UNCONFORMITIES ARE THE RECORD OF MAJOR EPISODES OF UPLIFT, EROSION AND SUBSIDENCE DURING THE GROWTH OF THE CONTINENTS AS EARTH HISTORY PROGRESSED. THEY ARE THEREFORE IMPORTANT EVIDENCE FOR CRUSTAL MOBILITY THROUGHOUT EARTH HISTORY.

sp2606 [1]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

While ethanol is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene with water vapor at elevated temperatures.

A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 1.5 L flask at 12°C with 1.8 atm of ethylene gas and 4.7 atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 1.16 atm of ethylene gas and 4.06 atm of water vapor.

The engineer then adds another 1.2 atm of ethylene, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer: The partial pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time is 1.0 atm

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial partial pressure of ethylene gas = 1.8 atm

Initial partial pressure of water vapor = 4.7 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of ethylene gas = 1.16 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of water vapor = 4.06 atm

The chemical equation for the reaction of ethylene gas and water vapor follows:

$CH_2CH_2(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH(g)$

Initial: 1.8 4.7

At eqllm: 1.8-x 4.7-x

Evaluating the value of 'x'

$\Rightarrow (1.8-x)=1.16\\\\x=0.64$

The expression of $K_p$ for above equation follows:

$K_p=\frac{p_{CH_3CH_2OH}}{p_{CH_2CH_2}\times p_{H_2O}}$

$p_{CH_2CH_2}=1.16atm\\p_{H_2O}=4.06atm\\p_{CH_3CH_2OH}=0.64atm$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_p=\frac{0.64}{1.16\times 4.06}\\\\K_p=0.136$

When more ethylene is added, the equilibrium gets re-established.

Partial pressure of ethylene added = 1.2 atm

$CH_2CH_2(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH(g)$

Initial: 2.36 4.06 0.64

At eqllm: 2.36-x 4.06-x 0.64+x

Putting value in the equilibrium constant expression, we get:

$0.136=\frac{(0.64+x)}{(2.36-x)\times (4.06-x)}\\\\x=0.363,13.41$

Neglecting the value of x = 13.41 because equilibrium partial pressure of ethylene and water vapor will become negative, which is not possible.

So, equilibrium partial pressure of ethanol = (0.64 + x) = (0.64 + 0.363) = 1.003 atm

Hence, the partial pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time is 1.0 atm

The process of fermentation involves chemical reactions that convert solid glucose (C6H12O6) into aqueous ethanol and carbon dio

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

C6H12O6 —> C2H5OH + CO2

We can balance the equation above as follow:

There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 6 atoms of the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of C2H5OH as shown below:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + CO2

There are 6 atoms of C on the left side and 5 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Now the equation is balanced.

If the solubility of a gas is 10.5 g/L at 525 kPa pressure, what is the solubility of the gas when the pressure is 225 kPa? Show

Talja [164]

Answer:

4.5 g/L.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must mention Henry's law.

Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.

It can be expressed as: P = KS,

P is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution.

K is the Henry's law constant,

S is the solubility of the gas.

At two different pressures, we have two different solubilities of the gas.

∴ P₁S₂ = P₂S₁.

P₁ = 525.0 kPa & S₁ = 10.5 g/L.

P₂ = 225.0 kPa & S₂ = ??? g/L.

∴ S₂ = P₂S₁/P₁ = (225.0 kPa)(10.5 g/L) / (525.0 kPa) = 4.5 g/L.

if a standard die is rolled twice what is the probability of getting a perfect square,then a number that is less than 5.

Amanda [17]

There are three perfect squares in a standard die; 1, 2, 4. If there is two standard dies, then the probability of getting a perfect square is 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9.
There are 4 numbers less than 5 in a standard die, making it 1/4 x 1/4=1/16.
