9.11 Analyze the units of the quantity (pressurevolume) and show that they are energy units, consistent with the idea of PV-work.
One statement of the second law of thermodynamics is that heat cannot be turned completely into work. Another is that the entropy of the universe always increases. How are these two statements related?
9.103 One reason why the energy density of a fuel is important is that to move a vehicle one must also move its unburned fuel. Octane is a major component of gasoline. It burns according to the reaction 2C8H18(l)+25O2(g)16CO2(g)+18H2O(g) H = 1.10104 kJ Starting from this thermochemical equation, describe how you would determine the energy density, in kJ/g, for octane. Be sure to indicate what you would need to calculate or look up to complete this problem.
