Answer:

N₂ = 0.7515atm

O₂ = 0.1715atm

NO = 0.0770atm

Explanation:

For the reaction:

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g)

Where Kp is defined as:

Kp = \frac{P_{NO}^2}{P_{N_2}P_{O_2}}}

Pressures in equilibrium are:

N₂ = 0.790atm - X

O₂ = 0.210atm - X

NO = 2X

Replacing in Kp:

0.0460 = [2X]² / [0.790atm - X] [0.210atm - X]

0.0460 = 4X² / 0.1659 - X + X²

0.0460X² - 0.0460X + 7.6314x10⁻³ = 4X²

-3.954X² - 0.0460X + 7.6314x10⁻³ = 0

Solving for X:

X = - 0.050 → False answer. There is no negative concentrations.

X = <em>0.0385 atm</em> → Right answer.

Replacing for pressures in equilibrium:

N₂ = 0.790atm - X = <em>0.7515atm</em>

O₂ = 0.210atm - X = <em>0.1715atm</em>

NO = 2X = <em>0.0770atm</em>

Answer:

partial pressure N2 =  0.7515 atm

partial pressure O2 =  0.1715 atm

partial pressure NO =  0.077 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 2200 °C

Pressure of N2 = 0.790 atm

Pressure of O2 = 0.210 atm

Kp = 0.0460

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) + O2(g) ⇆ 2NO(g)

Step 3: The pressure at equilibrium

pN2 = 0.790 - X atm

pO2 = 0.210 - X atm

pNO = 2X

Step 4: Define Kp and the partial pressures

Kp = (pNO)² / (pO2 * pN2)

0.0460 = 4X² / (0.210 - X)(0.790 - X)

X = 0.0385

pN2 = 0.790 - 0.0385 =  0.7515 atm

pO2 = 0.210 - 0.0385 = 0.1715 atm

pNO = 2*0.0385 = 0.077 atm

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures
quester [9]

I don't know what the problem is, but here are some rues to help you out:

  1. All non-zero figures are significant
  2. When a zero falls between non-zero digits, that zero is significant.
  3. When a zero falls after a decimal point, that zero is significant.
  4. When multiplying and dividing significant figures, the answer is limited to the number of sig figs equal to the least number of sig figs in the problem.
  5. When adding and subtracting, the answer is limited to the number of decimal places in the number with the least number of decimal places.

Vitamin D is produced in the skin when 7-dehydrocholesterol reacts with UVB rays (ultraviolet B) having wavelengths between
goblinko [34]

The energy range expected is 6.6 × 10^-19 J < E < 7.33 × 10^-19 J

The energy of the photon is given by;

E = hc/λ

E = energy of the photon

h = Plank's constant

c = speed of light

λ = wavelength of light

For the upper boundary range;

E = ?

h = 6.6 × 10^-34 Js

c = 3  × 10^8 m/s

λ = 270 × 10^-9

E =  6.6 × 10^-34 Js × 3  × 10^8 m/s / 270 × 10^-9

E = 7.33 × 10^-19 J

For the lower range;

E = ?

h = 6.6 × 10^-34 Js

c = 3  × 10^8 m/s

λ =300 × 10^-9

E =  6.6 × 10^-34 Js × 3  × 10^8 m/s / 300 × 10^-9

E = 6.6 × 10^-19 J

Hence, the energy range 6.6 × 10^-19 J < E <  7.33 × 10^-19 J
