Given:
K = 0.71 = Kp
The reaction of sulphur with oxygen is
S(s) + O2(g) ---> SO2(g)
initial Pressure 6.90 0
Change -x +x
Equilibrium 6.90-x x
Kp = pSO2 / pO2 = 0.71 = x / (6.90-x)
4.899 - 0.71x = x
4.899 = 1.71x
x = 2.86 atm = pressure of SO2 formed
temperature = 950 C = 950 + 273.15 K = 1223.15 K
Volume = 50 L
Let us calculate moles of SO2 formed using ideal gas equation as
PV = nRT
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm / mol K
putting other values
n = PV / RT = 2.86 X 50 / 1223.15 X 0.0821 = 1.42 moles
Moles of Sulphur required = 1.42 moles
Mass of sulphur required or consumed = moles X atomic mass of sulphur
mass of S = 1.42 X 32 = 45.57 grams or 0.04557 Kg of sulphur
Answer:
The correct answer is option C) "Handle your thermometer with care. When you remove it from your drawer be sure to hold both ends of the thermometer so that it does not slip out".
Explanation:
Handling a thermometer with care is part of the laboratory safety precautions that should be considered regarding to the reactivity of metals. Old thermometers are based on the element mercury, a shining metal that is the only element that is in liquid state on room temperature conditions. Mercury is very toxic, and is particularly dangerous because it vaporizes at room temperature and it could be inhaled.
The balanced chemical
reaction will be:
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
We are given the amount of carbon dioxide to produce from the reaction.
This will be our starting point.
560 L CH4 ( 1 mol CH4/ 22.4 L CH4 ) (2 mol O2/ 1 mol CH4 ) (
22.4 L O2 / 1 mol <span>O2</span><span>) = 1120 L O2</span>
