Chapter 6: Problem 34

Calculate \(\Delta E\) for each of the following. a. \(q=-47 \mathrm{kJ}, w=+88 \mathrm{kJ}\) b. \(q=+82 \mathrm{kJ}, w=-47 \mathrm{kJ}\) c. \(q=+47 \mathrm{kJ}, w=0\) d. In which of these cases do the surroundings do work on the system?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The calculated values for \(\Delta E\) are: a. \(\Delta E = 41 \mathrm{kJ}\) b. \(\Delta E = 35 \mathrm{kJ}\) c. \(\Delta E = 47 \mathrm{kJ}\) The surroundings do work on the system in case a.

Step by step solution

01

Case a: \(q=-47 \mathrm{kJ}, w=+88 \mathrm{kJ}\)

Given \(q = -47 \mathrm{kJ}\) and \(w = 88 \mathrm{kJ}\), we can calculate \(\Delta E\) using the formula: \[\Delta E = q + w = -47 + 88\] Now solve for \(\Delta E\): \[\Delta E = 41 \mathrm{kJ}\]
02

Case b: \(q=+82 \mathrm{kJ}, w=-47 \mathrm{kJ}\)

Given \(q = 82 \mathrm{kJ}\) and \(w = -47 \mathrm{kJ}\), we can calculate \(\Delta E\) using the formula: \[\Delta E = q + w = 82 - 47\] Now solve for \(\Delta E\): \[\Delta E = 35 \mathrm{kJ}\]
03

Case c: \(q=+47 \mathrm{kJ}, w=0\)

Given \(q = 47 \mathrm{kJ}\) and \(w = 0\), we can calculate \(\Delta E\) using the formula: \[\Delta E = q + w = 47 + 0\] Now solve for \(\Delta E\): \[\Delta E = 47 \mathrm{kJ}\]
04

Identifying cases where surroundings do work on the system

To determine in which cases the surroundings do work on the system, we need to analyze the sign of the \(w\) values. If \(w\) is positive, that means the surroundings are doing work on the system, and if \(w\) is negative, the system is doing work on the surroundings. - Case a: \(w = +88 \mathrm{kJ}\), surroundings do work on the system. - Case b: \(w = -47 \mathrm{kJ}\), system does work on the surroundings. - Case c: \(w = 0\), no work is done. So, in case a, the surroundings do work on the system.

Explain why aluminum cans are good storage containers for soft drinks. Styrofoam cups can be used to keep coffee hot and cola cold. Why is this?

Hydrogen gives off \(120 . \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{g}\) of energy when burned in oxygen, and methane gives off \(50 . \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{g}\) under the same circumstances. If a mixture of 5.0 \(\mathrm{g}\) hydrogen and \(10 . \mathrm{g}\) methane is burned, and the heat released is transferred to 50.0 \(\mathrm{g}\) water at \(25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) what final temperature will be reached by the water?
