g Consider an ideal atomic gas in a cylinder. The upper part of the cylinder is a moveable piston of negligible weight. The heig

ht of the cylinder is 30 cm. The outside pressure is 105 Pa. The temperature of the gas is kept at 250 K throughout the experiment. The volume filled by the gas is 2.0 l. Now assume that solid cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. Cylinder and piston have the same diameter. Assume that the kinetic energy of the weight is completely converted into heat transferred into the gas cylinder. Calculate the change of entropy of the gas and of the environment.

A cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. The entropy of the gas is 1.18 J/K and the change in the entropy of the environment is -1.18 J/K.

A cylindrical weight with a mass (m) of 3 kg is dropped, that is, its initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s and travels 10 m (s). Assuming the acceleration (a) is that of gravity (9.8 m/s²). We can calculate the velocity (v) of the weight in the instant prior to the collision with the piston using the following kinematic equation.

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as = 2 (9.8 m/s^{2} ) (10m) \\\\v = 14 m/s

The object with a mass of 3 kg collides with the piston at 14 m/s, The kinetic energy (K) of the object at that moment is:

K = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} (3kg) (14m/s)^{2} = 294 J

The kinetic energy of the weight is completely converted into heat transferred into the gas cylinder. Thus, Q = 294 J.

Given all the process is at 250 K (T), we can calculate the change of entropy of the gas using the following expression.

\Delta S_{gas} = \frac{Q}{T} = \frac{294 J}{250K} = 1.18 J/K

The change in the entropy of the environment, has the same value but opposite sign than the change in the entropy of the gas. Thus, \Delta S_{env} = -1.18 J/K

A cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. The entropy of the gas is 1.18 J/K and the change in the entropy of the environment is -1.18 J/K.

A gas with an empirical formula C2H2O has a molecular weight of 120.6g/mol. A possible molecular formula for the gas is
Virty [35]

M(C2H2O)= 12.0*2 +1.0*2 +16.0 = 42 g/mol is a molar mass for empirical formula.

120.6g/mol/42g/mol ≈ 3

So, empirical formula should be increased 3 times,

and molecular formula is C6H6O3.

Answer is D.

How do the valence electrons of an element determine how they will combine with other elements to produce a compound? Please hel
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence electrons are electrons found on the valence (outermost) shell of an atom.

When an atoms form compounds, there is an exchange of valence electrons between the atoms of one element and the atoms of another element.

Let us consider a typical example, sodium has one valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. This means that chlorine needs one electron to complete its octet while sodium needs to release one electron in order to attain the octet structure.

So, sodium gives out its one electron and becomes a stable sodium ion and chlorine accepts that electron and becomes a stable chloride ion. This is how the compound sodium chloride is formed.

When a substance is in the liquid state, how are the particles of that substance<br> behaving
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

In liquids, particles are quite close together and move with random motion throughout the container. Particles move rapidly in all directions but collide with each other more frequently than in gases due to shorter distances between particles. With an increase in temperature, the particles move faster as they gain kinetic energy, resulting in increased collision rates and an increased rate of diffusion.
