Arigid stainless steel chamber contains 140 torr of methane, ch4, and excess oxygen, o2, at 160.0 °c. a spark is ignited inside the chamber, completely combusting the methane. what is the change in total pressure within the chamber following the reaction? assume a constant temperature throughout the process.

The variation of pressure is 0.

Explanation:

Methane combustion reaction:

The pressure change in gaseous state reactions at constant T y V is proportional to the change in the number of mol of gas in total.

As can be seen in the reaction above we have 3 moles of gas in the reactants and 3 in the products, so the variation of moles is 0. Therefore, the variation of pressure is also 0.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
