(a)
Interpretation:
The three ways by which internal energy can be increased of an open system has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The regions of interest in which the reaction are taking place are considered as the system whereas everything else is said to be surrounding. The system is said to be open system which can exchange both matter and the energy with the surroundings. The system is said to be closed system when it can exchange the energy with the surroundings but cannot exchange the matter.
(b)
Interpretation:
The method which is used to increase the internal energy of a closed system has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Same as part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The method which is used to increase the internal energy of an isolated system has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Same as part (a).

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- What are the two ways that a final chemical state of a system can be more probable than its initial state?arrow_forwardWould the amount of heat absorbed by the dissolution in Example 5.6 appear greater, lesser, or remain the same if the heat capacity of the calorimeter were taken into account? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)arrow_forward
- Calculatethe 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. Do the relative magnitudesmakesense?arrow_forwardNitrogen gas (2.75 L) is confined in a cylinder under constant atmospheric pressure (1.01 105 pascals). The volume of gas decreases to 2.10 L when 485 J of energy is transferred as heat to the surroundings. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?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_forward
- 9.11 Analyze the units of the quantity (pressurevolume) and show that they are energy units, consistent with the idea of PV-work.arrow_forwardYou did an experiment in which you found that 59.8 J was required to raise the temperature of 25.0 g of ethylene glycol (a compound used as antifreeze in automobile engines) by 1.00 K. Calculate the specific heat capacity of ethylene glycol from these data.arrow_forwardWhen 1.000 g of ethylene glycol, C2H6O2, is burned at 25C and 1.00 atmosphere pressure, H2O(l) and CO2(g) are formed with the evolution of 19.18 kJ of heat. a Calculate the molar enthalpy of formation of ethylene glycol. (It will be necessary to use data from Appendix C.) b Gf of ethylene glycol is 322.5 kJ/mol. What is G for the combustion of 1 mol ethylene glycol? c What is S for the combustion of 1 mol ethylene glycol?arrow_forward
