(a)
Interpretation:
Considering the given processes, which process is favoured by energy spread should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat. The law of conservation of energy says that theenergy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted from one type to another. It is also called the first law of
There are two driving forces in nature namely energy and matter spread. These driving forces are responsible for affecting the reaction to go to completion. Energy spread is the concentratedenergy which disperses widely. It is always for an exothermic reaction. Matter spread meansmolecules spread to occupy a large volume.

- A student is asked to calculate the amount of heat involved in changing 10.0 g of liquid bromine at room temperature (22.5C) to vapor at 59.0C.To do this, one must use Tables 8.1 and 8.2 for information on the specific heat, boiling point, and heat of vaporization of bromine. In addition, the following step-wise process must be followed. (a) Calculate H for: Br2(l,22.5C)Br2(l,59.0C) (b) Calculate H for: Br2(l,59.0C)Br2(g,59.0C) (c) Using Hess's law, calculate H for: Br2(l,22.5C)Br2(g,59.0C)arrow_forward9.102 A runner generates 418 kJ of energy per kilometer from the cellular oxidation of food. The runner's body must dissipate this heat or the body will overheat. Suppose that sweat evaporation is the only important cooling mechanism. If you estimate the enthalpy of evaporation of water as 44 kJ/mol and assume that sweat can he treated as water, describe how you would estimate the volume of sweat that would have to be evaporated if the runner runs a 10-km race.arrow_forward9.29 In which case is heat added to the system: (a) E=43J , w=40J ; or (b) E=31J , w=34J ?arrow_forward

- The distance between downtown San Francisco and downtown Oakland is 9 miles. However, a car driving between the two points travels 12.3miles. Of these distances, which one is analogous to a state function? Why?arrow_forwardIn 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.arrow_forwardOn complete combustion at constant pressure, a 1.00-L sample of a gaseous mixture at 0C and 1.00 atm (STP) evolves 75.65 kJ of heat.
