Enthalpy of combustion of carbon to CO2is –393.5 kJ mol−1. Calculate the heat released upon formation of 35.2 g of CO2from carbon and dioxygen gas.
when 1 mole of CO2 is produced energy released is –393.5 kJ mol−1 Moles of CO2 given =35.2/44 =0.8 moles So energy released = 0.8 x393.5 KJ/mol = 315 KJ/mol
The volume of gas is reduced to half from its original volume. The specific heat will
Specific heat will remain constant.
A spherical constant temperature heat source of radius r1 is at the center of a uniform solid sphere of radius r2. The rate at which heat is transferred through the surface of the sphere is proportional to
The rate H at which heat is transferred through the slab is,
(a) directly proportional to the area (A) available.
(b) inversely proportional to the thickness of the slab Δx.
(c) directly proportional to the temperature difference ΔT.
So, H = kA ΔT/ Δx
Where k is the proportionality constant and is called thermal conductivity of the material.
From above we know that the rate H at which heat is transferred through the slab is directly proportional to the area (A) available.
Area A of the solid sphere is defined as,
A = 4πr2
Here r is the radius of the sphere.
So, the area A1 of a uniform small solid sphere having radius r1 will be,
A1 = 4πr12
And, the area A2 of a uniform large solid sphere having radius r2 will be,
A2 = 4πr22
Thus the area A from which heat is transferred through the surface of the sphere will be the difference of area of uniform large solid sphere A2 and small solid sphere A1.
So, A = A2 - A1 = 4πr22 - 4πr12 = 4π (r22 - r12)
Since the rate H at which heat is transferred through the slab is directly proportional to the area (A) available, therefore the rate at which heat is transferred through the surface of the sphere is proportional to r22 - r12.
A cylinder confines 2.00 L gas under a pressure of 1.00 atm. The external pressure is also 1.00 atm. The gas is heated slowly, with the piston sliding freely outward to maintain the pressure of the gas close to 1.00 atm. Suppose the heating continues until a final volume of 3.50 L is reached. Calculate the work done on the gas.
Enthalpy is defined as
H =U+pV. H is enthalpy of reaction.
Entropy is a state function and measures
Entropy is a state function and it is measure of randomness of a system.
For a process from state 1 to state 2, heat transfer in a reversible process is given by
Qreversible = T∆S
Hence, Q = To(S2-S1)
During complete combustion of one mole of butane, 2658 kJ of heat is released. The thermochemical reaction for above change is ΔfU0 of formation of CH4 (g) at certain temperature is –393 kJ mol−1. The value of ΔfH0is
C4H10(g) + 13/2O2 → 4CO2(g) + 5H2O(l)
∆Ng = (ng)product - (ng)reactant
= 4-(13/2+1) = -7/2
or ∆Ng is negative.
∆H = ∆U + ∆NgRT
SInce ∆ng is negative therefore ∆H is less than ∆U.
Suppose a 10.00-kg mass drops through a height difference of 3.00 m, and the resulting work is used to turn a paddle in 200.0 g water, initially at 15.00∘C. The final water temperature is found to be 15.35∘C. Assuming that the work done is used entirely to increase the water temperature, calculate the conversion factor between joules and calories.

The molar heat capacity of a substance is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of one mole by one degree Celsius.
If change in Gibbs energy ΔG is negative (< 0)
ΔG < 0 means reaction is spontaneous. And ΔG >0 means reaction is non spontanenous.

In an adiabatic process, no transfer of heat takes place between system and surroundings. Choose the correct option for free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition from the following.

A thermodynamic state function is a physical quantity
State function is one which is only dependent on initial and final state of the system and is independent of the path by which that change has occurred.
Thermodynamics is not concerned about______.
Thermodynamics is not concerned about how and at what rate these energy transformations are carried out, but is based on initial and final states of a system undergoing the change. Laws of thermodynamics apply only when a system is in equilibrium or moves from one equilibrium state to another equilibrium state.
The pressure-volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression The work can also be calculated from the pV– plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed (a) reversibly or (b) irreversibly from volume Vi to Vf . choose the correct option.
w (reversible) < w (irreversible) (for compression process)
Suppose that 1.00 kJ of heat is transferred to 2.00 mol argon (at 298 K, 1 atm). What will the final temperature Tf be if the heat is transferred at constant volume?
since volume is constant so w=0 so q=ΔE=nCvΔT Cv=(3/2)R
Because argon is monoatomic, approximately ideal gas,
cv = 3/2 R = 12.47 J K-1 mol-1
At constant volume,
qv = n cv Δ T
1000J = (2.00 mol)(12.47 JK-1mol-1)ΔT
ΔT = 40.1 k Tf = 298 + 40.1 =338 K
An exothermic process
Exothermic process results in decrease in enthalpy of system because for exothermic reaction ΔH=-ve.
For the process to occur under adiabatic conditions, the correct condition is:
For adiabatic process Δq=0.
For an isolated system, ΔU = 0, what will be ΔS?
An isolated system is that system which can neither do work nor can take/give heat from or to the surrounding.
In this type of system,
dU=dQ=0,
since
dS=dQ/dt
dS=0
The entropy change can be calculated by using the expression When water freezes in a glass beaker, choose the correct statement amongst the following :
For freezing of process since process is spontaneous therefore if ΔS (system) decreases but ΔS (surroundings) increases.
