Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 9.1VP

Solution:

The internal energy of the gases trapped in the cylinder will increase because of the upward motion of the piston.

Explanation of Solution

During the compression stroke of a diesel engine, the upward motion of the piston squeezes the gases in the cylinder into a much smaller volume. In the process, the piston does work on the system (gas). Work done on a system is positive and, as a result, increases the internal energy according to the first law of thermodynamics.

Conclusion:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, work done on a system increases its internal energy.

We learned four factors (ARIO) for comparing the relative acidity of compounds. When two of these factors are in competition, the order of priority is the order in which these factors were covered ("atom" being the most important factor and "orbital" being the least important). However, we also mentioned that there are exceptions to this order of priority. Compare the two compounds and identify the exception. OH PK-4.75 SH PK-10.6 5. "Resonance" is more important than "atom" because the conjugate base of first compound is more stable than the second. "Atom" is more important than "resonance" because the conjugate base of first compound is more stable than the second. "Resonance" is more important than "atom" because the conjugate base of second compound is more stable than the first. "Atom" is more important than "resonance" because the conjugate base of second compound is more stable than the first.
