The energy produced during combustion of gasoline in a car engine is converted as kinetic energy.

Explanation

The conservation of energy clearly states that "energy can neither be created nor be destroyed , it can only be transferred from one form to another form".

The combustion of gasoline in a car engine tends to generate heat energy, this heat energy will be transferred as kinetic energy which will lead to motion of cars.

This the energy of the universe will be conserved as the energy created by the combustion is used as kinetic energy for movement of cars.

In a car driven by a gasoline combustion engine, heat energy is quickly converted into kinetic energy which results in the motion of the car.

According to the law of the conservation of energy, energy cannot be destroyed or created. It is can only be transformed from one form to another.

For the reaction A (g) → 2 B (g), K = 14.7 at 298 K. What is the value of Q for this reaction at 298 K when ∆G = -20.5 kJ/mol?
harina [27]

Answer:

Q= 245 =2.5 * 10^2

Explanation:

ΔG = ΔGº + RTLnQ, so also ΔGº= - RTLnK

R= 8,314 J/molK, T=298K

ΔGº= - RTLnK = - 6659.3 J/mol = - 6.7 KJ/mol

ΔG = ΔGº + RTLnQ → -20.5KJ/mol = - 6.7 KJ/mol + 2.5KJ/mol* LnQ

→ 5.5 = LnQ → Q= 245 =2.5 * 10^2

Use enthalpies of formation given in appendix c to calculate δh for the reaction br2(g)→2br(g), and use this value to estimate t
Contact [7]

Given reaction represents dissociation of bromine gas to form bromine atoms

Br2(g) ↔ 2Br(g)

The enthalpy of the above reaction is given as:

ΔH = ∑n(products)ΔH^{0}f(products) - ∑n(reactants)ΔH^{0}f(reactants)

where n = number of moles

ΔH^{0}f= enthalpy of formation

ΔH = [2*ΔH(Br(g)) - ΔH(Br2(g))] = 2*111.9 - 30.9 = 192.9 kJ/mol

Thus, enthalpy of dissociation is the bond energy of Br-Br = 192.9 kJ/mol

Use the following half-reactions to design a voltaic cell: Sn4+(aq) + 2 e− → Sn2+(aq) Eo = 0.15 V Ag+(aq) + e−→ Ag(s) Eo = 0.80
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

E° = 0.65 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reductions and their respective standard reduction potentials.

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Sn²⁺(aq) E°red = 0.15 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

The reaction with the highest reduction potential will occur as a reduction while the other will occur as an oxidation. The corresponding half-reactions are:

Reduction (cathode): Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

Oxidation (anode): Sn²⁺(aq) → Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = 0.15 V

The overall cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 0.80 V - 0.15 V = 0.65 V

Be sure to answer all parts. Draw the structure of a compound of molecular formula C4H8O that has a signal in its 13C NMR spectr
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The possible structures are ketone and aldehyde.

Explanation:

Number of double bonds of the given compound is calculated using the below formula.

N_{db}=N_{c}+1-\frac{N_{H}+N_{Br}-N_{N}}{2}

N_{db}=Number of double bonds

N_{c} = Number of carbon atoms

N_{H} = Number of hydrogen atoms

N_{N} = Number of nitrogen atoms

The number of double bonds in the given formula - C_{4}H_{8}O

N_{db}= 4+1-\frac{8+0-0}{2}=1

The number of double bonds in the compound is one.

Therefore, probable structures is as follows.

(In attachment)

The structures I and III are ruled out from the probable structures because the signal in 13C-NMR appears at greater than 160 ppm.

alkene compounds I and II shows signal less than 140 ppm.

Hence, the probable structures III and IV are given as follows.

The carbonyl of structure I appear at 202 and ketone group of IV appears at 208 in 13C, which are greater than 160.

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound C_{4}H_{8}O having possible structure in which the signal appears at greater than 160 ppm are shown aw follows.

At a given temperature, you have a mixture of benzene (vapor pressure of pure benzene = 745 torr) and toluene (vapor pressure of
swat32
Ideal solutions obey Raoult's law, which states that:

P_i = x_i*(P_pure)_i

where
P_i is the partial pressure of component i above a solution
x_i is the mole fraction of component i in the solution
(P_pure)_i is the vapor pressure of pure component i

In this case,

P_benzene = 0.59 * 745 torr = 439.6 torr
P_toluene = (1-0.59) * 290 torr = 118.9 torr

The total vapor pressure above the solution is the sum of the vapor pressures of the individual components:

P_total = (439.6 + 118.9) torr = 558.5 torr

Assuming the gas phase also behaves ideally, the partial pressure of each gas in the vapor phase is proportional to its molar concentration, so the mole fraction of toluene in the vapor phase is:

118.9 torr/558.5 torr = 0.213
