Confusion : ( the oxidation of copper(i) oxide, cu2o(s), to copper(ii) oxide, cuo(s), is an exothermic process,
2 cu2o + o2 --> 4cuo the change in enthalpy upon reaction of 75.30 g of cu2o(s) is -76.83 kj. calculate the work, w, and energy change, δurxn, when 75.30 g of cu2o(s) is oxidized at a constant pressure of 1.00 bar and a constant temperature of 25°
c.
here's my line of reasoning.. but it's been marked wrong. you in advance.
converting 75.3g of cu2o to moles of cuo, i got 1.0525mol cuo
w=-delta(n)rt = -(1.0525mol)(8.3144j/molk)(25+273.1 5)= -2.609 kj
energy change = -2.609kj+ - 76.83kj = -79.439kj

the atomic number of carbon is six, which means that a carbon atom has six protons. carbon has three naturally occurring isotopes: carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. which of these statements are true about carbon and its isotopes? select all that appl

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
