0.01375 moles of nitric acid (HNO₃) which is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

NaOH + HNO₃ → NaNO₃ + H₂O

Now to determine the number of moles of each reactant we use the following formula:

molar concentration = number of moles / volume (L)

number of moles = molar concentration × volume (L)

number of moles of NaOH = 0.5 × 0.250 = 0.125 moles

number of moles of HNO₃ = 0.55 × 0.025 = 0.01375 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HNO₃, so 0.125 moles of NaOH will react with 0.125 moles of HNO₃ but we only have 0.01375 moles of HNO₃ available, so the limiting reactant is HNO₃.

Hno3, a strong acid, is added to shift the ag2co3 equilibrium (equation 7.6) to the right. explain why the shift occurs.

Deffense [45]

Answer 1) When a strong acid like $HNO_{3}$ reacts with $Ag_{2} CO_{3}$ usually the equilibrium shifts to the right because

As per the Le chatelier's principle "if in any reaction, a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the any of the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change." So, in the given reaction when $HNO_{3}$ reacts with $Ag_{2} CO_{3}$ it generates carbon dioxide and water as a by product, if we are adding $HNO_{3}$ it will remove some of the $CO_{3}$ molecule from the reaction mixture, which then tends to shift the equilibrium towards right.

Answer 2) The same would be observed in this case, if we replace $HNO_{3}$ with HCl it will shift the equilibrium to the right as their will be generation of AgCl as the precipitate.

As per the definition of Le Chatelier's principle if we add reactants in the reaction the equilibrium will tend to move towards right, also if we replace the products or remove it then too it will shift the equilibrium towards right. So, in this reaction you are removing $Ag^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ions from the solution.

Use the given data at 500 K to calculate ΔG°for the reaction

Anton [14]

Answer : The value of $\Delta G^o$ for the reaction is -959.1 kJ

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)$

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction $(\Delta H^o)$ .

$\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta H^o=[n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2O)}+n_{SO_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(SO_2)}]-[n_{H_2S}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2S)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)}]$

where,

$\Delta H^o$ = enthalpy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta H_f^0$ = standard enthalpy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta H^o=[2mole\times (-242kJ/mol)+2mole\times (-296.8kJ/mol)}]-[2mole\times (-21kJ/mol)+3mole\times (0kJ/mol)]$

$\Delta H^o=-1035.6kJ=-1035600J$

conversion used : (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now we have to calculate the entropy of reaction $(\Delta S^o)$ .

$\Delta S^o=S_f_{product}-S_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta S^o=[n_{H_2O}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(H_2O)}+n_{SO_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(SO_2)}]-[n_{H_2S}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(H_2S)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(O_2)}]$

where,

$\Delta S^o$ = entropy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta S_f^0$ = standard entropy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta S^o=[2mole\times (189J/K.mol)+2mole\times (248J/K.mol)}]-[2mole\times (206J/K.mol)+3mole\times (205J/K.mol)]$

$\Delta S^o=-153J/K$

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy of reaction $(\Delta G^o)$ .

As we know that,

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o-T\Delta S^o$

At room temperature, the temperature is 500 K.

$\Delta G^o=(-1035600J)-(500K\times -153J/K)$

$\Delta G^o=-959100J=-959.1kJ$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta G^o$ for the reaction is -959.1 kJ
