Answer:

Before we get into the first law of thermodynamics we need to understand the relation between heat and work and the concept of internal energy. Just like mass, energy is always conserved i.e. it can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another. Internal energy is a thermodynamic property of the system that refers to the energy associated with the molecules of the system which includes kinetic energy and potential energy.

Whenever a system goes through any change due to interaction of heat, work and internal energy, it is followed by numerous energy transfer and conversions. However, during these transfers, there is no net change in the total energy.

Similarly, if we look at the first law of thermodynamics it affirms that heat is a form of energy. What it means is that the thermodynamic processes are governed by the principle of conservation of energy. The first law of thermodynamics is also sometimes referred to as the Law of Conservation of Energy

What data should be plotted to show that experimental concentration data fits a first-order reaction? A) 1/[reactant] vs. time B

natita [175]

Answer:

C) In[reactant] vs. time

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law equation is:

$A = A_{0}e^{-kt}$

where A(0) = initial concentration of the reactant

A = concentration after time 't'

k = rate constant

Taking ln on both sides gives:

$ln[A] = ln[A]_{0}-kt$

Therefore a plot of ln[A] vs t should give a straight line with a slope = -k

Hence, ln[reactant] vs time should be plotted for a first order reaction.

Basic molecules contain more ...

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Option C. hydroxide ions (OH-).

Explanation:

A base is a substance which dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH-) as the only negative ion. It therefore means that a base contains more hydroxide ions (OH-).

Which process was responsible for producing gases in the early atmosphere?

andre [41]

Answer: The early atmosphere

Explanation: Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence. The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen.
