Which solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure?
julia-pushkina [17]
Pressure: when the external pressure is:
less than one atmosphere, the boiling point of the liquid is lower than its normal boiling point.
equal to one atmosphere, the boiling point of a liquid is called the normal boiling point.
greater than one atmosphere, the boiling point of the liquid is greater than its normal boiling point.

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. An industrial ch
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The equation for the reaction can be represented as:

2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3

The I.C.E table can be represented as:

                     2SO₂              O₂                   2SO₃

Initial:             14                  2.6                     0

Change:        -2x                -x                      +2x

Equilibrium:   14 - 2x          2.6 - x                2x

However, Since the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.6 mol.

SO₃ = 2x,

then x = 1.6/2

x = 0.8 mol

For 2SO₂; we have 14 - 2x

= 14 - 2(0.8)

= 14 - 1.6

= 12.4 mol

For O₂; we have 2.6 - x

= 2.6 - 1.6

= 1.0 mol

Thus;

[SO₂] = moles / volume = ( 12.4/50) = 0.248 M ,

[O₂] = 1/50 = 0.02 M ,  

[SO₃] = 1.6/50 = 0.032 M

Kc = [SO₃]² / [SO₂]² [O₂]

= ( 0.032²) / ( 0.248² x 0.02)

= 0.8325

Recall that; the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3 = 0.8325;

If we want to find:

SO_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to SO_3

Then:

K_c = (0.8325)^{1/2}

\mathbf{K_c = 0.912}

Since no temperature is given to use in the question, it will be impossible to find the final temperature of the mixture.

Which best describes the importance of the microscope to the development of cell theory? Microscopes color different parts of ce
aliya0001 [1]
Cells are too small to see with the naked eye. 

It's pretty straight forward, use the cross-out method. 

1) Microscopes MAGNIFY images, they don't color the cells. In fact, scientists have to use these chemicals to "stain" or color the cells to see them more easily through microscopes. 

2) If the lenses of a microscope reduced the image of an organism to the size of a cell, you'd be seeing a very tiny human through your microscope, instead of actual cells. 

3) Microscopes don't "trap" anything. In fact, scientists use plates or slides under microscopes to contain what they're studying.
