Agas absorbs 10j of heat and is simulataneously comptessed by a constant external pressure of 0.5atm from 4l to2l in volume. what is change in the internal energya.101j b.111j c.2j d. none of the above

B. 111 J

Explanation:

The change in internal energy is the sum of the heat absorbed and the work done on the system:

ΔU = Q + W

At constant pressure, work is:

W = P ΔV

Given:

P = 0.5 atm = 50662.5 Pa

ΔV = 4 L − 2L = 2 L = 0.002 m³

Plugging in:

W = (50662.5 Pa) (0.002 m³)

W = 101.325 J

Therefore:

ΔU = 10 J + 101.325 J

ΔU = 111.325 J

Rounded to three significant figures, the change in internal energy is 111 J.

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.
