Answer:

D. Oxidation

Explanation:

In an <em>electrolytic cell</em>, oxidation (the loss of electrons) takes place at the anode. At the cathode reduction takes place.

A mnemonic technique that could be used is that the process that starts with a vowel (Oxidation) takes place at the place that also starts with a vowel (Anode).

Two moles of ideal He gas are contained at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 300 K. 34166 J of heat are transferred to th

iragen [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

n = 2 mol, P = 1 atm, T = 300 K

Q = +34166 J, W= -1216 J (work done against surrounding)

$C_{v}$ = $\frac{3R}{2}$

Relation between internal energy, work and heat is as follows.

Change in internal energy ( $\Delta U$ ) = Q + W

= [34166 + (-1216)] J

= 32950 J

Also, $\Delta U = n \times C_{v} \times \Delta T$

= $3R \times (T_{2} - T_{1})$

32950 J = $3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times (T_{2} - 300 K)$

$\frac{32950}{24.942} = T_{2} - 300 K$

1321.06 K + 300 K = $T_{2}$

$T_{2}$ = 1621.06 K

Thus, we can conclude that the final temperature of the gas is 1621.06 K.
