9.72 Although it can be a nuisance when a laptop computer freezes up and needs to be rebooted, we accept that as somewhat inevitable. But clearly the need to occasionally reboot the control system for the power grid would not be acceptable. Use the web to research ways that engineers ensure the reliability of crucial systems like the control infrastructure of the grid, and write a paragraph summarizing the main strategies employed.
Consider the following reaction: N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) Calculate G for this reaction under the following conditions (assume an uncertainty of 1 in all quantities): a. T=298K,PN2=PH2=200atm,PNH3=50atm b. T=298K,PN2=200atm,PH2=600atm,PNH3=200atm
In the 1880s, Frederick Trouton noted that the enthalpy of vaporization of 1 mol pure liquid is approximately 88 times the boiling point, Tb, of the liquid on the Kelvin scale. This relationship is called Troutons rule and is represented by the thermochemical equation liquid gas H = 88 Tb, joules Combined with an empirical formula from chemical analysis, Troutons rule can be used to find the molecular formula of a compound, as illustrated here. A compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen is 85.6% C and 14.4% H. Its enthalpy of vaporization is 389 J/g, and it boils at a temperature of 322 K. (a) What is the empirical formula of this compound? (b) Use Troutons rule to calculate the approximate enthalpy or vaporization or one mole of the compound. Combine the enthalpy of vaporization per mole with that same quantity per gram to obtain an approximate molar mass of the compound. (c) Use the results of parts (a) and (b) to find the molecular formula of this compound. Remember that the molecular mass must be exactly a whole-number multiple of the empirical formula mass, so considerable rounding may be needed.
9.104 An engineer is using sodium metal as a cooling agent in a design because it has useful thermal properties. Looting up the heat capacity, the engineer finds a value of 28.2 J mol-l °C-l. Carelessly, he wrote this number down without units. As a result, it was later taken as specific heat. (a) What would he the difference between these two values? (b) Would the engineer overestimate the ability of sodium to remove heat from the system or underestimate it because of this error? Be sure to explain your reasoning.
Given the thermochemical expression CaO(s) + 3C(s) CaC2(s) + CO(g) rH = 464.8 kJ/mol calculate the quantity of energy transferred when (a) 34.8 mol CO(g) is formed by this reaction. (b) A metric ton (1000 kg) of CaC2(s) is manufactured. (c) 0.432 mol carbon reacts with CaO(s).
Which of the following processes will lead to a decrease in the internal energy of a system? (1) Energy is transferred as heat to the system; (2) energy is transferred as heat from the system; (3) energy is transferred as work done on the system; or (4) energy is transferred as work done by the system. (a) 1 and 3 (b) 2 and 4 (c) 1 and 4 (d) 2and3
What is the difference between G, G, and G 298 for a chemical Change?
The white pigment TiO2 is prepared by the reaction of titanium tetrachioride, TiCl4, with water vapor in the gas phase: TiCl4(g)+2H2O(g)TiO2(s)+4HCl(g). How much heat is evolved in the production of exactly 1 mole of TiO2(s) under standard state conditions?
In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?
Ethylene, C2H2, a byproduct from the fractional distillation of petroleum, is fourth among the 50 chemical compounds produced commercially in the largest quantities. About 80% of synthetic ethanol is manufactured from ethylene by its reaction with water in the presence of a suitable catalyst. C2H2(g)+H2O(g)C2H5OH(l) Using the data in the table in Appendix G, calculate H for the reaction.
Consider the following reaction in a vessel with a movable piston. R(g)+T(g)X(g)As the reaction takes place, the piston loses 1072 J of heat. The piston moves down and the surroundings do 549 J of work on the system. What is E?
How many kJ are equal to 3.27 L atm of work?
