Question:

What occurs to the atoms of reactants in a chemical reaction?

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. ... No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.

Order the follow processes from (1) the least work done by the system to (5) the most work done by one mole of an ideal gas at 2

quester [9]

Answer : The order of process from (1) the least work done by the system to (5) the most work done by the system will be:

(1) < (5) < (3) < (4) < (2)

Explanation :

<u>The formula used for isothermally irreversible expansion is :</u>

$w=-p_{ext}dV\\\\w=-p_{ext}(V_2-V_1)$

where,

w = work done

$p_{ext}$ = external pressure

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas

$V_2$ = final volume of gas

<u>The expression used for work done in reversible isothermal expansion will be,</u>

$w=-nRT\ln (\frac{V_2}{V_1})$

where,

w = work done = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 1 mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K

T = temperature of gas = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas

$V_2$ = final volume of gas

First we have to determine the work done for the following process.

(1) An isothermal expansion from 1 L to 10 L at an external pressure of 2.5 atm.

$w=-p_{ext}(V_2-V_1)$

$w=-(2.5atm)\times (10-1)L$

$w=-22.5L.atm=-22.5\times 101.3J=-2279.25J$

(2) A free isothermal expansion from 1 L to 100 L.

$w=-nRT\ln (\frac{V_2}{V_1})$

$w=-1mole\times 8.314J/moleK\times 298K\times \ln (\frac{100L}{1L})$

$w=-11409.6J$

(3) A reversible isothermal expansion from 0.5 L to 4 L.

$w=-nRT\ln (\frac{V_2}{V_1})$

$w=-1mole\times 8.314J/moleK\times 298K\times \ln (\frac{4L}{0.5L})$

$w=-5151.97J$

(4) A reversible isothermal expansion from 0.5 L to 40 L.

$w=-nRT\ln (\frac{V_2}{V_1})$

$w=-1mole\times 8.314J/moleK\times 298K\times \ln (\frac{40L}{0.5L})$

$w=-10856.8J$

(5) An isothermal expansion from 1 L to 100 L at an external pressure of 0.5 atm.

$w=-p_{ext}(V_2-V_1)$

$w=-(0.5atm)\times (100-1)L$

$w=-49.5L.atm=-49.5\times 101.3J=-5014.35J$

Thus, the order of process from (1) the least work done by the system to (5) the most work done by the system will be:

(1) < (5) < (3) < (4) < (2)

In your own words, describe what is the role or function of the neutron in the atom's nucleus

pochemuha

Neutrons are very important in provide stability for an atom. When atoms are created by fusion, neutrons are included in this process. Because protons don't like each other and repel each other that's where neutrons come in.
