Answer:

Maximum amount of sulfur trioxide that can be formed = 26.822 g

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction

2SO₂ + O₂ -----> 2SO₃

25.2 grams of sulfur dioxide are allowed to react with 5.36 grams of oxygen gas. What is the maximum amount of sulfur trioxide that can be formed?

It is the limiting reagent (the reactant in the stoichiometric lesser amount) that determines how much product is formed or how much of the other reactant is formed.

So, we convert the masses of reactants present into number of moles to get a clearer picture.

(Number of moles) = (mass)/(molar mass)

For sulfur dioxide,

Mass present = 25.2 g

Molar mass = 64.066 g/mol

(Number of moles present) = (25.2/64.066)

(Number of moles present) = 0.39 moles

For Oxygen gas,

Mass present = 5.36 g

Molar mass = 32.0 g/mol

(Number of moles present) = (5.36/32)

(Number of moles present) = 0.1675 moles

But from the stoichiometric balance,

2SO₂ + O₂ -----> 2SO₃

2 moles of Sulfur dioxide reacts with 1 mole of Oxygen gas

If Sulfur dioxide was the limiting reagent,

0.39 moles would react with (0.39×1/2) moles of Oxygen gas; 0.195 moles of Oxygen gas.

This is more than the total amount of Oxygen gas present at the start of the reaction, hence, Sulfur dioxide cannot be the limiting reagent.

Oxygen gas as limiting reagent,

1 mole of Oxygen gas reacts with 2 moles of Sulfur dioxide,

0.1675 moles of Oxygen gas would react with (0.1675×2/1) of Sulfur dioxide; 0.335 moles of Sulfur dioxide.

This indicates that oxygen is truly the limiting reagent and Sulfur dioxide is the reagent that is present in excess.

So, now, we calculate the amount of Sulfur trioxide that can be obtained from this reaction setup (assuming a 100% conversion and the maximum amount of Sulfur dioxide formed)

2SO₂ + O₂ -----> 2SO₃

1 mole of Oxygen gas gives 2 moles of Sulfur trioxide,

0.1675 moles of Oxygen gas will give (0.1675×2/1) moles of Sulfur trioxide; 0.335 moles of Sulfur trioxide.

We then convert this to mass.

(Mass) = (number of moles) × (molar mass)

Molar mass of SO₃ = 80.066 g/mol

(Mass of SO₃ produced) = 0.335 × 80.066

(Mass of SO₃ produced) = 26.822 g.

Maximum amount of sulfur trioxide that can be formed = 26.822 g

Hope this helps!!

Briefly describe bohr's model postulates and its limitations.​
ch4aika [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Bohr's Model postulates-</u>

I postulate - The electrons in an atom orbit around the nucleus in definite circular paths called orbits or shells.

II Postulate - Each shell or orbit represents a specific amount of energy.

III Postulate - By emitting or absorbing energy, an electron may shift from one stationary energy orbit to another.

<u>Three main Limitations -</u>

1- It adjusts to the hydrogen atom's spectrum but not to the spectra of other atoms.

2 - In the definition of the electron as a tiny particle that spins around the atomic nucleus, the wave properties of the electron are not described.

3- Bohr is unable to understand why classical electromagnetism is inapplicable to his model. That is why, when electrons are in a stationary orbit, they do not emit electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

<u>About Bohr's postulates-</u>

1 - The electron spins in circling circles around the nucleus, emitting no energy. The orbital angular momentum is constant in these orbits.

Only certain radii of orbits, corresponding to certain given energy levels, are required for electrons in an atom.

2- Not every orbit is possible. However, whenever an electron is in a legal orbit, it is in a state of unique and constant energy and does not emit energy (stationary energy orbit).

<u>For example -</u> The energies allowed for electrons in the hydrogen atom are given by the following equation: The Rydberg constant for the hydrogen atom is -2.8\times10^-^1^8 in this equation, and n = quantum number will range from 1 to ∞. For each of the values of n, the electron energies of a hydrogen atom produced by the above equation are negative. As n rises, the energy becomes less negative and thus rises.

3- By emitting or absorbing energy, an electron may shift from one stationary energy orbit to another.

The energy difference between the two states would be equal to the energy released or consumed. This energy E is in the form of a photon, and it can be measured using the following formula:

    E=hv

E is the energy (absorbed or emitted) in this equation, and h is the Planck constant (its value is 6.63\times10^-^3^4 Js) and v denotes the frequency of light, which is calculated in 1/ s.

In which of the following cases will the LEAST time be required to arrive at equilibrium? K below refers to the equilibrium cons
mylen [45]

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that equilibrium constant is represented as follows for any general reaction.

                 A + B \rightarrow C + D

                   K = \frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]}

As equilibrium constant is directly proportional to the concentration of products so more is the value of equilibrium constant more will be the number of products formed.

As a result, more is the time taken by the reaction to reach towards equilibrium. Whereas smaller is the value of equilibrium constant more rapidly it will reach towards the equilibrium.

Thus, we can conclude that cases where K is a very small number will require the LEAST time to arrive at equilibrium.

How many moles are in 5.25 L of oxygen gas as stp
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0, 235 mol

Explanation:

We use the formula PV =nRT. The normal conditions of temperature and pressure are 273K and 1 atm, we use the gas constant = 0, 082 l atm / K mol:

1 atm x 5, 25l = n  x 0, 082 l atm / K mol x 273 K

n= 1 atm x 5, 25l /0, 082 l atm / K mol x 273 K

n= 0, 235 mol

42.9 liters of hydrogen are collected over water at 76.0 °C and has a pressure of 294 kPa. What would the pressure (in kPa) of t
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

494.1 kPa

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (kPa)

P2 = final pressure (kPa)

V1 = initial volume (L)

V2 = final volume (L)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question,

P1 = 294 kPa

P2 = ?

V1 = 42.9 liters

V2 = 22.8 liters

T1 = 76.0°C = 76 + 273 = 349K

T2 = 38.7°C = 38.7 + 273 = 311.7K

294 × 42.9/349 = P2 × 22.8/311.7

12612.6/349 = 22.8 P2/311.7

36.14 = 22.8P2/311.7

Cross multiply

36.14 × 311.7 = 22.8P2

11264.605 = 22.8P2

P2 = 11264.605 ÷ 22.8

P2 = 494.1 kPa
