Answer:

ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) = 129.7kJ/mol

Explanation:

Bringing out the parameters mentioned in the question;

Vapor pressure = 94.4 mm of Hg

The vaporization reaction is given as;

C₆H₆(l) ⇄ C₆H₆(g)

Equilibrium in terms of activities is given by:

K = a(C₆H₆(g)) / a(C₆H₆(l))

Activity of pure substances is one:

a(C₆H₆(l)) = 1

Assuming ideal gas phase activity equals partial pressure divided by total pressure. At standard conditions

K = p(C₆H₆(g)) / p°

Where p° = 1atm = 760mmHg standard pressure

We now have;

K = 94mmHg / 760mmHg = 0.12421

Gibbs free energy is given as;

ΔG = - R·T·ln(K)

where R = gas constant = 8.314472J/molK

So ΔG° of vaporization of benzene is:

ΔvG° = - 8.314472 · 298.15 · ln(0.12421)

ΔvG° = 5171J/mol = 5.2kJ/mol

Gibbs free energy change of reaction = Gibbs free energy of formation of products - Gibbs free energy of formation of reactants:

ΔvG° = ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) - ΔfG°(C₆H₆(l))

Hence:

ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) = ΔvG°+ ΔfG°(C₆H₆(l))

ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) = 5.2kJ/mol + 124.5kJ/mol

ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) = 129.7kJ/mol

Calculate the energy (in J/atom) for vacancy formation in silver, given that the equilibrium number of vacancies at 800 C is 3.6

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

the energy vacancies for formation in silver is $\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Explanation:

Given that:

the equilibrium number of vacancies at 800 °C

i.e T = 800°C is 3.6 x 10¹⁷ cm3

Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

Let's first determine the number of atoms in silver

Let silver be represented by N

SO;

$N = \dfrac{N_A* \rho _{Ag}}{A_{Ag}}$

where ;

$N_A =$ avogadro's number = $6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol$

$\rho _{Ag}$ = Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

$A_{Ag}$ = Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

$N = \dfrac{(6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol)*( 9.5 \ g/cm^3)}{(107.9 \ g/mol)}$

N = 5.30 × 10²⁸ atoms/m³

However;

The equation for equilibrium number of vacancies can be represented by the equation:

$N_v = N \ e^{^{-\dfrac{Q_v}{KT}}$

From above; Considering the natural logarithm on both sides; we have:

$In \ N_v =In N - \dfrac{Q_v}{KT}$

Making $Q_v$ the subject of the formula; we have:

${Q_v = - {KT} In( \dfrac{ \ N_v }{ N})$

where;

K = Boltzmann constant = 8.62 × 10⁻⁵ eV/atom .K

Temperature T = 800 °C = (800+ 273) K = 1073 K

$Q _v =-( 8.62*10^{-5} \ eV/atom.K * 1073 \ K) \ In( \dfrac{3.6*10^{17}}{5.3 0*10^{28}})$

$\mathbf{Q_v = 2.38 \ eV/atom}$

Where;

1 eV = 1.602176565 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Then

$Q_v = (2.38 \ * 1.602176565 * 10^{-19} ) J/atom }$

$\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Thus, the energy vacancies for formation in silver is $\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

10 m3 of carbon dioxide is originally at a temperature of 50 °C and pressure of 10 kPa. Determine the new density and volume of

Dimas [21]

Answer : The new density and new volume of carbon dioxide gas is 0.2281 g/L and $7.2m^3$ respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the new or final volume of carbon dioxide gas.

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 10 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 15 kPa

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = $10m^3$

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $50^oC=273+50=323K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $75^oC=273+75=348K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{10kPa\times 10m^3}{323K}=\frac{15kPa\times V_2}{348K}$

$V_2=7.2m^3$

The new volume of carbon dioxide gas is $7.2m^3$

Now we have to calculate the new density of carbon dioxide gas.

$PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{m}{M}RT\\\\P=\frac{m}{V}\frac{RT}{M}\\\\P=\rho \frac{RT}{M}\\\\\rho=\frac{PM}{RT}$

Formula for new density will be:

$\rho_2=\frac{P_2M}{RT_2}$

where,

$P_2$ = new pressure of gas = 15 kPa

$T_2$ = new temperature of gas = $75^oC=273+75=348K$

M = molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 L.kPa/mol.K

$\rho$ = new density

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\rho_2=\frac{(15kPa)\times (44g/mole)}{(8.314L.kPa/mol.K)\times (348K)}$

$\rho_2=0.2281g/L$

The new density of carbon dioxide gas is 0.2281 g/L

Solid sodium azide (NaN3) produces solid sodium and nitrogen gas. How many grams of sodium azide are needed to yield a volume of

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

52.008 grams of sodium azide are needed to yield a volume of 26.5 L of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 295 K and a pressure of 1.10 atmospheres.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of the gases:

P*V = n*R*T

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

2 NaN₃ → 2 Na + 3 N₂

You know the following about N₂:

P= 1.10 atm
V= 26.5 L
n=?

$R=0.082057 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$

T= 295 K

Replacing in the equation for ideal gas:

1.10 atm* 26.5 L= n* $0.082057 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$ *295 K

Solving:

$n=\frac{1.10 atm*26.5 L}{0.082057 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *295K}$

n= 1.2 moles

Now, the following rule of three can be applied: if 3 moles of N₂ are produced by stoichiometry of the reaction from 2 moles of NaN₃, 1.2 moles of N₂ are produced from how many moles of NaN₃?

$moles of NaN_{3}=\frac{1.2 molesofN_{2} *2 molesofNaN_{3} }{3 molesofN_{2} }$

moles of NaN₃= 0.8

Since the molar mass of sodium azide is 65.01 g / mol, then one last rule of three applies: if 1 mol has 65.01 grams of NaN₃, 0.8 mol how much mass does it have?

$mass of NaN_{3} =\frac{0.8 mol*65.01 grams}{1 mol}$

mass of NaN₃=52.008 grams

<u><em>52.008 grams of sodium azide are needed to yield a volume of 26.5 L of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 295 K and a pressure of 1.10 atmospheres.</em></u>
