(a) The work done by the nitrogen against external pressure is 126.66 J.

(b) The change in the internal energy of the system is -2,466.66 J.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the compound, = 2.25 g</em>
  • <em>External pressure, P = 1.0 atm = 101325 Pa</em>
  • <em>Density of Nitrogen gas, ρ = 1.165 g/L</em>
  • <em>Temperature of the Nitrogen gas, T = 20⁰C</em>

<em />

The molar mass of the given compound is calculated as follows;

NaN₃ = 23+ (14 x 3) = 65 g/mol

65 g -------------- 42

2.25 g ------------- ?

= \frac{2.25 \times 42}{65} \\\\= 1.45 \ g

The volume of the nitrogen gas is calculated as follows;

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \\\\V = \frac{m}{\rho} \\\\V = \frac{1.45}{1.165} \\\\V = 1.25 \ L

V = 0.00125 \ m^3

The work done by the nitrogen against external pressure is calculated as follows;

W = PV\\\\W = 101325 \times 0.00125\\\\W = 126.66 \ J

The change in the internal energy of the system is calculated by applying first law of thermodynamics as follows;

\Delta E = Q - W\\\\\Delta E = (-2,340) - (126.66)\\\\\Delta E = -2,466.66 \ J

Which trait is most likely a result of artificial selection
ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:Artificial selection is distinct from natural selection in that it describes selection applied by humans in order to produce genetic change. When artificial selection is imposed, the trait or traits being selected are known, whereas with natural selection they have to be inferred. In most circumstances and unless otherwise qualified, directional selection is applied, i.e., only high-scoring individuals are favored for a quantitative trait. Artificial selection is the basic method of genetic improvement programs for crop plants or livestock (see Selective Breeding). It is also used as a tool in the laboratory to investigate the genetic properties of a trait in a species or population, for example, the magnitude of genetic variance or heritability, the possible duration of and limits to selection, and the correlations among traits, including with fitness.
