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 a sample containing 18.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 90.4 g of
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

3.64g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NH₃  = 18.1g

Mass of Cu₂O  = 90.4g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant  = ?

Mass of N₂ formed  = ?

Solution:

The reaction equation is given as:

       Cu₂O + 2NH₃ → 6Cu + N₂ + 3H₂O

The limiting reactant is the one in short supply in the reaction. Let us find the number of moles of the given species;

  Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

Molar mass of Cu₂O = 2(63.6) + 16  = 143.2g/mol

Molar mass of NH₃  = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol

Number of moles of Cu₂O = \frac{18.1}{143.2}   = 0.13moles

Number of moles of NH₃   = \frac{90.4}{17}   = 5.32moles

  From this reaction;

       1 mole of  Cu₂O combines with 2 mole of NH₃

So   0.13moles of  Cu₂O will combine with 0.13 x 2 mole of NH₃

                                              = 0.26moles of NH₃

Therefore, Cu₂O is the limiting reactant. Ammonia is in excess;

Mass of N₂;

   Mass = number of moles x molar mass

    1 mole of Cu₂O  will produce 1 mole of N₂

    0.13 mole of Cu₂O  will produce 0.13 mole of N₂

    Mass  = 0.13 x (2 x 14) = 3.64g
