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

How many significant figures<br> are in this number?<br> 43.55
leva [86]

Answer:

4 significant figures

Explanation:

Significant figures are the units/digits within a number that make the number more accurate and precise.

All digits (except for 0) are always significant. Therefore, all the digits in 43.55 are significant. Since there are 4 digits in the given number, there are 4 significant figures.

Create a comic strip that follows the journey of energy from the sun as it travels through the humpback whale
Arisa [49]

The path of energy flow from the sun to the humpback whale is as follows:

  • Sun---> Plankton ---> Small fishes ---> Humpback whale.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

Energy is the ability to do work.

The primary source of energy on the earth is the sun.

The energy from the sun is used by producers to produce food on which other organisms depend on.

The energy from the sun gets to the humpback whale through producers such as plankton.

The path of energy flow from the sun to the humpback whale is as follows:

  • Sun---> Plankton ---> Small fishes ---> Humpback whale.

How many grams of barium chloride (BaCl2) are there in 0.187 mol?<br> 0.187 mol
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

38.9 grams of BaCl_2

Explanation:

0.187 mol BaCl2 x \frac{208 g}{1 mol}

0.187 m x 208 g/m

0.187 x 208 g

38.896 g --> 38.9 g BaCl2
