- Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, is a common standard used in bomb calorimeters, which maintain a constant volume. If 1.20 g of benzoic acid gives off 31, 723 J of energy when burned in the presence of excess oxygen and in a water bath having a temperature of 24.6 C, calculate q, w, H, and U for the reaction.arrow_forwardWhen 1.000 g of ethylene glycol, C2H6O2, is burned at 25C and 1.00 atmosphere pressure, H2O(l) and CO2(g) are formed with the evolution of 19.18 kJ of heat. a Calculate the molar enthalpy of formation of ethylene glycol. (It will be necessary to use data from Appendix C.) b Gf of ethylene glycol is 322.5 kJ/mol. What is G for the combustion of 1 mol ethylene glycol? c What is S for the combustion of 1 mol ethylene glycol?arrow_forwardWhat are the two ways that a final chemical state of a system can be more probable than its initial state?arrow_forward
- The Dieterici equation of state for one mole of gas is p=RTe-aVRTV-b Where a and b are constants determined experimentally. For NH3g, a = 10.91 atm. L2 and b = 0.0401 L. Plot the pressure of the gas as the volume of 1.00 mol of NH3g expands from 22.4 L to 50.0 L at 273 K, and numerically determine the work done by the gas by measuring the area under the curve.arrow_forwardA 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)arrow_forwardCalculatethe work performed by a person whoexertsa force of 30 NN = newtonstomove abox 30metersif the force were a exactly parallel to the directionofmovement, and b45to thedirection of movement. Do the relative magnitudesmakesense?arrow_forward
- Consider 2.00 moles of an ideal gas that are taken from state A (PA = 2.00 atm, vA = 10.0 L) to state B (PB = 1.00 attn, VB = 30.0 L) by two different pathways: These pathways are summarized on the following graph of P versus V: Calculate the work (in units of J) associated with the two pathways. Is work a state function? Explain.arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of vaporization for water is 40.65 kJ mol-1. As a design engineer for a project in a desert climate, you are exploring the option of using evaporative cooling. (a) If the air has an average volumetric heat capacity of 0.00130 J cm-3 K-1, what is the minimum mass of water that would need to evaporate in order to cool a 5 m? 5 m room with a 3 m ceiling by 5°F using this method? (b) Is this a spontaneous or nonspontaneous process?arrow_forwardExplain inyour own words why work done by the system is defined as the negative of pV, not positive pV.arrow_forward
- When 1.000 g of gaseous butane, C4H10, is burned at 25C and 1.00 atm pressure, H2O(l) and CO2(g) are formed with the evolution of 49.50 kJ of heat. a Calculate the molar enthalpy of formation of butane. (Use enthalpy of formation data for H2O and CO2.) b Gf of butane is 17.2 kJ/mol. What is G for the combustion of 1 mol butane? c From a and b, calculate S for the combustion of 1 mol butane.arrow_forwardWould the amount of heat absorbed by the dissolution in Example 5.6 appear greater, lesser, or remain the same if the heat capacity of the calorimeter were taken into account? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardYou did an experiment in which you found that 59.8 J was required to raise the temperature of 25.0 g of ethylene glycol (a compound used as antifreeze in automobile engines) by 1.00 K. Calculate the specific heat capacity of ethylene glycol from these data.arrow_forward
