Answer:
C. effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a small opening into a larger volume
Explanation:
Effusion makes fluid/gas molecules move to the container with less pressure or larger volume. In diffusion, the movement should work two ways even though one side might receive more. But in effusion, the movement is rather one way.
This case shows how effusion work because its not the concentration that makes the balls moving to the bottom part of the container. No ball moving from bottom container to top either.
The equilibrium constant is 0.0022.
Explanation:
The values given in the problem is
ΔG° = 1.22 ×10⁵ J/mol
T = 2400 K.
R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
The Gibbs free energy should be minimum for a spontaneous reaction and equilibrium state of any reaction is spontaneous reaction. So on simplification, the thermodynamic properties of the equilibrium constant can be obtained as related to Gibbs free energy change at constant temperature.
The relation between Gibbs free energy change with equilibrium constant is ΔG° = -RT ln K
So, here K is the equilibrium constant. Now, substitute all the given values in the corresponding parameters of the above equation.
We get,



So, the equilibrium constant is 0.0022.
First, let us find the corresponding amount of moles H₂ assuming ideal gas behavior.
PV = nRT
Solving for n,
n = PV/RT
n = (6.46 atm)(0.579 L)/(0.0821 L-atm/mol-K)(45 + 273 K)
n = 0.143 mol H₂
The stoichiometric calculations is as follows (MW for XeF₆ = 245.28 g/mol)
Mass XeF₆ = (0.143 mol H₂)(1 mol XeF₆/3 mol H₂)(245.28 g/mol) = <em>11.69 g</em>
