The free energy of formation of nitric oxide, NO, at 1000 K (roughly the temperature in an automobile engine during ignition) is

about 78 kJ/mol. Calculate the equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction N2(g) + O2(g) 2NO(g) at this temperature.

<u>Answer:</u> The value of $K_p$ for the chemical equation is $8.341\times 10^{-5}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical equation:

$N_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO(g)$

To calculate the $K_p$ for given value of Gibbs free energy, we use the relation:

$\Delta G=-RT\ln K_p$

where,

$\Delta G$ = Gibbs free energy = 78 kJ/mol = 78000 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1kJ = 1000J)

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = 1000 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$78000J/mol=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 1000K\times \ln K_p\\\\Kp=8.341\times 10^{-5}$

Hence, the value of $K_p$ for the chemical equation is $8.341\times 10^{-5}$

Answer:

$P_H =2.86$

$c=1.4\times 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

first write the equilibrium equaion ,

$C_3H_6O_3$ ⇄ $C_3H_5O_3^{-} +H^{+}$

assuming degree of dissociation $\alpha$ =1/10;

and initial concentraion of $C_3H_6O_3$ =c;

At equlibrium ;

concentration of $C_3H_6O_3 = c-c\alpha$

$[C_3H_5O_3^{-} ]= c\alpha$

$[H^{+}] = c\alpha$

$K_a = \frac{c\alpha \times c\alpha}{c-c\alpha}$

$\alpha$ is very small so $1-\alpha$ can be neglected

and equation is;

$K_a = {c\alpha \times \alpha}$

$[H^{+}] = c\alpha$ = $\frac{K_a}{\alpha}$

$P_H =- log[H^{+} ]$

$P_H =-logK_a + log\alpha$

$K_a =1.38\times10^{-4}$

$\alpha = \frac{1}{10}$

$P_H= 3.86-1$

$P_H =2.86$

composiion ;

$c=\frac{1}{\alpha} \times [H^{+}]$

$[H^{+}] =antilog(-P_H)$

$[H^{+} ] =0.0014$

$c=0.0014\times \frac{1}{10}$

$c=1.4\times 10^{-4}$

In the chemical equation 3c2h4 how many atoms of carbon are represented

Scorpion4ik [409]

An example.
water is H2O

2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen

so the number to the right means how much of what is on the left.

so it looks like 2, because C2, but look at the 3 at the beginning. that means
3 (c2h4)

so 6 carbons, 12 hydrogen

the ratio of c2 to h4 doesn't change it's always 1:2.

but the 3 at the front is a different number relating to how much you have

Insoluble sulfide compounds are generally black in color. Which of the following combinations could yield a black precipitate? C

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Li₂S(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq)

2 K₂S(aq) + Sn(NO₃)₄(aq)

Explanation:

For these reactions, the products are:

1. Na₂S(aq) + 2 KCl(aq) → K₂S + 2 NaCl

2. Li₂S(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → PbS + 2 Li(NO₃)

3. Pb(ClO₃)₂(aq) + 2 NaNO₃(aq) → Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2 Na(ClO₃)

4. AgNO₃(aq) + KCl(aq) → AgCl + KNO₃

5. 2 K₂S(aq) + Sn(NO₃)₄(aq) → SnS₂ + 4 KNO₃

K₂S is a soluble sulfide that, in solid state, is white. As K has a low electronegativity, the relative polar bond K-S allows its dissolution in water.

PbS is a black and insoluble compound. As Pb electronegativity is higher than K electronegativity, The bond is less-polar and its dissolution will not be allowed.

For the third reaction, all nitrates are soluble and Na(ClO₃) is also a very soluble compound.

AgCl is an insoluble white compound.

As Sn electronegativity is high, the solubility of this compound is very low. Also, this compound is black!

Thus, combinations could yield a black precipitate are:

Li₂S(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq)

2 K₂S(aq) + Sn(NO₃)₄(aq)

I hope it helps!

An evaporation–crystallization process of the type described in Example 4.5-2 is used to obtain solid potassium sulfate from an

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

feed = 220.77 kg/s; maximum production rate of solid crystal = 416 kg/s; the rate of supplying fresh feed to obtain the production rate = 1.6

Explanation:

Material or mass balance can be used to estimate the mass flow rates of all the streams in the diagram shown in the attached file.

Overall balance: $M_{1} = 175 + 11M_{2}$

Water: $0.804M_{1} = 175 + 0.6M_{2}$

Using substitution method, we have:

$M_{1}$ = 220.77 kg/s

$M_{2}$ = 4.16 kg/s

The maximum production rate of solid crystal is $10M_{2}$ = 10*4.16 = 416 kg/s

Around evaporator:

$0.45M_{5} = 175$

$M_{5} = 175/0.45 = 389$ kg/s

Around the mixing point:

$M_{1} + M_{3} = M_{4} + M_{5}$

Solid crystal: $0.196M_{1} + 0.4M_{3} = M_{4}$

Using the last two equations, we can obtain:

$0.804M_{1} + 0.6M_{3} = M_{5}$

$0.6M_{3} = 389 - 0.804*220.77 = 389 - 177.5 = 211.5$

$M_{3} = 211.5/0.6 = 352.5$ kg/s

The rate of supplying fresh feed to obtain the production rate is:

$\frac{M_{3}}{M_{1}}$ = 352.5/220.77 = 1.6
