What is one major difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves?

1 answer:

6 0

While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance. Mechanical waves are also called elastic wavesas their propagation depends on the elastic properties of the medium through which the waves pass.

what pressure is generated when 5 mol of ethane is stored in a volume of 8 dm 3 at 25°C? Base calculations on each of the follow

Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) 40,75 atm

b) 30,11 atm

Explanation:

The Ideal Gas Equation is an equation that describes the behavior of the ideal gases:

PV = nRT

where:

P = pressure [atm]
V = volume [L]
n = number of mole of gas [n]
R= gas constant = 0,08205 [atm.L/mol.°K]
T=absolute temperature [°K]

Note: We can express this values with other units, but we must ensure that the units used are the same as those used in the gas constant.

The truncated virial equation of state, is an equation used to model the behavior of real gases. In this, unlike the ideal gas equation, other parameters of the gases are considered as the intermolecular forces and the space occupied by the gas

$\frac{Pv}{RT} = 1 + \frac{B}{v}$

where:

v is the molar volume [L/mol]
B is the second virial coefficient [L/mol]
P the pressure [atm]
R the gas constant = 0,08205 [atm.L/mol.°K]

a) Ideal gas equation:

We convert our data to the adecuate units:

n = 5 moles

V = 3 dm3 = 3 L

T = 25°C = 298°K

We clear pressure of the idea gas equation and replace the data:

PV = nRT ..... P = nRT/V = 5 * 0,08205 * 298/3 =40,75 atm

b) Truncated virial equation:

We convert our data to the adecuate units:

n = 5 moles

V = 3 dm3 = 3 L

T = 25°C = 298°K

B = -156,7*10^-6 m3/mol = -156,7*10^-3 L/mol

We clear pressure of the idea gas equation and replace the data:

$\frac{Pv}{RT} = 1 + \frac{B}{v} ...... P = (1 + \frac{B}{v}) \frac{RT}{v}$

and v = 3 L/5 moles = 0,6 L/mol

$P = (1 + \frac{-156,7*10^{-3} }{0,6} ) \frac{0,08205*298}{0,6} = 30,11 atm$

Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate Δ H ∘ rxn for each reaction. MISSED THIS? Read Section 7.9; Watch KCV 7.9, IWE

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Standard Heat of Reaction 1 = -136.2 kJ/mol

Standard Heat of Reaction 2 = -41.166 kJ/mol

Standard Heat of Reaction 3 = -136.07 kJ/mol

Standard Heat of Reaction 4 = 279.448kJ/mol

Explanation:

C₂H₄ (g) + H₂ (g) → C₂H₆ (g)

CO (g) + H₂O (g) → H₂ (g) + CO₂ (g)

3NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → 2HNO₃ (aq) + NO (g)

Cr₂O₃ (s) + 3CO (g) → 2Cr (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

The required standard heat of formation for each of the reactants and product above, as obtained from literature is listed below.

C₂H₄ (g), 52.5 kJ/mol

H₂ (g), 0 kJ/mol

C₂H₆ (g), -83.7 kJ/mol
