As a system increases in volume, it absorbs 59.0 J of energy in the form of heat from the surroundings. The piston is working ag

ainst a pressure of 0.543 atm. The final volume of the system is 57.7 L. What was the initial volume of the system if the internal energy of the system decreased by 107.6 J? Volume = L

Answer:

The initial volume of the system is 2.7 L

Explanation:

The change in internal energy is given by;

ΔU = Q - W

where;

Q is the heat absorb from the surrounding

W is the work done by the system

Given;

ΔU  = -107.6 J

Q = 59 J

W = ?

W = Q- ΔU

W = 59J - (-107.6)

W = 166.6 J

Work done is given by;

W = PΔV

W = P(V₂ - V₁)

101.325 Joules = 1 L.atm

166.6 Joules  = ?

= 1.644 L.atm

1.644 L.atm = 0.543 atm(57.7L - V₁)

57.7L - V₁ = (1.644 L.atm) / (0.543 atm)

57.7L - V₁ = 3.0 L

V₁ = 57.7L - 3.0 L

V₁ = 2.7 L

Therefore, the initial volume of the system is 2.7 L

Zina [86]

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2} kg

Height difference of pellet rise h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03 m

Spring compression x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2} m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

  mg(h_{f} -h_{o})  = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Where k = spring constant, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

  k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }

  k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }

  k = 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.
