- Consider the following cyclic process carried out in two steps on a gas: Step 1: 45 J of heat is added to the gas, and 10. J of expansion work is performed. Step 2: 60. J of heat is removed from the gas as the gas is compressed back to the initial state. Calculate the work for the gas compression in Step 2.arrow_forward9.12 PV-work occurs when volume changes and pressure remains constant. If volume is held constant, can PV-work be done?

Coal is a complex material, but for simplicity we may consider it to be a form of carbon. The energy that can be derived from a fuel is sometimes compared with the enthalpy of the combustion reaction: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction at 25C. Actually, only a fraction of the heat from this reaction is available to produce electric energy. In electric generating plants, this reaction is used to generate heat for a steam engine, which turns the generator. Basically the steam engine is a type of heat engine in which steam enters the engine at high temperature (Th), work is done, and the steam then exits at a lower temperature (Tl). The maximum fraction, f, of heat available to produce useful energy depends on the difference between these temperatures (expressed in kelvins), f = (Th Tl)/Th. What is the maximum heat energy available for useful work from the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g)? (Assume the value of H calculated at 25C for the heat obtained in the generator.) It is possible to consider more efficient ways to obtain useful energy from a fuel. For example, methane can be burned in a fuel cell to generate electricity directly. The maximum useful energy obtained in these cases is the maximum work, which equals the free-energy change. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g). Compare this value with the maximum obtained with the heat engine described here.arrow_forward

One general reaction that might be used in a battery is M(s)12X2(s/l/g)MX(crystal) Where M is an alkali metal and X2 is a halogen. Using Appendix 2, construct a table that gives the maximum amount of work that a battery can provide if it uses different alkali metals and halogens. Do you know if any of these types of batteries are actually produced?arrow_forward9.11 Analyze the units of the quantity (pressurevolume) and show that they are energy units, consistent with the idea of PV-work.arrow_forward
