Answer:

w = 7376.6 J

Explanation:

To calculate the work done in the system, we need first to calculate the number of moles of all compounds.

The following expression, that comes from the 1° law of thermodynamic, will help you to get the work:

w = ΔnRT

Where:

Δn: difference in the number of moles between products and reactants

R: constant universal of gases (8.314 J / mol K)

T: Temperature in Kelvin.

As we are doing this reaction in STP, then the Pressure is 1 atm, and temperature is 0 °C or 273 K.

Now, we already have the moles of Cu₂O, let's see, according to the balanced reaction, how many moles we should have of O₂ and CuO.

If 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of Cu₂O then 6.5 moles of Cu₂O will be:

moles O₂ = 6.5 moles Cu₂O * (1 mole O₂/2 moles Cu₂O) = 3.25 moles O₂

If 2 moles of Cu₂O produces 4 moles of CuO, then 6.5 moles will be:

moles CuO = 6.5 moles Cu₂O*(4 moles CuO/2 moles Cu₂O) = 13 moles CuO

Now that we have the moles, let's calculate the value of Δn.

Δn = moles product - moles reactants

Δn = 13 - (6.5 + 3.25) = 3.25 moles

Now, we can calculate the work done in the system:

w = 3.25 * (8.314 * 273)

<h2>w = 7376.6 J or 7.3766 kJ</h2>

Hope this helps

Why is the thiosulfate solution stored in the dark?
Pani-rosa [81]
Solutions of thiosulfate are light-sensitive. When exposed to light, they break down into <span>sulfur, sulfite, and sulfate compounds. That is why as much as possible, they must be stored in the dark. This is also the reason why they are stored in amber (dark-colored) bottles.</span>

1. Suppose during volleyball practice, you lost 2.0 lbs of water due to sweating. If all of this
Lynna [10]

Answer:

E=2052.8 kJ

Explanation:

The energy absorbed by the water is the energy it requires to evaporate. So:

Heat of .vap= 40.65 kJ/mol

The moles of water:

n_w=m_w *\frac{1000g}{2.2lbs}*\frac{1}{M}

M is the water molecular weight

n_w=2 lbs *\frac{1000g}{2.2lbs}*\frac{1}{18g/mol}

n_w=50.5mol

The energy absorbed:

E=n_w*Heat of vap.=50.5mol *40.65 kJ/mol

E=2052.8 kJ

Identify the single displacement reaction.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer : The correct option is, (D)

Explanation :

Option A reaction : C_4H_{12}+7O_2\rightarrow 6H_2O+4CO_2

It is a combustion reaction. A reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give product as carbon dioxide and water.

Option B reaction : 2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

It is a combination reaction. A reaction in which the two or more reactants react to give a product.

Option C reaction : Al_2S_3\rightarrow 2Al+3S

It is a decomposition reaction. A reaction in which a reactant decomposes to form two or more products.

Option D reaction : Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2

It is a single displacement reaction. It is a reaction in which the more reactive element displace the less reactive element.  In this reaction, most reactive element chlorine displaces the less reactive element bromine.

Hence, the correct option is, (D)
