Answer:

d. 60.8 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Heat absorbed (Q): 53.1 J
  • External pressure (P): 0.677 atm
  • Final volume (V2): 63.2 L
  • Change in the internal energy (ΔU): -108.3 J

Step 2: Calculate the work (W) done by the system

We will use the following expression.

ΔU = Q + W

W = ΔU - Q

W = -108.3 J - 53.1 J = -161.4 J

Step 3: Convert W to atm.L

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm.L = 101.325 J.

-161.4 J ×  1 atm.L/101.325 J = -1.593 atm.L

Step 4: Calculate the initial volume

First, we will use the following expression.

W = - P × ΔV

ΔV = - W / P

ΔV = - 1.593 atm.L / 0.677 atm = 2.35 L

The initial volume is:

V2 = V1 + ΔV

V1 = V2 - ΔV

V1 = 63.2 L - 2.35 L = 60.8 L

Not sure what you are asking. I have two possible answers though...

It could either be more negatively charged, or valence electrons.

The more away from the nucleus a electron is, the more negatively charged it is.

The electrons on the outermost electron shell is valence electrons.

Again, I don't know what you were asking, but one of these answers may be correct.

Explain the significance of this quote, “Heisenberg may have slept here.”
ch4aika [34]

Umm...Well...

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle says that we can never know both the position and rate of change of a particle at any time. We can only know one or the other. This leads to rather silly jokes that deal with uncertainty, probability, and superposition. So, saying that "Heisenberg may have slept here" is essentially saying that it is uncertain if Heisenberg slept there or not, making for a rather silly, but slightly unfunny physics joke.

Need a bit of help with this. Fill in the coefficients, explain your answer.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Reactions</u>

  • Balancing Reactions

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

RxN:   Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃

<u>Step 2: Balance</u>

We need to balance both Fe and O.

LCM of 2 and 3 is 6:

Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

We now need the same amount of Fe on both sides:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
