Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. An industrial ch

emist studying this reaction fills a 500. mL flask with 3.3 atm of sulfur dioxide gas and 0.79 atm of oxygen gas at 31.0 °C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of sulfur trioxide gas to be 0.47 atm Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant for the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

0.051

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 SO₃(g)

We can compute the pressures using an ICE chart.

         2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 SO₃(g)

I             3.3         0.79           0

C           -2x            -x           +2x

E         3.3-2x      0.79-x         2x

The partial pressure of sulfur trioxide gas is 0.47 atm. Then,

2x = 0.47

x = 0.24

The pressures at equilibrium are:

pSO₂ = 3.3-2x = 3.3-2(0.24) = 2.82 atm

pO₂ = 0.79-x = 0.79-0.24 = 0.55 atm

pSO₃ = 0.47 atm

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) is:

Kp = pSO₃² / pSO₂² × pO₂

Kp = 0.47² / 2.82² × 0.55

Kp = 0.051

Please help me with this question!! I’m not sure if they’re the insoluble ions that precipitate with chromate or the soluble one
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

2) Copper (II) Chloride

Explanation:

A precipitate will form if the resulting compound is insoluble in water. For example, a silver nitrate solution (AgNO3) is mixed with a solution of magnesium bromide (MgBr2).

You have an aqueous solution of chromium(III) nitrate that you titrate with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. After a cer
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The precipitate was chromium hydroxide, which then reacted with more hydroxide to produce a soluble complex, Cr(OH)4

Explanation:

The following reaction takes place when chromium(III) nitrate reacts with NaOH:

Cr(NO)_{3} +3 NaOH → Cr(OH)_{3} (s)+ NaNO_{3}

The precipitate that is formed is chromium hydroxide, Cr(OH)_{3}

When more NaOH is added, the precipitate reacts with it which then results in the formation of a soluble complex ion:

Cr(OH)_{3}(s) + OH^{-}(aq) → Cr(OH)_{4} ^{-}(aq)

Cr(OH)_{4} ^{-} is soluble complex ion
