Question 1: In one bottle you have a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen. In a second one is water. Do they have the same energy? How do you know which one is a fuel and which is not?
Question 2: you have two systems: 1) solid gold and water 2) solid sodium and waterWhich one can spontaneously release energy and why?
Homework Answers
Answer 1:
- No, both will have different energies. The mixture of oxygen and hydrogen will have a higher energy than that of water.
- Mixture of oxygen and hydrogen has a tendency to react and form water if initially an adequate amount of energy is provided.
- This reaction is exothermic and releases a large amount of heat energy.
- Therefore, this mixture is used as a fuel.
- On the other hand, water is very stable and there will be no reaction taking place.
- Therefore, water will not act as a fuel.
Anwer 2:
- Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy.
- This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy.
- Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.

As in the previous question, suppose you have made 1L worth of a mixture of methanol and water, by mixing 3 parts of methanol and 2 parts of water by mass. Assume for simplicity that the volume of the mixture is exactly equal to the sum of the volumes of the ingredients (which is not true, by the way). What is the mass concentration of oxygen in the mixture? (Note that the vast majority of oxygen is bound to other...

A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that reacts hydrogen with oxygen from the air to produce water and DC electricity. A proposed application is replacement of the gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine in an automobile with a 100 kW fuel cell. You are on a summer internship with a gas supplier planning to transport hydrogen to service stations for the use in cars powered by fuel cells. The hydrogen is to be transported in tube trailers, each of which has...

QUESTION 8 How does the internal energy of the ice and water mixture change if the temperature does not rise while the ice is melting? It decreases, because you need to use energy to make a freezer run, but ice melts spontaneously. No enough information to determine. It increases, because it takes more energy for water molecules to be disordered than to be ordered. It remains the same, because both are at the same temperature. QUESTION 9 Suppose you start...

Heliox is a helium-oxygen mixture that may be used in scuba tanks for divers working at great depths. It is also used medically as a breathing treatment. A 7.25 L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 2206 psi. A second 7.25 L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 586.5 psi. The two gases are mixed in a 7.25 L tank. If the temperature remains the same throughout the process, what is the pressure of the gas mixture...
