Suppose 2.00 mol of an ideal, monatomic gas is initially at a pressure of 3.00 atm and a temperature T = 350 K. It is expanded i

rreversibly and adiabatically (q = 0) against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm until the volume has doubled.

Answer:

a) the final volume is 38.285 L

b)

w = - 1839.158 J,

q = 0,

ΔU = - 1839.158 J

Explanation:

Given that;

number of moles n = 2

initial pressure p1 = 3 atm

external pressure p_ext = 1 atm

temperature T1 = 350 k

we know that gas constant R = 8.315 JK⁻¹mol¹ = 0.08206 L atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

a)

to determine the initial volume , we use the equation for ideal gas;

V1 = nRT1/p1

so we substitute

V1 = (2 × 0.08206 × 350) / 3

V1 = 57.442 . 3

V1 = 19.147 L

given that, the gas is expanded irreversibly and adiabatically until the volume has doubled;

so Final volume v2 will be;

V2 = 2 × V1

V2 = 2 × 19.147 L

V2 = 38.285 L  

Therefore, the final volume is 38.285 L

 

b)

to determine w, q and U;

we know that, work done in gas expansion at a constant speed is expressed in the following equation;

w = -p_ext ΔV

where ΔV is change in volume

so we substitute

w = -( 1 atm) ( 38.285 L - 19.147 L)

w = -( 1 atm) ( 19.138 L)

w = -(19.138 L-atm)

we know that 1 L-atm = 101.325 J.

so

w = -(19.138 × 101.325 J)

w = - 1839.158 J

now, since there is no transfer of heat into or out of the system for the adiabatic process;

q = 0

using the first law of thermodynamics, changes in internal energy will be;

ΔU = q + w

we substitute

ΔU = 0 + ( - 1839.158 J )

ΔU = - 1839.158 J

The diagram shows four different locations in an atom.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The answer is 1 and 4.

Explanation:

Mass is most concentrated in the nucelus of an atom. Therefore, if you are looking to find the area with the least mass, go outside of the nucelus. Points one and four are the furthest outside of the nucleus.

Do atoms lend and borrow electrons from inner shells
zaharov [31]
False. They don't borrow electrons at all. They already have their respective electron affinities. This is called as electronegativity, and it's an occurence where it already has its own from its actual structure. It never borrows any electrons at all.

Can a combination reaction be a redox reaction ?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Yes A redox reaction can be a combination reaction.

Two elements are mixed in a combination reaction to produce a single product.

Explanation:

Example: water formula

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Oxygen is reduced in this reaction when electrons are transferred from hydrogen to oxygen and hydrogen is also oxidized since oxygen from hydrogen accepts electrons. Oxygen is the oxidizing agent and hydrogen is the reducing agent.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
