Answer:

Here's my definition (in my own words)

Explanation:

In any closed system... no matter what reactions occur, the mass of the system will remain the same. Mass will not be destroyed, rather it will just be "converted" to something else.

A metal pellet with a mass of 100.0 g, originally at 116°C, is dropped into a cup of water, initially at

Alina [70]

Answer:

C, 42g

Explanation:

In thermal equilibrium, both bodies (metal pellet and water) both have the same final temperature (46.3°C).

Assuming no heat is lost to surroundings,

the energy lost from metal pellet = energy gained for water

Since E = mc∆T

(energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change)

mc∆T (metal pellet) = mc∆T (water)

100 x 0.568 x (116-46.3) = m 4.184 (46.3 - 23.8)

3958.96 = 94.14m

m = 42g

grin007 [14]

Well, TECHNICALLY, the periodic table is "based" upon a whole myriad of characteristics. But if you're talking about the consecutive arrangement of elements...it would be B, the atomic number.

A chemist fills a reaction vessel with 9.20 atm nitrogen monoxide (NO) gas, 9.15 atm chlorine (CI) gas, and 7.70 atm nitrosyl ch

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The reactions free energy $\Delta G = -49.36 kJ$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of (NO) is $P_{NO} = 9.20 \ atm$

The pressure of (Cl) gas is $P_{Cl} = 9.15 \ atm$

The pressure of nitrosly chloride (NOCl) is $P_{(NOCl)} = 7.70 \ atm$

The reaction is

$2NO_{(g)} + Cl_2 (g)$ ⇆ $2 NOCl_{(g)}$

From the reaction we can mathematically evaluate the $\Delta G^o$ (Standard state free energy ) as

$\Delta G^o = 2 \Delta G^o _{NOCl} - \Delta G^o _{Cl_2} - 2 \Delta G^o _{NO}$

The Standard state free energy for NO is constant with a value

$\Delta G^o _{NO} = 86.55 kJ/mol$

The Standard state free energy for $Cl_2$ is constant with a value

$\Delta G^o _{Cl_2} = 0kJ/mol$

The Standard state free energy for $NOCl$ is constant with a value

$\Delta G^o _{NOCl} =66.1kJ/mol$

Now substituting this into the equation

$\Delta G^o = 2 * 66.1 - 0 - 2 * 87.6$

$= -43 kJ/mol$

The pressure constant is evaluated as

$Q = \frac{Pressure \ of \ product }{ Pressure \ of \ reactant }$

Substituting values

$Q = \frac{(7.7)^2 }{(9.2)^2 (9.15) } = \frac{59.29}{774.456}$

$= 0.0765$

The free energy for this reaction is evaluated as

$\Delta G = \Delta G^o + RT ln Q$

Where R is gas constant with a value of $R = 8.314 J / K \cdot mol$

T is temperature in K with a given value of $T = 25+273 = 298 K$

Substituting value

$\Delta G = -43 *10^{3} + 8.314 *298 * ln [0.0765]$

$= -43-6.36$

$\Delta G = -49.36 kJ$
