Sulfuric acid is essential to dozens of important industries from steelmaking to plastics and pharmaceuticals. More sulfuric aci

d is made than any other industrial chemical, and world production exceeds 2.0 x 10 kg per year. The first step in the synthesis of sulfuric acid is usually burning solid sulfur to make sulfur dioxide gas. Suppose an engineer studying this reaction introduces 4.4 kg of solid sulfur and 6.90 atm of oxygen gas at 950. °C into an evacuated 50.0 L tank. The engineer believes K-0.71 for the reaction at this temperature. Calculate the mass of solid sulfur he expects to be consumed when the reaction reaches equilibrium. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken in his belief about the value of Kp, and the consumption of sulfur you calculate may not be what he actually observes.

Given:

K = 0.71 = Kp

The reaction of sulphur with oxygen is

                            S(s)   + O2(g)  ---> SO2(g)

initial Pressure                   6.90         0

Change                                -x            +x

Equilibrium                     6.90-x          x

Kp = pSO2 / pO2 = 0.71 = x / (6.90-x)

4.899 - 0.71x  = x

4.899 = 1.71x

x = 2.86 atm = pressure of SO2 formed

temperature = 950 C = 950 + 273.15 K = 1223.15 K

Volume = 50 L

Let us calculate moles of SO2 formed using ideal gas equation as

PV = nRT

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

putting other values

n = PV / RT = 2.86 X 50 / 1223.15 X 0.0821 = 1.42 moles

Moles of Sulphur required = 1.42 moles

Mass of sulphur required or consumed = moles X atomic mass of sulphur

mass of S = 1.42 X 32 = 45.57 grams or 0.04557 Kg  of sulphur

According to Pascal's principle, how does pressure from a hand squeezing a ketchup bottle move throughout the ketchup?
Pepsi [2]

- According to Pascal’s principle, for a certain fluid in a totally enclosed system, a change in pressure at a given point in the fluid is transferred to all points in the fluid, as well as to the enclosing walls.

- This is illustrated by the fact that the pressure inside an enclosed system is the same according to the relation [ pressure = force/area ]. Therefore, the change in pressure resulting from squeezing a ketchup bottle will be transferred equally to all parts of that bottle as well as its internal content.

- That’s how hydraulic machines, such as garbage trucks and hydraulic lifts function..

24. What volume of a 0.0200M calcium hydroxide is required to neutralize 35.00 mL of 0.0500M nitric acid
Natalka [10]

Answer:

THE VOLUME OF 0.200M CALCIUM HYDROXIDE NEEDED TO NEUTRALIZE 35 mL of 0.050 M NITRIC ACID IS 43.75 mL.

Explanation:

Using

Ca VA / Cb Vb = Na / Nb

Ca = 0.0500 M

Va = 35 mL

Cb = 0.0200 M

Vb = unknown

Na = 2

Nb = 1

Equation for the reaction:

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 --------> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

So therefore, we make Vb the subject of the equation and solve for it

Vb = Ca Va Nb / Cb Na

Vb = 0.0500 * 35 * 1 / 0.0200 * 2

Vb = 1.75 / 0.04

Vb = 43.75 mL

The volume of 0.02M calcium hydroxide required to neutralize 35 mL of 0.05 M nitric acid is 43.75 mL
