Explanation:

A reaction in which energy is released in the form of heat is known as exothermic reaction.

General reaction equation for exothermic reaction is as follows.

$Reactants \rightarrow Products + Energy$

For example, lightening a candle is an exothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that in an exothermic reaction, energy may be released to the surroundings in the form of heat.

The constant volume heat capacity of a gas can be measured by observing the decrease in temperature when it expands adiabaticall

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The value is $C_p = 42. 8 J/K\cdot mol$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

$\gamma = \frac{C_p }{C_v}$

The initial volume of the fluorocarbon gas is $V_1 = V$

The final volume of the fluorocarbon gas is $V_2 = 2V$

The initial temperature of the fluorocarbon gas is $T_1 = 298.15 K$

The final temperature of the fluorocarbon gas is $T_2 = 248.44 K$

The initial pressure is $P_1 = 202.94\ kPa$

The final pressure is $P_2 = 81.840\ kPa$

Generally the equation for adiabatically reversible expansion is mathematically represented as

$T_2 = T_1 * [ \frac{V_1}{V_2} ]^{\frac{R}{C_v} }$

Here R is the ideal gas constant with the value

$R = 8.314\ J/K \cdot mol$

$248.44 = 298.15 * [ \frac{V}{2V} ]^{\frac{8.314}{C_v} }$

=> $C_v = 31.54 J/K\cdot mol$

Generally adiabatic reversible expansion can also be mathematically expressed as

$P_2 V_2^{\gamma} = P_1 V_1^{\gamma}$

=> $[ 81.840 *10^3] [2V]^{\gamma} = [202.94 *10^3] V^{\gamma}$

=> $2^{\gamma} = 2.56$

=> $\gamma = 1.356$

$\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} \equiv 1.356 = \frac{C_p}{31.54}$

=> $C_p = 42. 8 J/K\cdot mol$

How can you minimize a collision summary

ElenaW [278]

One of the ways to minimize a collision is to slow down: When you can't find an escape and you're definitely going to collide with something, you should slow your vehicle down as much as possible.

Hope this helps ^^

A 50.0 mL sample of a 1.00 M solution of CuSO4 is mixed with 50.0 mL of 2.00 M KOH in a calorimeter. The temperature of both sol

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of 1M CusO4 = 50.0 mL = 0.05 L

Volume of 2M KOH = 50.0 mL = 0.05 L

Temperature before mixing= 17.8 °C

Temperature after mixing = 32.4 °C

The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 12.1 J/K

Step 2: The balanced equation

CuSO4(aq)+ 2KOH(aq) →Cu(OH)2(s) + K2SO4(aq)

Step 3: Calculate mass of the solution

Suppose the density of the solution is 1 g/mL

Total volume = 100 mL

Mass of the solution = density * volume

Mass of the solution = 1g/mL * 100 mL = 100 grams

Step 4:

Q = m*c*ΔT

with m = the mass of the solution = 100 grams

with c= the heat capacity of the solution = 4.184 J/g°C

with ΔT = 32.4 - 17. 8 = 14.6 °C

Q = 6108.64 J

Step 5: Calculate the energy of the calorimeter

Q = c*ΔT

Q = 12.1 J/K * 14.6

Q = 176.66 J

Step 6: Calculate total heat

Qtotal = 6108.64 + 176.66 = 6285.3 J = 6.29 kJ (negative because it's exothermic)

Step 7: Calculate moles

Moles CuSO4 = 0.05 L * 1M = 0.05 moles

Moles KOH = 0.05 L * 2M = 0.10 moles

ΔH = -6.29 kJ / 0.05 moles = -125.8 kJ/mol
