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

Select the pair that has the larger atom or ion listed first.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Correc option: Br^- \, , Kr

Explanation:

size of atom : it says somthing about how many shell present in a particular atom or ion and it can also be evaluated on the basis of radius of atom.

Br^- and Kr has highest number of shell as compared to other group of species .

Na ,S , Mg ,P all are from 3rd period but Kr and Br^- in the 4th period so size of species of this group will more,

Size increases on increasring the shell number

Which is TRUE of the reactants in this displacement reaction? Fe + 2HCI --> FeCI2 + H2
Masteriza [31]
I would go with C, because you would always start with products and end with reactants.

2.What two factors must be held constant for density to be a constant ratio?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Temperature and Pressure

Explanation:

Temperature and pressure cause change in volume.

So any change in volume will alter the ratio of density as given by equation of density.

Density = mass/ volume

Change in volume will alter the ratio.

Kindly mark it branliest if the answer is little bit satisfying.
