Answer:
0.4 M
Explanation:
Equilibrium occurs when the velocity of the formation of the products is equal to the velocity of the formation of the reactants. It can be described by the equilibrium constant, which is the multiplication of the concentration of the products elevated by their coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentration of the reactants elevated by their coefficients. So, let's do an equilibrium chart for the reaction.
Because there's no O₂ in the beginning, the NO will decompose:
N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g)
0.30 0 0.70 Initial
+x +x -2x Reacts (the stoichiometry is 1:1:2)
0.30+x x 0.70-2x Equilibrium
The equilibrium concentrations are the number of moles divided by the volume (0.250 L):
[N₂] = (0.30 + x)/0.250
[O₂] = x/0.25
[NO] = (0.70 - 2x)/0.250
K = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂])
K =
7.70 = (0.70-2x)²/[(0.30+x)*x]
7.70 = (0.49 - 2.80x + 4x²)/(0.30x + x²)
4x² - 2.80x + 0.49 = 2.31x + 7.70x²
3.7x² + 5.11x - 0.49 = 0
Solving in a graphical calculator (or by Bhaskara's equation), x>0 and x<0.70
x = 0.09 mol
Thus,
[O₂] = 0.09/0.250 = 0.36 M ≅ 0.4 M
Answer: 10
Explanation:
The detailed solution is contained in the image attached. The molar mass of hydrated and anhydrous salts are obtained and the number of moles of hydrated and hydrated salts are equated. The masses of hydrated and anhydrous salts are gives in the question and are simply substituted accordingly. This can now be used to obtain the number of molecules of water of crystallization as required in the question.
