Answer:

\Delta P=4.10atm

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the ideal gas equation is used under the assumption of no interaction between molecules and perfectly sphere-shaped molecules but the van der Waals equation actually includes those effects, we can compute each pressure as shown below, considering the temperature in kelvins (22.3+273.15=295.45K):

P^{ideal}=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{15.0mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*295.45K}{8.00L}=45.5atm

Next, since the VdW equation requires the molar volume, we proceed as shown below:

v=\frac{8.00L}{15.0mol}=0.533\frac{L}{mol}

Now, we use its definition:

P^{VdW}=\frac{RT}{v-b} -\frac{a}{v^2}

Thus, by plugging in we obtain:

P^{VdW}=\frac{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*295.45K}{0.533mol/L-0.0430L/mol} -\frac{2.300L^2*atm/mol^2}{(0.533L/mol)^2}\\\\P^{VdW}=49.44atm-8.09atm\\\\P^{VdW}=41.4atm

Thus, the pressure difference is:

\Delta P=45.5atm-41.4atm\\\\\Delta P=4.10atm

Best regards!

Using the law of conservation of energy, explain why an LED light is more energy efficient that an incandescent light bulb.
hjlf

Answer:

An LED light uses one-third the energy of an incandescent bulb to produce the same amount of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

A typical 100 W incandescent bulb produces about <em>5 % visible light</em>, 83 % IR radiation, and 12 % heat (it is the IR radiation that makes the bulb feel hot).

It produces about 5 J of light energy for every 100 J of energy input.

A typical LED bulb produces about <em>15 % visible light</em> and 85 % heat (LEDs feel cool, because they don't produce IR radiation).

It produces about 15 J of light energy for every 100 J of energy input.

Thus, an LED light is about three times as efficient at converting electrical energy into light

A compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of 0.157g of the compound produced 0.213g of CO2 and
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

C_{7} H_{5}N_{3}O_{6}

Explanation:

First reaction gives you the number of moles or the mass from Carbon and hydrogen

for carbon:

0,213gCO_{2} .\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} .\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} =0.005molC

0.213gCO_{2} .\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} .\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} .\frac{12gC}{1molC} = 0.058gC\\

Analogously for hydrogen:

0.0310gH_{2}O have 0.0034gH or 0.0034mol of H

In the second reaction you can obtain the amount of nitrogen as a percentage and find the mass of N in the first sample.

0.023gNH_{3} .\frac{1molNH_{3}}{17gNH_{3}} .\frac{1molN}{1molNH_{3}} .\frac{14gN}{1molN} \frac{100}{0.103gsample} =18.4%N

now

\frac{18.4gN}{100gsample} .0.157gsample=0.0289gN in the first reaction

this is equivalet to 0.002mol of N

with this information you can find the mass of oxygen by matter conservation.

gO=total mass-(gN+gC+gH)=0.157-(0.0289+0.058+0.0034)=0.0666gO

this is equivalent to 0.004molO

finally you divide all moles obtained between the smaller number of mole (this is mol of H)

C\frac{0.0048}{0.0034} H\frac{0.0034}{0.0034} N\frac{0.002}{0.0034} O\frac{0.004}{0.0034} =C_{1.4} HN_{0.6} O_{1.2}

and you can multiply by  5   to obtain: C_{7} H_{5}N_{3}O_{6}

SNC2L Reflection Activities
slega [8]

The reflection from plane mirror is shown in the diagram.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The mirror is a plane surface which can reflect light. The diagram attached shows the schematic representation of reflection that occurs in a plane mirror.

The laws of reflection states that the incident ray, reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence lies at the same plane. Here we can also see that all are lying on a same plane.

The second law states that angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection. Here we can also see that the i =r. It is applicable here too.
