Consider two fixed-volume systems A and B, in thermal equilibrium and that can exchange two different types of particles (say type 1 and type 2). Given that equilibrium is a state of highest multiplicity, show that in order for A and B to be in equilibrium, then systems A and B must have equal chemical potential in each type of particles that they can exchange.
Hypergolic propellants are fuels and oxidizers which ignite spontaneously on contact with each other.requiring no ignition source, hypergolics are ideal for spacecraft maneuvering systems as they provide an easy start and restart capability. Also, hypergolics do not pose the storage problems of cryogenic propellants (e.g., liquid oxygen and hydrogen) as they remain liquid at normal temperatures. This technology was used on the Apollo 11 Mission 40+ years ago. As part of the testing for a new thruster design, amounts of unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine, or UDMH [(CH3)2N-NH2; MW=60.1 g/mol] were reacted with dinitrogen tetroxide [N2O4; MW=92.1 g/mol]. The balanced equation for this reaction is shown below: (CH3)2NNH2(l) + 2 N2O4(g) → 3 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g) + 2 CO2(g) For one test, 721.2 grams of UDMH was completely consumed. How much dinitrogen tetroxide [in grams] was needed?
A 0.2m3 rigid tank initially contains pure oxygen gas (02) at 20°C and 1000 kPa. The tank containing the oxygen is put on a scale to measure its mass. The initial mass is recorded as 110.4 kg. Nitrogen gas is injected isothermally into the tank until the scale reads 121.0 kg. The molar mass of oxygen is 32kg/kmol and the molar mass of nitrogen is 28 kg/kmol. Assuming that the gases behave ideally, answer the following questions: a) What is the mass of the empty tank? b) What is the composition of the final mixture on a mole basis? c) What is the final pressure of the tank? d) The critical temperature and pressure of oxygen are 154.6K and 49.8atm. Based on these properties, comment on the appropriateness of using the ideal gas law in part a)
A mixture of gaseous reactants is put in to a cylinder, where a chemical reaction turns them in to gaseous products. The cylinder has a piston that moves in or out as necessary to keep a constant pressure on the mixture of 1 atm. The cylinder is also submerged in a large insulated water bath. From previous experiments, this chemical reaction is known to absorb 243. kJ of energy. The temperature of the water bath is monitored, and it is determined from this data that 109.kJ of heat flows out of the system during the reaction. A.) is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? B.) Does the temperature of the water go up or down? C.) does the piston move in, out, or neither? D.) does the gas mixture do work, Or is work done on it? E.) how much work is done on (or by) the gas mixture?
Hydrogen gas (H2) at 25°C, 1 atm enters an insulated reactor operating at steady state and reacts with 250% excess oxygen entering at 227°C, 1 atm. The products of combustion exit at 1 atm. Determine the temperature of the products, in K, if combustion is complete.
