The decomposition of N2O4 into NO2 has Kp = 2. Some N2O4 is placed into an empty container, and the partial pressure of NO2 at e

quilibrium is measured to be 0.2 atm. What was the initial pressure in the container prior to decomposition? A) 0.10 atm B) 0.12 atm C) 0.20 atm D) 0.22 atm E) 0.30 atm

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Expression for the given decomposition reaction is as follows.

           N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Let us assume that x concentration of N_{2}O_{4} is present at the initial stage. Therefore, according to the ICE table,

                    N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Initial :               x                   0

Change :       - 0.1        2 \times 0.1

Equilibrium : (x - 0.1)             0.2

Now, expression for K_{p} of this reaction is as follows.

     K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

          K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

                 2 = \frac{(0.2)^{2}}{(x - 0.1)}

                2 \times (x - 0.1) = (0.2)^{2}

                            x = 0.12

This means that P_{N_{2}O_{4}} = x = 0.12 atm.

Thus, we can conclude that the initial pressure in the container prior to decomposition is 0.12 atm.

A sample of nitrogen gas had a volume of 500. ml, a pressure in its closed container of 740 torr and a temperature 25 degrees c
Semenov [28]
Question:
              <span>A sample of nitrogen gas had a volume of 500mL, a pressure in its closed container of 740 torr and a temperature of 25°c. what was the volume of gas when the temperature was changed to 50°c and the new pressure was 760 torr?

Answer:

Data Given:
                   V</span>₁  =  500 mL

                   P₁  =  740 torr

                   T₁  =  25 °C + 273  =  298 K

                   V₂  =  ?

                   P₂  =  760 torr

                   T₂  =  50 °C + 273  =  323 K

Solution:
             Let suppose the gas is acting Ideally, then According to Ideal Gas Equation,

                      P₁ V₁ / T₁  =  P₂ V₂ / T₂

Solving for V₂,

                      V₂  =  (P₁ V₁ T₂) ÷ (T₁ P₂)

Putting Values,
  
                      V₂  =  (740 torr × 500 mL × 323 K) ÷ (298 K × 760 torr)

                      V₂  =  527.68 mL

The periodic table has undergone some changes since it was first introduced. List three ways the modern periodic table differs f
Hoochie [10]
One of the differences I can think of is that hydrogen is no longer listed as a group I element.

According to the mendeleev tables that I looked up, hydrogen is catorgrized as a group I element, along with Lithium, sodium, Potassium etc. However, nowadays, hydrogen does not belong to any groups in the periodic table. This is because there are arguments about whether hydrogen belongs to group I. Group I elements are all alkali metals, while hydrogen is not. However, some people says that hydrogen only have one outer shell electron so it should be in group I. Some people even say hydrogen should belong to group VII because it only needs one more electron in order to achieve the duplet of electrons.

Therefore as you may notice, hydrogen in modern periodic tables are put in the center of the periodic table on the top.
