Question 2 Hydrocarbons store large amounts of energy in their molecules. This energy had to
come from somewhere - in this case, it came from the sun, which allowed plants to
synthesize high energy molecules which transformed over time into hydrocarbons.
Which principle does this illustrate?
a) Berzelius' Principle
b) Photosynthesis
c) The Law of Conservation of Energy
d) Scala Natura

2b2t

explanation:

2b2t

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
