJ7mol )
⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol
2) K = e∧(-ΔG°/RT)
∴ R = 8.314 E-3 KJ/K.mol
∴ T = 298 K
⇒ K = e∧(-28.619/(8.314 E-3)(298) = 9.624 E-6
⇒ ΔG°r = - RTLnK
If T (↓) ⇒ ΔG°r (↓)
assuming T = 200 K
⇒ ΔG°r(200 K) = - (8.314 E-3)(200)Ln(9.624E-3)
⇒ ΔG°r (200K) = - 19.207 KJ/mol < ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol
Answer:
Uses nuclear reactions to produce energy
Implodes a fuel pellet
Explanation:
Laser fusion is a method of initiating nuclear fusion reactions through heating, and compressing fuel pellets containing deuterium and tritium using high energy density laser beams. Lase fusion is also known as inertial confinement fusion and the energy produced by the process is known as Laser Inertial Fusion Energy, LIFE.
During the process of laser fusion, small pellets of deuterium-tritium (DT) isotopes mixture are fed into a blast chamber where they are compressed to high densities using a number of amplified laser beams in the chamber.
The high energy density of the beams as well as the heat produced due to compression, induces the thermonuclear explosion ignition resulting in the production of high energetic products such as charged particles, x-rays and neutrons. The energy produced is absorbed and stored as heat in a blanket that is then used in a steam thermal cycle to generate electrical power.
There are two methods of compression of the DT pellet: direct and indirect-drive laser fusions.
However, there are a number of limitations to energy production by this process. One limitation is that the process is extremely inefficient in energy energy production. Also, the heat produced by the flashtubes results innthe deformation of the laser glass.
Answer:
Fault-block mountain
In geography, fault-block mountains arise when the Earth's crust pulls apart and divides. Some parts of the Earth are pushed upwards whereas the other moves downward forming a divergent boundary. In geological studies, a divergent boundary can be described as a linear feature which arises due to plate tectonics which are being pulled apart from each other. Hence, fault-block mountains are most likely to be seen in a divergent boundary.
Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands, which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps that molten lava rises to fill.
