Acetic acid, CH3CO2H, reacts with ethanol, C2H5OH, to form water and ethyl acetate, CH3CO2C2H5. The equilibrium constant for thi

s reaction with dioxane as a solvent is 4.0. What are the equilibrium concentrations for a mixture that is initially 0.15 M in CH3CO2H, 0.15 M in C2H5OH, 0.40 M in CH3CO2C2H5, and 0.40 M in H2O?

Explanation:

The initial concentrations for a mixture :

Acetic acid at equilibrium = 0.15 M

Ethanol at equilibrium = 0.15 M

Ethyl acetate at equilibrium = 0.40 M

Water at equilibrium = 0.40 M

CH3COOH + C_2H_5OH\rightleftharpoons CH_3CO_2C_2H_5+H_2O

Initially:

0.15 M            0.15 M            0.40 M   0.40 M

At equilibrium

(0.15-x)M       (0.15-x) M     (0.40+x) M   (0.40+x) M

The equilibrium constant is given by expression

K_c=\frac{[CH_3CO_2C_2H_5][H_2O]}{[CH_3COOH][C_2H_5OH]}

4.0=\frac{(0.40-x)\times (0.40-x)}{(0.15+x)\times (0.15+x)}

Solving for x:

x = 0.0333

The equilibrium concentrations for a mixture :

Acetic acid at equilibrium = (0.15-x)M = (0.15-0.033) M = 0.117 M

Ethanol at equilibrium = (0.15-x)M = (0.15-0.033) M = 0.117 M

Ethyl acetate at equilibrium = (0.40+x)M = (0.40+0.033) M = 0.433 M

Water at equilibrium = (0.40+x)M = (0.40+0.033) M = 0.433 M

If 9.9L of helium are in a tire at 303k,how many liters will be present at 403k if the pressure is held constant.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 13.18 Liters

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Initial volume = 9.9 L

Initial temperature = 303 K

Final temperature = 403 K

To find the final volume, we would use Charles law;

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles' law is given by the formula;

VT = K

\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Where;

  • V1 and V2 represents the initial and final volumes respectively.
  • T1 and T2 represents the initial and final temperatures respectively.

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

V_{2}= \frac{V1}{T1} * T_{2}

V_{2}= \frac{9.9}{303} * 403

V_{2}= 0.0327 * 403

<em>Final volume, V2 = 13.18 Liters</em>

A topaz crystal has an interplanar spacing (d) of 1.36 Å (1 Å =1×10^[−10] m). Calculate the wavelength of the X-ray that should
bija089 [108]

Answer:

7.0*10-11m or 70Å

Explanation:

From Bragg's equation, w=2dsinx/n

Since all the parameters are specified in the question, we can easily go ahead to obtain the wavelength but we must convert the spacing given in angstroms to meters using the conversion factor provided as shown in the solution below:
