Sulfur and oxygen react to produce sulfur trioxide. In a particular experiment, 7.9 grams of SO3 are produced by the reaction of

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

$\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=82.29$

Explanation:

First write the balance eqation of chemical reaction:

$2S(s) +3O_2(g) \rightarrow 2SO_3(g)$

Remember writing any chemical reaction from its elemetal form then write the elements in their natural form i.e. how that element exists in the nature here sulphur exists in solid monoatomic form in the nature and oxygen in gaseous diatomic form.

mass of oxygen given=5gram

mole of oxygen $=5/32mol=0.16mol$

mass of sulpher given=6gram

mole of sulpher $=6/32mol=0.19mol$

from the above balanced equaion;

2 mole of sulphur reacts with 3 mole Oxygen completely

1 mole of sulphur reacts with 1.5 mole Oxygen completely

0.19 mole of sulphur reacts with $1.5\times 0.19$ i.e. 0.285 mole Oxygen completely.

but we have 0.16 mole so oxygen will be the limiting reagent and sulpher will be the excess reagent

so product will depend on the limiting reagent

from the balance equation

3 mole of sulpher gives 2 mole $SO_3$

1 mole of sulpher will give 2/3 mole $SO_3$

0.16 of sulpher will give 0.12 mole $SO_3$

mass of $SO_3$ =9.6gram this is theoreical production of $SO_3$

and

actual production of $SO_3$ =7.9gram

$\%\, yield \,\, SO_3=\frac{Actual \,yield}{theoretical\, yield}\times 100$

$\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=\frac{7.9}{9.6} \times 100=82.29$

$\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=82.29$

What is the partial pressure of radon if the total pressure is 780 torr and the

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

0.03atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Total pressure = 780torr

Partial pressure of water vapor = 1.0atm

Unknown:

Partial pressure of radon = ?

Solution:

A sound knowledge of Dalton's law of partial pressure will help solve this problem.

The law states that "the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases".

Mathematically;

P $_{t}$ = P $_{1}$ + P $_{2}$ + P $_{n}$

Since the total pressure is 780torr, convert this to atm;

760torr = 1 atm

780torr = $\frac{780}{760}$ atm = 1.03atm

For this problem;

Total pressure = Partial pressure of radon + Partial pressure of water vapor

1.03 = Partial pressure of radon + 1.0

Partial pressure of radon = 1.03 - 1.00 = 0.03atm

As an EPA scientist studying catalytic converters and urban smog, you want to find Kc for the following reaction: 2NO2(g) ⇋ N2(g

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Kc = 4.774 * 10¹³

Explanation:

the desired reaction is

2 NO₂(g) ⇋ N₂(g) + 2 O₂(g)

Kc =[N₂]*[O₂]² /[NO₂]²

Since

1/2 N₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) ⇋ NO(g)

Kc₁= [NO]/(√[N₂]√[O₂]) → Kc₁²= [NO]²/([N₂][O₂])

and

2 NO₂(g) ⇋ 2 NO(g) + O₂(g)

Kc₂= [NO]²*[O₂]/[NO₂]² → 1/Kc₂= [NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂])

then

Kc₁²* (1/Kc₂) = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂]) *[NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂]) = [NO₂]²/([N₂]*[O₂]²) = 1/Kc

Kc₁² /Kc₂ = 1/Kc

Kc= Kc₂/Kc₁² =1.1*10⁻⁵/(4.8*10⁻¹⁰)² = 4.774 * 10¹³
