The water-gas shift reaction plays a central role in the chemical methods for obtaining cleaner fuels from coal:CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇄

CO₂(g) + H₂(g)At a given temperature, Kp = 2.7. If 0.13 mol of CO, 0.56 mol of H₂O, 0.62 mol of CO₂, and 0.43 mol of H₂ are put in a 2.0-L flask, in which direction does the reaction proceed?

The reaction will proceed in the reverse direction in order to increase the concentrations of both CO and H2O and decrease that of CO2 and H2 until Q = K.

The reaction will proceed to the left

Step 1: The balanced equation

CO(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO2(g) + H2(g)

Step 2: Data given

Kp = 2.7

Number of moles of CO = 0.13 mol

Number of moles of H2O = 0.56 mol

Number of moles of CO2 = 0.62 mole

Number of moles of H2 = 0.61 mol

Volume = 2.0L

Step 3: Calculate Q

Pco = 0.13 / 1.92  P

Ph2o = 0.56 / 1.92 P

Pco2 = 0.62/1.92 P

Ph2 =0.61 / 1.92 P

Q =  [CO2][H2] / [CO][H2O] = 5.2

Q > Kp  The reaction will proceed to the left

The reaction will proceed in the reverse direction in order to increase the concentrations of both CO and H2O and decrease that of CO2 and H2 until Q = K.

Write the balanced standard combustion reaction for the c5h7on3s2
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Explanation:

When C5H7ON3S2 under go Combustion, the following are obtained as illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

Now, let us balance the equation. This is illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

There are 3 atoms of N on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of C5H7ON3S2 and 6 in front of N2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 20 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 20 in front of CO2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 28 atoms on H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 14 in front of H2O as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 8 atoms of S on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of S2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, there are a total of 54 atoms of O on the right side and 6 atoms on the left side

It can be balance by putting 25 in front of O2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced.

Ralph and Sheila are at a construction site and they are stacking bricks. The diagram above shows the bricks before they touch.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: Sheila's top brick will be cooler than Ralph’s top brick, because Sheila’s started with more total energy, so less energy had to transfer for both her bricks to reach the same total energy.
