OWLV2 FOR MOORE/STANITSKI'S CHEMISTRY:
- 2. In which of the following reactions is there a significant transfer of energy as work from the system to the surroundings? This occurs if there is a change in the number of moles of gases. C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2g) + 2 H2O(g) 2 C(s) + O2(g) → 2 CO(g) 2 Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2 MgO(s)arrow_forwardThe formation of aluminum oxide from its elements is highly exothermic. If 2.70 g Al metal is burned in pure O2 to give A12O3, calculate how much thermal energy is evolved in the process (at constant pressure).arrow_forwardExplain inyour own words why work done by the system is defined as the negative of pV, not positive pV.arrow_forward

- For the reaction BaCO3(s) BaO(s) + CO2(g), rG = +219.7 kJ/mol-rxn. Using this value and other data available in Appendix L, calculate the value of fG for BaCO3(s).arrow_forwardA pot of cold water is heated on a stove, and when the water boils, a fresh egg is placed in the water to cook. Describe the events that are occurring in terms of the zeroth law of thermodynamics.arrow_forwardCalculatethe work performed by a person whoexertsa force of 30 NN = newtonstomove abox 30metersif the force were a exactly parallel to the directionofmovement, and b45to thedirection of movement.
