Consider the reaction below for which K = 78.2 atm-1. A(g) + B(g) ↔ C(g) Assume that 0.386 mol C(g) is placed in the cylinder re

presented below. The barometric pressure on the piston (which is assumed to be massless and frictionless) is constant at 1.00 atm. The original volume (before the 0.386 mol C(g) begins to decompose) is 7.29 L. The temperature is fixed and can be determined from the idea gas law. What is the volume in the cylinder at equilibrium?

Answer:

1.65 L

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given as:

                        A            +            B           ⇄        C

where;

numbers of moles = 0.386 mol C  (g)

Volume =  7.29 L

Molar concentration of C = \frac{0.386}{7.29}

= 0.053 M

                        A            +            B           ⇄        C

Initial               0                           0                      0.530    

Change          +x                          +x                       - x

Equilibrium      x                           x                      (0.0530 - x)

K = \frac{[C]}{[A][B]}

where

K is given as ; 78.2 atm-1.

So, we have:

78.2=\frac{[0.0530-x]}{[x][x]}

78.2= \frac{(0.0530-x)}{(x^2)}

78.2x^2= 0.0530-x

78.2x^2+x-0.0530=0  

Using quadratic formula;

\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

where; a = 78.2 ; b = 1 ; c= - 0.0530

= \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}   or \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

= \frac{-(1)+\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}  or \frac{-(1)-\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}

= 0.0204  or -0.0332

Going by the positive value; we have:

x = 0.0204

[A] = 0.0204

[B] = 0.0204

[C] = 0.0530 - x

     = 0.0530 - 0.0204

     = 0.0326

Total number of moles at equilibrium = 0.0204 +  0.0204 + 0.0326

= 0.0734

Finally, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder at equilibrium using the ideal gas; PV =nRT

if we make V the subject of the formula; we have:

V = \frac{nRT}{P}

where;

P (pressure) = 1 atm

n (number of moles) = 0.0734 mole

R (rate constant) = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

T = 273.15 K  (fixed constant temperature )

V (volume) = ???

V=\frac{(0.0734*0.0821*273.15)}{(1.00)}

V = 1.64604

V ≅ 1.65 L

Can spectrum colors be mixed
larisa86 [58]
Additive color mixing involves multiple sources of light with different colors in each source. Subtractive color mixing involves a single source of light with different colors absorbing various wavelengths of the color spectrum. Secondary colors of one system serve as the primary colors for the other.

Determine the specific heat ofmaterial if a 12g sample absorbed 48j as it was heated from 20-40
devlian [24]

Answer:

c =0.2 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of material = ?

Mass of sample = 12 g

Heat absorbed = 48 J

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 40°C

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  40°C -20°C

ΔT =  20°C

48 J = 12 g×c×20°C

48 J =240 g.°C×c

c = 48 J/240 g.°C

c =0.2 J/g.°C
