Answer:

Gold is not used for making electric wires because it is too rare, and too costlier than Copper. Silver and copper are used for making wires. Copper is almost used in electric lines

A sample of 4.50 g of methane occupies 12.7 dm3 at 310 K. (a) Calculate the work done when the gas expands isothermally against

valkas [14]

Answer:

(A) Work done will be 87.992 KJ

(B) Work done will be 167.4 KJ

Explanation:

We have given mass of methane m = 4.5 gram = 0.0045 kg

Volume occupies $V_1=12.7dm^3=12.7liters$

And volume is increased by $3.3dm^3$ so $V_2=12.7+3.3=16liters$

Temperature T = 310 K

Pressure is given as 200 Torr = 26664.5 Pa

(a) At constant pressure work done is given by

$W=P(V_2-V_1)=26664.5\times (16-12.7)=87992.85J=87.992kj$

(b) At reversible process work done is given by $W=nRTln\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

We have given mass = 4.5 gram

Molar mass of methane = 16

So number of moles $n=\frac{mass\ in\ gram}{mol;ar\ mass}=\frac{4.5}{16}=0.28125$

So work done $W=0.28125\times 8.314\times 310ln\frac{16}{12.7}=167.4J$

Why are the significantly more thunderstorms in Florida than in California?

Andreyy89

Because Florida is wet and humid, while California is dry and non-humid. Florida also contains lots of lakes which evaporate to create thunderstorms.

A system gains 757 kJ757 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +176 kJ.+176 kJ. How much w

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

581 kJ, work was done by the system

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)

In this problem,

$Q=+757 kJ$

$\Delta U = +176 kJ$

Therefore the work done by the system is

$W=Q-\Delta U=757 kJ-176 kJ=+581 kJ$

And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.
