Why are polyatomic called radicals

1 answer:

3 0

That’s because when a charged chemical species composes of two or more atoms (covalently bonded), they act as a single unit. the term radicals refers to free radicals that are with an unpaired electron and because not all of its electrons are found in pairs

The ideal gas heat capacity of nitrogen varies with temperature. It is given by:

hammer [34]

Answer:

A) 1059 J/mol

B) 17,920 J/mol

Explanation:

Given that:

Cp = 29.42 - (2.170*10^-3 ) T + (0.0582*10^-5 ) T2 + (1.305*10^-8 ) T3 – (0.823*10^-11) T4

R (constant) = 8.314

We know that:

$C_p=C_v+R$

We can determine $C_v$ from above if we make $C_v$ the subject of the formula as:

$C_v$ $=C_p-R$

$C_V = 29.42-(2.7*10^{-3})T+(5.82*10^{-7})T2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4-8.314$

$C_V = 21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T+(5.82*10^{-7})T2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4$

A).

The formula for calculating change in internal energy is given as:

$dU=C_vdT$

If we integrate above data into the equation; it implies that:

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T+(5.82*10^{-7})T2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4\,) du$

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T/1+(5.82*10^{-7})T2/2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3/3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4/4\,)$

$U2-U1= 1059J/mol$

Hence, the internal energy that must be added to nitrogen in order to increase its temperature from 450 to 500 K = 1059 J/mol.

B).

If we repeat part A for an initial temperature of 273 K and final temperature of 1073 K.

then T = 273 K & T2 = 1073 K

∴

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T/1+(5.82*10^{-7})T2/2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3/3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4/4\,)$

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})273/1+(5.82*10^{-7})1073/2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3/3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4/4\,)$

$U2-U1= 17,920 J/mol$

A gas has a volume of 1.75L at -23°C and 150.0 kPa. At what temperature would the gas occupy 1.30L at 210.0 kPa?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

At -13 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ , the gas would occupy 1.30L at 210.0 kPa.

Explanation:

Let's assume the gas behaves ideally.

As amount of gas remains constant in both state therefore in accordance with combined gas law for an ideal gas-

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

where $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are initial and final pressure respectively.

$V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ are initial and final volume respectively.

$T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ are initial and final temperature in kelvin scale respectively.

Here $P_{1}=150.0kPa$ , $V_{1}=1.75L$ , $T_{1}=(273-23)K=250K$ , $P_{2}=210.0kPa$ and $V_{2}=1.30L$

Hence $T_{2}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}T_{1}}{P_{1}V_{1}}$

$\Rightarrow T_{2}=\frac{(210.0kPa)\times (1.30L)\times (250K)}{(150.0kPa)\times (1.75L)}$

$\Rightarrow T_{2}=260K$

$\Rightarrow T_{2}=(260-273)^{0}\textrm{C}=-13^{0}\textrm{C}$

So at -13 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ , the gas would occupy 1.30L at 210.0 kPa.
