Without working a problem, briefly describe why a gas will expand adiabatically (that is, a well insulated system into which heat cannot “flow”, though it will still work on the surroundings). Your answer should contain the concept of multiplicity. [8] > Seq type) easuuers - Quantitative Problems; 7. Apiston contains 0.256 mol of an ideal gas.

The chair and boat conformations of Cyclohexane are quite close in energy, though the “boat” form is higher, AU between the two being only 120 J/mol. You should assume that the boat and chair positions are the only two conformers available. ‘a. Calculate the ratio of the two forms at room temperature (you may use 300 K for a close approximation).

A system is divided into two equally sized halves by a semi-permeable membrane. The left-hand and right-hand side contains 2000 molecules each. Each half of the system is divided into 10° equal sized “slots” into which a single ‘molecule might fit, Only the right-hand side molecules can pass through the membrane. a.
