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}

Which will NOT occur when a light tray ray interacts with a smooth pane of glass?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.

Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to  separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.

Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.

How do muscles work in pairs to make parts of the body move?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Muscles work in pairs to move a bone.

Skeletal muscles only PULL in one direction. For this reason they always come in pairs. When one muscle in a pair contracts, to bend a joint for example, its counterpart then contracts and pulls in the opposite direction to straighten the joint out again.
