Concept introduction:Thermodynamics is a study of energy transfers that can be done by either heat or work. The energy transferred through work involves force. When work is positive, the system gains energy,whereas, when work is negative, the system loses energy. Heat is not a state function, and therefore, change in enthalpy of reaction

- hydrogen peroxide can decompose in the presence of which of the following reaction: 2 H2O2 (l) ———> 2 H2O (l) + O2 (g) H = -196 kj Calculate the value of q when 10.0 g of H2O2 (l) decomposes at constant pressure. Masses of atoms: H(1.0 amu); O (16.0 amu). Show brief calculation steps.arrow_forward-An experimental design has been made about how high the methyl alcohol will rise at 500 mg proximity, as well as the images with the appropriate device. In this design, it was thought that when 5 mg of 2,3-Benzanthracene was burned in a suitable device, it increased 3.2 K. How long would it take the temperature to burn 470mg of methyl alcohol in the same world?arrow_forwardAt what points in the Chapman cycle do photochemical reactions take place?arrow_forward
- Silicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.arrow_forwardPolyethylene has a heat capacity of 2,3027 J g-1 °C-1. You need to decide if 1.0 ounce of polyethylene can be used to package a material that will be releasing heat when in use. Consumer safety specifications indicate that the maximum allowable temperature for the polyethylene is 45C. It can be assumed that the plastic is initially at room temperature. (a) What temperature will the polyethylene reach if the product generates 1500 J of heat and all of this energy is absorbed by the plastic package? (b) Is this a realistic estimate of the temperature that the polyethylene packaging would reach? Explain your answer. (c) What is the enthalpy change of the polyethylene? (d) Estimate the entropy change of the polyethylene. (You will need to assume that the temperature of the plastic is constant.)arrow_forwardDuring polymerization, the system usually becomes more ordered as monomers link together. Could an endothermic polymerization reaction ever occur spontaneously? Explain.arrow_forward
- Nitromethane, CH3NO2, can be used as a fuel. When the liquid is burned, the (unbalanced) reaction is mainly CH3NO2(l) + O2(g) CO2(g) + N2(g) + H2O(g) a. The standard enthalpy change of reaction (Hvan ) for the balanced reaction (with lowest whole-number coefficients) is 1288.5 kJ. Calculate Hf0 for nitromethane. b. A 15.0-L flask containing a sample of nitromethane is filled with O2 and the flask is heated to 100.C. At this temperature, and after the reaction is complete, the total pressure of all the gases inside the flask is 950. torr. If the mole fraction of nitrogen (nitrogen) is 0.134 after the reaction is complete, what mass of nitrogen was produced?arrow_forwardQuestion:In the process of photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy into chemical energy is facilitated by the pigment chlorophyll. However, certain environmental factors can affect the efficiency of this process. Consider a scenario where a particular plant species is exposed to high temperatures, resulting in decreased photosynthetic activity. Explain the underlying chemical mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon and propose potential strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of temperature on photosynthesis.arrow_forwardWhen solid ammonium nitrate dissolves in water, the solution becomes cold. This is the basis for an "instant ice pack". When 67.7 g of solid NH4NO3NH4NO3 dissolves in 93.1 g of water at 50.8 °C in acalorimeter, the temperature decreases to 33.0 °C.
