ΔG o for the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) is 2.60 kJ/mol at 25°C. Calculate ΔG o , and predict the direction in which the rea

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

Temperature = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 Kelvin

The initial pressures are:

pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate ΔG

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q

with ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

with R = 8.3145 J/K*mol

with T = 298 Kelvin

Q = the reaction quotient → has the same expression as equilibrium constant → in this case Kp = [p(HI)]²/ [p(H2)] [p(I2)]

with pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

Q = (3.10²)/(1.5*1.75)

Q = 3.661

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q

ΔG = 2600 J/mol + 8.3145 J/K*mol * 298 K * ln(3.661)

ΔG =5815.43 J/mol = 5.815 kJ/mol

To be spontaneous, ΔG should be <0.

ΔG >>0 so the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.

Coal can be used to generate hydrogen gas (a potential fuel) by thefollowing endothermic reaction.C(s) + H2O (g) <==> CO(g

SpyIntel [72]

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

$C(s) + H_2O (g)\leftrightharpoons CO(g) + H_2(g)$

Given that reaction is an endothermic reaction.

For the given options:

a)Adding more C

If the concentration of C that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of C takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction to wards the formation of hydrogen gas.

b) Adding more $H_2O$

If the concentration of water that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of water takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction towards the formation of hydrogen gas.

c) Raising the temperature of the reaction mixture

If the temperature is increased,heat of the equilibrium mixture will also increase so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in heat that is decrease in temperature occurs.

As, this is an endothermic reaction, forward reaction will decrease the temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.

d) Increasing the volume of reaction mixture

If the volume of the container is increased, the pressure will decrease according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is greater at the product side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.

e) Adding a catalyst to reaction mixture

Role of catalyst is to attain the equilibrium quickly without disturbing the state of equilibrium. Hence, addition of catalyst will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.

f) Adding an inert gas to reaction mixture

Adding inert gas to the mixture at constant volume will not effect the equilibrium. Hence, addition of an inert gas will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.

A 0.45-g sample of aspirin is decomposed into its constituent elements and found to contain 0.27 g C, 0.020 g H, and 0.16 g O. C

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass % of C = 0.27/0.45*100 = 60%

mass % of H = 0.02/0.45*100 = 4.4%

mass % of O = 0.16/0.45*100 = 35.6%

Total = 60%+4.4%+ 35.6% = 100%

In the science fiction movie, The Abyss, a diver is able to breathe while his head is immersed in a specially prepared liquid pu

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

This type of experiment was carried out in 1960s on rodents, it was partially successful but was perceived impractical and dangerous for humans,it is possible theoretically.

Oxygen is broken down or dissolves in a thin film of fluid in the alveoli, surprisingly in normal breathing liquid composed of dissolved oxygen is involved. Evidently respiratory gas must be able to dissolve in this liquid and in concentration required to keep the partial pressure necessary to power diffusion.

Help me with these questions :)

maxonik [38]

Answer:

1 ) H2O 2) Hydrogen and oxygen 3) Compound

Explanation:

1) To write a chemical formula, you write the number of molecules of an element (2 hydrogen atoms + 1 Oxygen atom, or H2O). The letters represent the element's notation on the periodic table, while the number that follows it represents the number of atoms of that particular element within the compound. If there is no number that follows the letter, there is only one.

2) Letter "H" on the periodic table represents hydrogen, while "O" represents oxygen

3) You can tell that this is a compound because it is made of two or more elements found on the periodic table
