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

If the car still produces 8500N, but now it accelerates at only 4 m/s2 what is the MASS
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

You can do that yourself, but there's a example question below. And, if for example, I just answer your question and you don't even try to answer. it dosent matter.

Explanation:Force=Mass x Acceleration  -or-  F=ma

where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. The units are Newtons (N) for force, kilograms (kg) for mass, and meters per second squared (m/s2) for acceleration. The other forms of the equation can be used to solve for mass or acceleration.

m=F/a and a=F/m Example:

Engineers at the Johnson Space Center must determine the net force needed for a rocket to achieve an acceleration of 70 m/s2. If the mass of the rocket is 45,000 kg, how much net force must the rocket develop?

Using Newton's second law, F=ma

F=(45,000 kg)(70 m/s2) = 3,150,000 kg m/s2 F=3,150,000 N Note that the units kg m/s2 and newtons are equivalent; that is, 1 kg m/s2

Please solve for Cu,N,and O an dif you can show how cause ik confused
belka [17]

Cu⇒ 1 atom

N⇒2 atoms

O⇒6 atoms

Total 9 atoms

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

<em>(empirical formula) n = molecular formula  </em>

Chemical formula : Cu(NO₃)₂

Number of Cu : 1

Number of N : 2

Number of O = 2 x 3 = 6

Total atoms in Cu(NO₃)₂ : 1 + 2 + 6 = 9
