Answer:

as temperature increases it speeds up chemical reactions and that accelerates the spoiling process of food. Keeping food in a cold place (a fridge) slows down those processes.

Which of the following statements is not a description of neptune?

KIM [24]

The appropriate answer is B. Has no atmosphere. Neptune is a gas giant and is the eight planet in the solar system. It has a thick atmosphere consisting of hydrogen, helium and methane. Neptune has at least eight moons with Triton being the largest.

Neptune has four rings which circle the planet. The rings are made of dust particles, similar to the rings of Saturn.

Neon is compressed from 100 kPa and 16°C to 500 kPa in an isothermal compressor. Determine the change in the specific volume and

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$\Delta v=-0.952m^3/kg$

$\Delta h=0$

Explanation:

In this case, since neon could be considered as an ideal gas, the specific volumes at the first and second state are respectively:

$v_1=\frac{Rg*T_1}{p_1}=\frac{0.4119kJ/kg*K*289.15}{100kPa} =1.19m^3/kg\\$

$v_2=\frac{Rg*T_2}{p_2}=\frac{0.4119kJ/kg*K*289.15}{500kPa} =0.238m^3/kg\\$

Thus, the change in the specific volume turns out:

$\Delta v=v_2-v_1=0.238m^3/kg-1.19m^3/kg\\\Delta v=-0.952m^3/kg$

Which value has sense for the compression.

In addition, the specific enthalpy change just depend on the temperature as it is an ideal gas, therefore, since the process es isothermic:

$\Delta h=Cp\Delta T=0$

Best regards.

At 35°C, K = 1.6 × 10^-5 for the reaction

TEA [102]

Answer:

a) [NOCl] = 0.968 M

[NO] = 0.032M

[Cl²] = 0.016M

b) [NOCl] = 1.992M

[NO] = 0.008 M

[Cl2] = 1.004 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 35°C = 308K

K = 1.6 × 10^-5

Step 2: The reaction

2 NOCl(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g)

For 2 moles NOCl we'll have 2 moles NO and 1 mol Cl2

Step 3

a. 2.0 mol pure NOCl in a 2.0 L flask

Concentration at the start:

Concentration = mol / volume

[NOCl] = mol / volume

[NOCl] = 2.0 / 2.0 L

[NOCl] = 1.0 M

[NO] = 0 M

[Cl] = 0M

Concentration at the equillibrium

[NOCl] = 1.0M - 2x

[NO] = 2x

[Cl2]= x

K = [Cl2][NO]² / [NOCl]² = 1.6*10^-5

1.6*10^-5 = ((2x)² * x) / (1.0-2x)²

x = 0.016

[NOCl] = 1.0 - 2*0.016 = 0.968 M

[NO] = 2*0.016 = 0.032M

[Cl²] = 0.016M

b. 2.0 mol NOCl and 1.0 mol Cl2 in a 1.0 L flask

Concentration at the equillibrium

[NOCl] = 2.0 mol / 1.0 L = 2.0 M

[NO] = 0 M

[Cl2]= 1.0 mol / 1.0 L = 1.0 M

Concentration at the equillibrium

[NOCl] = 2.0M - 2x

[NO] = 2x

[Cl2]= 1.0 + x

K = [Cl2][NO]² / [NOCl]² = 1.6*10^-5

1.6 *10^-5 = (2x)²*(1.0+x) / ((2.0-2x)²)

1.6 *10^-5= (2x)² * 1 )/2.0²

1.6 *10^-5= 4x² / 4 = x²

x = $\sqrt{1.6 *10^-5}$ = 4.0*10^-3

[NOCl] = 2.0 - 2*0.004 = 1.992M

[NO] = 2*0.004 = 0.008 M

[Cl2] = 1+ 0.004M = 1.004 M
