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

1. 4.67 kg; 2. 4.8 ×10^5 kg; 3. 0.106 cm^3; 4. 1.7 g/cm^3

<em>Q1. Mass of Hg </em>

Mass = 345 mL × (13.53 g/1 mL) = 4670 g = 4.67 kg

<em>Q2. Mass of Pb </em>

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>volume of the Pb</em>.

<em>V = lwh</em> = 6.0 m × 3.5 m × 2.0 m = 42.0 m^3

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of the Pb</em>.

Mass = 42.0 m^3 × (11 340 kg/1 m^3) = 4.8 × 10^5 kg

<em>Q3. Volume of displaced water </em>

Volume of Ag = 0.987 g × (1 cm^3/9.320 g) = 0.106 cm^3

<em>Archimedes</em>: volume of displaced water = volume of Ag = <em>0.106 cm^3</em>

<em>4. Density of metal </em>

<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>ounces to grams </em>

Mass = 3.35 oz × (28.35 g/1 oz) = 94.97 g

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>volume in cubic inches </em>

<em>V = lwh</em> = 3.0 in × 2.5 in × 0.45 in = 3.38 in^3

<em>Step 3</em>. Convert <em>cubic inches to cubic centimetres</em><em> </em>

<em>V</em> = 3.38 in^3 × (2.54 cm/1 in)^3 = 55.3 cm^3

<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the <em>density</em>

ρ = <em>m</em>/<em>V</em> = (94.97 g/55.3 cm^3) = 1.7 g/cm^3 (magnesium?)

A valid Lewis structure of IF3 cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.

Answer: IF3 (Iodine Trifluoride)

This is because, I (Iodine) and F (Fluorine) both have odd number of valence electrons (7) which also means that there are too many valence electrons in the valence shell.
