Answer:

w = -531 kJ

1. Work was done by the system.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Heat gained by the system (q): 687 kJ (By convention, when the system absorbs heat, q > 0).

Change in the internal energy of the system (ΔU°): 156 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the work done (w)

We will use the following expression.

ΔU° = q + w

w = ΔU° - q

w = 156 kJ - 687 kJ

w = -531 kJ

By convention, when w < 0, work is done by the system on the surroundings.

If a 1.00 mL sample of the reaction mixture for the equilibrium constant experiment required 32.40 mL of 0.258 M NaOH to titrate

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The concentration of acetic acid is 8.36 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of acetic acid = 1.00 mL = 0.001 L

Volume of NaOH = 32.40 mL = 0.03240 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.258 M

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the acetic acid

b*Ca*Va = a*Cb*Vb

⇒with b = the coefficient of NaOH = 1

⇒with Ca = the concentration of CH3COOH = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with Va = the volume of CH3COOH = 1.00 mL = 0.001L

⇒with a = the coefficient of CH3COOH = 1

⇒with Cb = the concentration of NaOH = 0.258 M

⇒with Vb = the volume of NaOH = 32.40 mL = 0.03240 L

Ca * 0.001 L = 0.258 * 0.03240

Ca = 8.36 M

The concentration of acetic acid is 8.36 M

The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway.

Nitella [24]

1) To find the change in enthalpy, determine the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants. (on this diagram, C-A) To find the activation energy, find the difference between the potential energy of the reactants and the "peak" of the curve (on this diagram, B-A). For this diagram, both the enthalpy and activation energy are positive.

2) If the reaction was exothermic, enthalpy would be negative, and the potential energy of the reactants would be greater than the potential energy of the products.
