Solubility requires breaking of old bonds and making of new attractions with the solvent. If the old bonds are stronger than the new attractions with solvent, then that will be sparingly soluble.
Hello Adam!
A Very Good Question.
And, yes it is a bit difficult to visualise this fcc structure. Before understanding how I solved this, you are required to get the following file from which I give reference for further clarification. You will get visualisations here...
In 6.4, the value 10 is just the pressure. I think we should also take initial volume 2 lit.
I got another doubt. Whether the work done during compression is maximum under reversible conditions or in irreversible conditions?
ThanQ very much Mapes! Now I got the answer.
If you have time, could you please tell me whether the solution given to the problem 6.4 is correct or not? I think this is wrong. It should be then, 32.2 L-atm.
These problems are given in NCERT textbooks...
maximum work during reversible process?
I have seen maximum work is achievable when the process is carried out reversibly. Is it correct?
For example, if you look at the following problems,
1) Ten litres of an ideal gas at a pressure of 10 atm expands isothermally against a constant...
