Explanation:

Fusion vs Fission

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium. Both reactions release energy which, in a power plant, would be used to boil water to drive a steam generator, thus producing electricity.

Answer:

The correct option is: (D) -2.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Chemical reaction involved: 2PG ↔ PEP

Given: The standard Gibb's free energy change: ΔG° = +1.7 kJ/mol

Temperature: T = 37° C = 37 + 273.15 = 310.15 K (∵ 0°C = 273.15K)

Gas constant: R = 8.314 J/(K·mol) = 8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/(K·mol) (∵ 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Reactant concentration: 2PG = 0.5 mM

Product concentration: PEP = 0.1 mM

Reaction quotient: $Q_{r} =\frac{\left [ PEP \right ]}{\left [ 2PG \right ]} = \frac{0.1 mM}{0.5 mM} = 0.2$

To find out the Gibb's free energy change at 37° C (310.15 K), we use the equation:

$\Delta G = \Delta G^{\circ } + 2.303 R T log Q_{r}$

$\Delta G = 1.7 kJ/mol + [2.303 \times (8.314 \times 10^{-3} kJ/(K.mol))\times (310.15 K)] log (0.2)$

$\Delta G = 1.7 + [5.938] \times (-0.699) = 1.7 - 4.15 = (-2.45 kJ/mol)$

Therefore, the Gibb's free energy change at 37° C (310.15 K): ΔG = (-2.45 kJ/mol)

vaporized at 100°C and 1 atmosphere pressure. Assuming ideal gas 1 g mole of water is behavior calculate the work done and compa

Vesna [10]

Answer:

q = 40.57 kJ; w = -3.10 kJ; strong H-bonds must be broken.

Explanation:

1. Heat absorbed

q = nΔH = 1 mol × (40.57 kJ/1 mol) = 40.57 kJ

2. Change in volume

V(water) = 0.018 L

pV = nRT

1 atm × V = 1 mol × 0.082 06 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹ × 373.15 K

V = 30.62 L

ΔV = V(steam) - V(water) = 30.62 L - 0.018 L = 30.60 L

3. Work done

w = -pΔV = - 1 atm × 30.60 L = -30.60 L·atm

w = -30.60 L·atm × (101.325 J/1 L·atm) = -3100 J = -3.10 kJ

4. Why the difference?

Every gas does 3.10 kJ of work when it expands at 100 °C and 1 atm.

The difference is in the heat of vaporization. Water molecules are strongly hydrogen bonded to each other, so it takes a large amount of energy to convert water from the liquid phase to the vapour phase.
