Answer:

a. 0.171M

b. 0.0938M

c. 0.284

d. 1.99atm

e. 1.88

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction whose balance should be corrected as:

2H_2S(g) \rightleftharpoons 2H_2(g) + S_2(g)

For which the law of mass action, in terms of the change x due to stoichiometry and the reaction extent, turns out:

K=\frac{[H_2]_{eq}^2[S_2]_{eq}}{[H_2S]_{eq}^2}

Thus, the initial concentration of hydrogen sulfide is:

[H_2S]_0=\frac{6.75g/(34g/mol)}{0.75L} =0.265M

Now, since the equilibrium amount of sulfur is given, the change x due to equilibrium reaching is:

[S_2]_{eq}=x=\frac{6.42x10^{-2}mol}{0.75L}=0.0856M

Therefore:

a. Equilibrium concentration of hydrogen:

[H_2]_{eq}=2x=2*0.0856M=0.171M

b. Equilibrium concentration of hydrogen sulfide:

[H_2S]_{eq}=0.265M-2x=0.265M-2*0.0856M=0.0938M

c.) Equilibrium constant, Kc:

Kc=\frac{(0.171)^2(0.0856)}{(0.0938)^2}=0.284

d.) Partial pressure of sulfur gas:

p_{S_2}=[S_2]RT= 0.0856\frac{mol}{L}*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*283K=1.99atm

e. Kc, for the reaction:

H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2} S_2(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2S(g)

In that case, it equals the inverse halved initial reaction, whose modification is related as:

Kc_2=\frac{1}{\sqrt{Kc} } =\frac{1}{\sqrt{0.284} } =1.88

Best regards.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

B. First order, Order with respect to C = 1

Explanation:

The given kinetic data is as follows:

A + B + C → Products

     [A]₀     [B]₀    [C]₀       Initial Rate (10⁻³ M/s)

1.   0.4      0.4     0.2       160

2.  0.2      0.4      0.4       80

3.   0.6     0.1       0.2       15

4.   0.2     0.1       0.2        5

5.   0.2     0.2      0.4       20

The rate of the above reaction is given as:

Rate = k[A]^{x}[B]^{y}[C]^{z}

where x, y and z are the order with respect to A, B and C respectively.

k = rate constant

[A], [B], [C] are the concentrations

In the method of initial rates, the given reaction is run multiple times. The order with respect to a particular reactant is deduced by keeping the concentrations of the remaining reactants constant and measuring the rates. The ratio of the rates from the two runs gives the order relative to that reactant.

Order w.r.t A : Use trials 3 and 4

\frac{Rate3}{Rate4}= [\frac{[A(3)]}{[A(4)]}]^{x}

\frac{15}{5}= [\frac{[0.6]}{[0.2]}]^{x}

3 = 3^{x} \\\\x =1

Order w.r.t B : Use trials 2 and 5

\frac{Rate2}{Rate5}= [\frac{[B(2)]}{[B(5)]}]^{y}

\frac{80}{20}= [\frac{[0.4]}{[0.2]}]^{y}

4 = 2^{y} \\\\y =2

Order w.r.t C : Use trials 1 and 2

\frac{Rate1}{Rate2}= [\frac{[A(1)]}{[A(2)]}]^{x}[\frac{[B(1)]}{[B(2)]}]^{y}[\frac{[C(1)]}{[C(2)]}]^{z}

we know that x = 1 and y = 2, substituting the appropriate values in the above equation gives:

\frac{160}{80}= [\frac{[0.4]}{[0.2]}]^{1}[\frac{[0.4]}{[0.4]}]^{2}[\frac{[0.2]}{[0.4]}]^{z}

1 = (0.5)^{z}

z = 1

Therefore, order w.r.t C = 1
