A mole of X reacts at a constant pressure of 43.0 atm via the reaction X(g)+4Y(g)→2Z(g), ΔH∘=−75.0 kJ Before the reaction, the volume of the gaseous mixture was 5.00 L. After the reaction, the volume was 2.00 L. Calculate the value of the total energy change, ΔE, in kilojoules.

The total energy change, ΔE, in kilojoules = -61.93 kJ

Explanation:

Relationship between ΔH, ΔE and work done is given by first law of thermodynamics.

ΔE = ΔH - PΔV

Where,

ΔH = Change in enthalpy

ΔE = Change in internal energy

PΔV = Work done

Given that,

ΔH = -75.0 kJ = -75000 J

P = 43.0 atm

ΔV = Final volume - initial volume

    = (2.00 - 5.00) = -3.00 L

PΔV = 43 × (-3.00) = -129 L atm

1 L atm = 101.325 J

-129 L atm = 129 × 101.325 = -13071 J

So ,

ΔE = ΔH - PΔV

     = (-75000 J) - ( -13071 J)

     =  -75000 J + 13071 J

     = -61929 J

Total energy change, ΔE = -61.929 kJ

in the analysis of systems that involve fluid flow, we frequently encounter the combination of properties u and pv.

the objects have the same charge is correct.
