Practice 14.2: Predict the equilibrium constant for the first reaction given the equilibrium constants for the second and third

reactions: (ans: 1.4 x 102)
CO2 (g) + 3 H2 (g)-><-CH3OH (g) + H2O (g) K1 = ?
CO (g) + H2O (g)-><- CO2 (g) + H2 (g) K2 = 1.0 x 105
CO (g) + 2 H2 (g)-><-CH3OH (g) K3 = 1.4 x 107

Reverse the 2nd reaction,
CO2 + H2 -------> CO + H2O---- i

Now new equilibrium constant will be,
K' = 1/K2 = 10^-5

Adding i and last equation you'll get,
<span>CO2 (g) + 3 H2 (g)----->CH3OH (g) + H2O (g)
K1 = K' x K3 = 1.4 x 10^2 </span>

Answer:

K1 = 1.4*10^2

Explanation:

The given reactions are:

Reaction 1

CO (g) + H2O (g)\rightleftharpoons  CO2 (g) + H2 (g).....K2 = 1.0 * 10^{5}

Reaction 2

CO (g) + 2 H2 (g)\rightleftharpoons CH3OH (g)....K3 = 1.4 * 10^{7}

The required reaction is:

CO2 (g) + 3 H2 (g)\rightleftharpoons CH3OH (g) + H2O (g)... K1 = ?

This reaction can be obtained by reversing the first reaction and then adding the reactions 1 and 2.

As per convention

1) For a multistep reaction, the net equilibrium constant is the product of Keq of the individual steps

2) if a reaction is reversed the new equilibrium constant will be the inverse of the old equilibrium constant.

Therefore,

K1 = \frac{1}{K2}*K3= \frac{1}{1.0*10^{5}}*1.4*10^{7}=1.4*10^{2}

0. Give an example of how an organism can use surface tension.<br><br><br>​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

In case of plants surface tension help to support the transpiration pull.

Explanation:

Surface tension is a force that hold the molecules in the surface to minimize the surface area.

   During evaporation of excess amount of water from the stomata of leaves of plants by transpiration a surface tension is generated.

   The generated surface tension helps to maintain the water column within the xylem tissue by the absorption of water from the soil by the roots.

Describe the relationship between predator and prey in a balanced ecosystem.
Annette [7]
<h2><u>Relationship between predator and prey in a balanced ecosystem.</u></h2>

Predators grow along with their victims. Over time, prey animals are now developing and avoiding themselves to get eaten by their predators. Such tactics and modifications can take many forms that make their work easier, including disguise, mimicry, defense mechanisms, flexibility, distance, habits and even tool use.

Though fact an equilibrium appears to occur within an ecosystem between predators and prey, there are several factors which affect it, including the birth and death rates of predators and preys.

Explain how steam causes burns by describing the transfer of heat.
erica [24]

Answer:

It will be : (in simple terms)

Condensation of hot steam or hot vapor on the cooler skin releases the water's latent heat of vaporization, rapidly raising the temperature of the skin which will result in steam burns.

Hope it helped

All the best!!

The combustion of 43.9 g of ammonia with 258 g of oxygen produces ________ g of no2.
adell [148]
<span>The balanced equation would be 4NH3 + 7O2 --> 4NO2 + 6H2O. Mass of Ammonia = 43.9 g; Molecular weight of Ammonia NH3 = 17.03056 g/mol. Mass of Oxygen = 258 g; Molecular weight of Oxygen O2 = 31.998 g/mol. Calculating the moles of Ammonia NH3 = Mass / Molecular weight of ammonia = 43.9 g / 17.03 g/mol = 2.578 moles of Ammonia. Calculating the moles of Oxygen O2 = Mass / Molecular weight of Oxygen =258 g / 31.998 g/mol = 8.063 moles of Oxygen. 2.578 moles of Ammonia will react with (7/4) x 2.578 moles of Oxygen (from the equation) that is 4.5115 moles of O2 to produce the NO2. Since we have more moles of O2 8.063 moles, Ammonia will be the limiting agent. Calculating the NO2 produces using the coordinate from the equation Molecular weight of NO2 = 46.00558 g/mol Mass of NO2 = (2.578 mol) x (4 mol of NO2 / 4 mol of NH3) x (46.006 g /mol) Produced NO2 = 118.6 g NO2</span>
