The formation of SO3 from SO2 and O2 is an intermediate step in the manufacture of sulfuric acid, and it is also responsible for

the acid rain phenomenon. The equilibrium constant KP for the reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) is 0.13 at 803°C. In one experiment, 2.00 mol SO2 and 2.00 mol O2 were initially present in a flask. What must be the total pressure at equilibrium in order to have an 71.0% yield of SO3?

Answer:

118.22 atm

Explanation:

2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2SO₃(g)      

KP = 0.13 = \frac{p(SO_{3})^{2}}{p(SO_{2})^{2}p(O_{2})}

Where p(SO₃) is the partial pressure of SO₃, p(SO₂) is the partial pressure of SO₂ and p(O₂) is the partial pressure of O₂.

  • With 2.00 mol SO₂ and 2.00 mol O₂ if there was a 100% yield of SO₃, then 2 moles of SO₃ would be produced and 1.00 mol of O₂ would remain.
  • With a 71.0% yield, there are only 2*0.71 = 1.42 mol SO₃, the moles of SO₂ that didn't react would be 2 - 1.42 = 0.58; and the moles of O₂ that didn't react would be 2 - 1.42/2 = 1.29.

The total number of moles is 1.42 + 0.58 + 1.29 = 3.29. With that value we can calculate the molar fraction (X) of each component:

  • XSO₂ = 0.58/3.29 = 0.176
  • XO₂ = 1.29/3.29 = 0.392
  • XSO₃ = 1.42/3.29 = 0.432

The partial pressure of each gas is equal to the total pressure (PT) multiplied by the molar fraction of each component.

  • p(SO₂) = 0.176 * PT
  • p(O₂) = 0.392 * PT
  • p(SO₃) = 0.432 * PT

Rewriting KP and solving for PT:

\frac{p(SO_{3})^{2}}{p(SO_{2})^{2}p(O_{2})}=0.13\\\frac{(0.432*P_{T})^{2}}{(0.176*P_{T})^{2}(0.392*P_{T})} =0.13\\\frac{0.1866*P_{T}^{2}}{0.0121*P_{T}^{3}} =0.13\\\frac{15.369}{P_{T}}=0.13\\P_{T}=118.22 atm

3. 25. The temperatures favorable for the growth of most bacteria are
kvasek [131]

B.

about the same as for humans

Explanation:

This is why most bacteria, during research in labs, are incubated at 37 degrees centigrade, about the same as human body temperature. In addition, harmful and beneficial bacteria thrive in the human body due to the favorable temperatures for growth and reproduction. To try and fight an infection, the body also tries to raise the body temperatures above the optimal for the bacteria  growth (the reason one has a fever in case of infection).

imagine that you go into the lab and perform a titration. you measure 40 ml of your analyte and add it to an erlenmeyer flask. t
mote1985 [20]

The Molar concentration of your analyte solution is 1.17 m

<h3>What is titration reaction?</h3>
  • Titration is a chemical analysis procedure that determines the amount of a sample's ingredient by adding a precisely known amount of another substance to the measured sample, with which the desired constituent reacts in a specific, known proportion.

Make use of the titration formula.

The formula is molarity (M) of the acid x volume (V) of the acid = molarity (M) of the base x volume (V) of the base.

if the titrant and analyte have a 1:1 mole ratio. (Molarity is a measure of a solution's concentration represented as the number of moles of solute per litre of solution.)

26 x 1.8 = 40 x M

M = 26 x1.8 /40

M = 1.17

The Molar concentration of your analyte solution is 1.17 m

What is the volume of a liquid that has a density 3.65g/ml and a mass of 5.61g
Lorico [155]

Answer:

<h2>1.54 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question we have

volume =  \frac{5.61}{3.65}  \\  =1.536986...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.54 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
