Chemistry

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

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Compared to the normal freezing point and boiling point of water, a 1-molar solution of sugar in water will have a
marysya [2.9K]

Answer :

  • Boiling point of the sugar solution will be higher than that of water's boling point.
  • Freezing point of the sugar solution will be lower than that of water's freezing point.

Explanation:

  • Boiling point of a liquid is defined as temperature at which vapor pressure of liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.

Boiling point of solution is always higher than that of the pure solvent

Vapor pressure increases with increase in temperature which means sugar solution will be heated more to make vapor pressure equal to atmospheric pressure.

  • Freezing point is defined as temperature at which solid and liquid phase are at equilibrium or temperature at which vapor pressure of liquid becomes equal to the vapor pressure in its solid phase.

Freezing point of solution is always lower than that of the pure solvent.

Lower the temperature, lower will be the vapor pressure which sugar solution solution will get freeze at lower temperature than that of the water.

How is electronegativity related to covalent bonding?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Atoms must have similar electronegativities in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bonding is one of the bondings that occurs between the atoms of elements. It is the bonding in which atoms share their valence electrons with one another. However, the ELECTRONEGATIVITY, which is the ability of an atom to be attracted to electrons play a major role in the formation of covalent bonds.

When atoms of different electronegativities combine, the more electronegative atom pulls more electrons towards itself, hence, an IONIC bond is formed. However, when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar, the sharing of their electrons becomes stronger. Hence, ATOMS MUST HAVE SIMILAR ELECTRONEGATIVITIES in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.

the pressure in a sealed plastic container is 108 kPa at 41 degrees Celsius. What is the pressure when the temperature drops to
Katarina [22]

<u>Answer:</u> The new pressure will be 101.46 kPa.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the new pressure, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume.

The equation given by this law is:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are initial pressure and temperature.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are final pressure and temperature.

We are given:

By using conversion factor:   T(K)=T(^oC)+273

P_1=108kPa\\T_1=41^oC=314K\\P_2=?kPa\\T_2=22^oC=295K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{108kPa}{314K}=\frac{P_2}{295K}\\\\P_2=101.46kPa

Hence, the new pressure will be 101.46 kPa.
