Bioluminescence is
the biochemical emission of light by living organisms. Bioluminescence occurs through a chemical reaction that produces light energy within an organism's body. For a reaction to occur, a species must contain luciferin, a molecule that, when it reacts with oxygen, produces light.

1. A gas has a pressure of 799.0 mm Hg at 50.0 degrees C. What is the temperature at standard Pressure?
larisa [96]

Answer:

A = 674.33mmHg

B = 0.385atm

Explanation:

Both question A and B requires the application of pressure law which states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provided that volume is kept constant.

Mathematically,

P = kT, k = P / T

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2 = P3 / T3 =.......= Pn/Tn

A)

Data:

P1 = 799mmHg

T1 = 50°C = (50 + 273.15) = 323.15K

P2 = ?

T2 = 273.15K

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

Solve for P2

P2 = (P1 × T2) / T1

P2 = (799 × 273.15) / 323.15

P2 = 674.37mmHg

The final pressure is 674.37mmHg

B)

P1 = 0.470atm

T1 = 60°C = (60 + 273.15)K = 333.15K

P2 = ?

T2 = 273.15K

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

Solve for P2,

P2 = (P1 × T2) / T1

P2 = (0.470 × 273.15) / 333.15

P2 = 0.385atm

The final pressure is 0.385atm

Vinil7 [7]
<h2>Enthalpy Difference</h2>

Explanation:

  • The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that when energy is converted from one form to another, some is always lost due to difference in the enthalpy of the system, which always increases.
  • Enthalpy may be defined as the amount of energy that is stored.
  • During a chemical reaction, the system will absorb or gives out energy in the form of heat and light.
  • The change in energy during a chemical reaction is due to the difference in the energy amount of reacting species and species that are formed.
