Answer:
0.8726
Explanation:
We are to convert 1.85 x
to
First, let us convert the numerator from ft3 to m3
1 ft3 = 0.0283 m3
Hence,
1.85 x ft3 = 1.85 x
x 0.0283 m3
= 52.355 m3
Now, let us convert the denominator from minutes to seconds
1 min = 60 sec
Therefore;
1.85 x
= 52.355/60
= 0.8726
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants decreases by 338 kJ during a certain chemical reaction, which is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that 187 kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction. Calculate the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic ?
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Change in enthalpy () = -338 kJ (as it is a decrease)
Work done = 187 kJ,
Change in energy () = ?
Now, according to the first law of thermodynamics the formula is as follows.
Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
Also, we know that W =
so,
= -151 kJ
Thus, we can conclude that the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction is -151 kJ.
