Answer:

a) \triangle G^{0} = 7.31 kJ/mol

b) K_{-1} = 0.0594 m^{-1} s^{-1}

Explanation:

Equation of reaction:

                                     2 XO_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) \rightleftharpoons 2XO_{3} (g)

Initial pressure                  3              1              0

Pressure change             2P           1P             2P

Total pressure = (3-2P) + (1-P) + (2P)

Total Pressure = 3.75 atm

(3-2P) + (1-P) + (2P) = 3.75

4 - P = 3.75

P = 4 - 3.75

P = 0.25 atm

Let us calculate the pressure of each of the components of the reaction:

Pressure of XO2 = 3 - 2P = 3 - 2(0.25)

Pressure of XO2 =2.5 atm

Pressure of O2 = 1 - P = 1 -0.25

Pressure of O2 = 0.75 atm

Pressure of XO3 = 2P = 2 * 0.25

Pressure of XO3 = 0.5 atm

From the reaction, equilibrium constant can be calculated using the formula:

K_{p} = \frac{[PXO_{3}] ^{2} }{[PXO_{2}] ^{2}[PO_{2}] }

K_{p} = \frac{0.5^2}{2.5^2 *0.75} \\K_{p} = 0.0533 = K_{eq}

Standard free energy:

\triangle G^{0} = - RT ln k_{eq} \\\triangle G^{0} = -(0.008314*300* ln0.0533)\\\triangle G^{0} = 7.31 kJ/mol

b) value of k−1 at 27 °C, i.e. 300K

K_{1} = 7.8 * 10^{-2} m^{-2} s^{-1}

K_{c} = K_{p}RT\\K_{c} = 0.0533* 0.0821 * 300\\K_{c} = 1.313 m^{-1}

K_{-1} = \frac{K_{1} }{K_{c} } \\K_{-1} = \frac{7.8 * 10^{-2}  }{1.313 }\\K_{-1} = 0.0594 m^{-1} s^{-1}

How are ionic bonds formed
kiruha [24]
Ionic bonds are formed as one atom the metal gives up or transfers one of its valence electron to the other atom that would then be able to accept it. This other atom is a non metal. This process occurs because the atoms want to become more stable by each of them satisfying the octet rule. In which atoms would have a maximum of 8 valence electrons.

Water molecules stick together by a force called?
patriot [66]

Answer:

Cohesion

Explanation:

Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are to one another, the substance will be more or less cohesive. Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.
