Answer:
a)
b)
Explanation:
Equation of reaction:
Initial pressure 3 1 0
Pressure change 2P 1P 2P
Total pressure = (3-2P) + (1-P) + (2P)
Total Pressure = 3.75 atm
(3-2P) + (1-P) + (2P) = 3.75
4 - P = 3.75
P = 4 - 3.75
P = 0.25 atm
Let us calculate the pressure of each of the components of the reaction:
Pressure of XO2 = 3 - 2P = 3 - 2(0.25)
Pressure of XO2 =2.5 atm
Pressure of O2 = 1 - P = 1 -0.25
Pressure of O2 = 0.75 atm
Pressure of XO3 = 2P = 2 * 0.25
Pressure of XO3 = 0.5 atm
From the reaction, equilibrium constant can be calculated using the formula:
Standard free energy:
b) value of k−1 at 27 °C, i.e. 300K
To solve this problem, let us all convert the mass of each element into number of moles using the formula:
moles = mass / molar mass
Where,
molar mass K = 39.10 g / mol
<span>molar mass Cl = 35.45 g / mol</span>
molar mass O = 16 g / mol
<span>and mass O = 13 g – 4.15 g – 3.76 g = 5.09 g</span>
moles K = 4.15 g / (39.10 g / mol) = 0.106 mol
<span>moles Cl = 3.76 g / (35.45 g / mol) = 0.106 mol</span>
moles O = 5.09 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.318 mol
The ratio becomes:
0.106 K: 0.106 Cl: 0.318 O
We divide all numbers with the smallest number, in this case 0.106. This becomes:
K: Cl: 3O
Therefore the empirical formula is:
