M(C)=73.5 g
m(H)=4.20 g
m(Cl)=72.3 g

mass of compound
m=m(C)+m(H)+m(Cl)

m=73.5+4.20+72.3=150 g

w(H)=100m(H)/m
w(H)=100*4.20/150=2.8%

w(Cl)=100m(Cl)/m
w(Cl)=100*72.3/150=48.2%

w(C)=100-w(H)-w(Cl)
w(C)=100-2.8-48.2=49.0%

Express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

$PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]$

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

a = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

b = 0.03464 L/mol

Explanation:

In the given question, we need to express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms of the parameters a and b. Therefore:

Using the van deer Waals equation of state:

$P = \frac{RT}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{V_{m} ^{2} }$

With further simplification, we have:

$P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} ^{2} }]$

Then, we have:

$P = \frac{RT}{V_{m} } [\frac{1}{1-\frac{b}{V_{m} } } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Therefore,

$PV_{m} = RT[(1-\frac{b}{V_{m} }) ^{-1} - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Using the expansion:

$(1-x)^{-1} = 1 + x + x^{2} + ....$

Therefore,

$PV_{m} = RT[1+\frac{b}{V_{m} }+\frac{b^{2} }{V_{m} ^{2} } + ... -\frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]$

Thus:

$PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]$ equation (1)

Using the virial equation of state:

$P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m} }+ \frac{B}{V_{m} ^{2}}+\frac{C}{V_{m} ^{3} }+ ...]$

Thus:

$PV_{m} = RT[1+ \frac{B}{V_{m} }+ \frac{C}{V_{m} ^{2} } + ...]$ equation (2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2), we have:

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

Using the measurements on argon gave B = −21.7 cm3 mol−1 and C = 1200 cm6 mol−2 for the virial coefficients at 273 K.

$b = \sqrt{C} = \sqrt{1200} = 34.64[tex]cm^{3}/mol$ [/tex] = 0.03464 L/mol

a = (b-B)*RT = (34.64+21.7)*(1L/1000cm^3)*(0.0821)*(273) = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

Gala2k [10]

$\text{Ammonia has been studied as an alternative "clean" fuel for internal combustion}$

$\text{engines, since its reaction with oxygen produces only nitrogen and water vapor,}$

$\text{and in the liquid form it is easily transported. An industrial chemist studying this}$

$\text{reaction fills a} \ \mathbf{100 \ L }\ \text{tank with} \ \mathbf{8.6 \ mol} \ \text{of ammonia gas and} \ \mathbf{28 \ mol} \ \ \text{of oxygen gas, }$

$\text{to be} \ \mathbf{2.6\ mol} \ .\ \text{Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the combustion of}$

$\text{ammonia at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.}$

Answer:

Explanation:

From the correct question above:

The reaction can be represented as:

$\mathbf{4 NH_3_{(g)}+ 3O_{2(g)} \iff 2N_{2(g)}+ 6H_2O_{(g)} }$

From the above reaction; the ICE table can be represented as:

$\mathbf{4 NH_3_{(g)}+ 3O_{2(g)} \iff 2N_{2(g)}+ 6H_2O_{(g)} }$

I (mol/L) 0.086 0.28 0 0

C -4x -3x +2x +6x

E 0.086 - 4x 0.28 - 3x +2x +6x

At equilibrium;

The water vapor = $\dfrac{2.6 \ mol}{100 \ L} = 6x$

$x = \dfrac{2.6}{100} \times \dfrac{1}{6}$

$x = 0.00433$

$\text{equilibrium constant} ({k_c}) = \dfrac{ [N_2]^2 [H_2O]^6 }{ [[NH_3]^4] [O_2]^3 }$

$\implies \dfrac{(2x)^2 (6x)^6}{(0.086-4x)^4\times (0.28-3x)^3} \\ \\$

Replacing the value of x, we have:

$K_c = \dfrac{4 \times 46,656 \times x^8}{(0.086-4x)^4\times (0.28 -3x)^3} \\ \\ K_c = \dfrac{4 \times 46656 \times (0.00433)^8}{(0.06868)^4(0.26701)^3} \\ \\ K_c = \mathbf{5.4446 \times 10^{-8}}$

$K_c = \mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{-8} \ to \ 2 \ significant \ figures}$
