A closed, frictionless piston-cylinder contains a gas mixture with the following composition on a mass basis: 40% carbon dioxide, 25% oxygen, 35% neon The cylinder contains 0.8 kg of the mixture at 260 oC and 450 kPa. Determine the magnitude and direction of work when the mixture undergoes an isobaric process to 95 oC.

W=-37.6kJ, therefore, work is done on the system.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the first step is to compute the moles of each gas present in the given mixture, by using the total mixture weight the mass compositions and their molar masses:

$n_{CO_2}=0.8kg*0.4*\frac{1kmolCO_2}{44kgCO_2}= 0.00727kmolCO_2\\\\n_{O_2}=0.8kg*0.25*\frac{1kmolO_2}{32kgO_2}=0.00625kmolO_2\\ \\n_{Ne}=0.8kg*0.35*\frac{1kmolNe}{20.2kgNe}=0.0139kmolNe$

Next, the total moles:

n_T=0.00727kmol+0.00625kmol+0.0139kmol=0.02742kmol

After that, since the process is isobaric, we can compute the work as:

W=P(V_2-V_1)

Therefore, we need to compute both the initial and final volumes which are at 260 °C and 95 °C respectively for the same moles and pressure (isobaric closed system)

$V_1=\frac{n_TRT_1}{P}= \frac{0.02742kmol*8.314\frac{kPa*m^3}{kmol\times K}*(260+273)K}{450kPa}=0.27m^3\\ \\V_2=\frac{n_TRT_2}{P}= \frac{0.02742kmol*8.314\frac{kPa*m^3}{kmol\times K}*(95+273)K}{450kPa}=0.19m^3$

Thereby, the magnitude and direction of work turn out:

$W=450kPa(0.19m^3-0.27m^3)\\\\W=-37.6kJ$

Thus, we conclude that since it is negative, work is done on the system (first law of thermodynamics).

Regards.

1.consider the following balanced equation and answer parts a through. show calculations for each part.

3 ag(s) + 4 hno3(aq) → 3 agno3(aq) + no(g) + 2 h2o(l)

a. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 3 moles of ag with excess hno3. if the number to the left of the compound represents the number of moles of the compound which are present, then 3 moles of ag react with 4 moles hno3 to produce 3 moles agno3 (aq).

so the answer to a would be 3 moles.

b. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.

i'm not sure how to plug in the grams of silver into an equation using moles to find how many moles are produced.

c. calculate the number of grams of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3

d. calculate the number of moles of no produced as a byproduct of the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.

e. calculate the number of grams of no produced as a byproduct starting with 108 grams of ag and excess hno3.
