Answer:

The reaction isn't yet at equilibrium. The overall reaction will continue to move in the direction of the products.

Assumption: this system is currently at \rm 900^{\circ}C.

Explanation:

One way to tell whether a system is at its equilibrium is to compare its reaction quotient Q with the equilibrium constant K_c of the reaction.

The equation for Q is quite similar to that for K_c. The difference between the two is that K_c requires equilibrium concentrations, while Q can be calculated even when the system is on its way to equilibrium.

For this reaction,

\displaystyle Q = \rm \frac{[CS_2]\cdot [H_2]^{4}}{[CH_4]\cdot [H_2S]^{2}}.

Given these concentrations,

\displaystyle Q = \rm \frac{[CS_2]\cdot [H_2]^{4}}{[CH_4]\cdot [H_2S]^{2}} =\frac{1.51\times (1.08)^{4}}{1.15\times (1.20)^{2}} \approx 1.72.

The question states that at \rm 900^{\circ}C, K_c = 3.59. Assume that currently this system is also at \rm 900^{\circ}C. (The two temperatures need to be the same since the value of K_c depends on the temperature.)

It turns out that Q = K_c. What does this mean?

  • First, the system isn't at equilibrium.
  • Second, if there's no external changes, the system will continue to move towards the equilibrium. Temperature might change. However, eventually Q will be equal to K_c, and the system will achieve equilibrium.

In which direction will the system move? At this moment, Q < K_c. As time proceeds, the value of Q will increase so that it could become equal to K_c. Recall that Q is fraction.  

\displaystyle Q = \rm \frac{[CS_2]\cdot [H_2]^{4}}{[CH_4]\cdot [H_2S]^{2}}

When the value of Q increases, either its numerator becomes larger or its denominator becomes smaller, or both will happen at the same time. However,

  • Concentrations on the numerator of Q are those of the products;
  • Concentrations on the denominator of Q are those of the reactants.

As time proceeds,

  • the concentration of the products will increase, while
  • the concentration of the reactants will decrease.

In other words, the equilibrium will move towards the products.

Darwin's theorized that three conditions were necessary for natural selection to occur, which of the following is NOT one of the
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct option is: stable environment

Explanation:

According to the Darwin's theory, natural selection is the concept by which all the small useful variations of traits are preserved.

According to Darwin, there are three <u>necessary and sufficient conditions</u> for the occurrence of natural selection:

1. struggle for existence

2. variation

3. inheritance

These conditions are said to be necessary because if these conditions are not satisfied then natural selection does not occur.

These conditions are said to be sufficient because if these conditions are satisfied, then natural selection will most definitely occur.

A sample of a gas in a 4L container at 300K has a pressure of 1 atm. If the
zavuch27 [327]

The final pressure of the gas in the container is 4 atm

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 4 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 300 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 1 atm

Final temperature (T₂) = 600 K

Final volume (V₂) = 2 L

<h3>Final pressure (P₂) =?</h3>

  • Using the combine gas equation, we can obtain the final pressure of the gas as illustrated below:

\frac{P_{1} V_{1} }{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\\\frac{1 * 4}{300} = \frac{P_{2} * 2}{600} \\\\

Cross multiply

300 × 2 × P₂ = 4 × 600

600 × P₂ = 2400

Divide both side by 600

P_{2} = \frac{2400}{600} \\\\

<h3>P₂ = 4 atm</h3>

Therefore, the final pressure of gas is 4 atm.

a weather balloon contains 8.80 moles of helium at a ppressure of 0.992 atm and a temperature os 25 C at ground level. What is t
djverab [1.8K]
We can use the ideal gas law equation to find the volume of the balloon.
PV = nRT 
where 
P - pressure - 0.992 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 100 514 Pa
V - volume 
n - number of moles - 8.80 mol 
R - universal gas constant  - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature in kelvin - 25 °C + 273 = 298 K
Substituting these values in the equation 
100 514 Pa x V = 8.80 mol x  8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 298 K
V = 217 L
volume of balloon is 217 L
