Answer:

P = 0.557 atm

Explanation:

Let's write the equation again:

H₂S(g) <---------> H₂(g) + S(g)     Kp = 0.784

We know that only H2S is present at the beggining of reaction, and we want to know the total pressure in the container at equilibrium.

To do this, we need to know the partial pressure of all gases in equilibrium. To do that, we use an ICE chart, and solve for the partial pressure in equilibrium. Once we have that, we just sum the value of the pressure in equilibrium

Doing an ICE chart we have:

          H₂S(g) <---------> H₂(g) + S(g)     Kp = 0.784

I:         0.292                    0       0

C:           -x                       +x      +x

E:       0.292-x                  x       x

Writting the expression for Kp:

Kp = [H₂] [S] / [H₂S] --> replacing the values of the chart:

0.784 = x² / 0.292-x     solving for x

0.784(0.292-x) = x²

0.2289 - 0.784x = x²

x² + 0.784x - 0.2289 = 0

Using the general formula for x, in a quadratic equation we have:

x = -b ±√b² - 4ac / 2a

From the equation, we replace the values of a, b and c, and solve for x:

a = 1; b = 0.784; c = -0.2289

x = -0.784 ±√(0.784)² - 4 * 1 * (-0.2289) / 2 * 1

x = -0.784 ±√0.6147 + 0.9156 / 2

x = -0.784 ±√1.5303 / 2

x = -0.784 ± 1.237 / 2

x1 = -0.784 + 1.237 / 2 = 0.2265

x2 = -0.784 - 1.237 / 2 = -1.0105

The negative value is neglected, so we use x1 = 0.2265

Therefore the equilibrium pressures are:

PpH₂S = 0.292 - 0.2265 = 0.0655 atm

PpH₂ = PpS = 0.2265 atm

So, the total pressure in the container would be:

P = 0.0655 + 0.2265 + 0.2265

P = 0.557 atm

the solubility in mol/dm3 of 20.2g of potassium trioxonitrate(V)dissolved in 100g of water at room temperature is​
enyata [817]

Answer:

  • <u>2.00 mol/dm³</u>

Explanation:

Potassium trioxonitrate(V) is KNO₃.

<u>1. Find the molar mass of the solute</u>

The molar mass of KNO₃ is 39.098g/mol + 14.007g/mol + 3×15.999g/mol = 101.102g/mol.

<u>2. Convert the mass of solute, 20.02g, into number of moles</u>

  • number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • number of moles = 20.2g / 101.102g/mol = 0.1998mol

<u>3. Assume that the volume of the solution is equal to the volume of water</u>

This is a rough approximation, but it is necessary since you do not have the density of the solution:

  • density = mass / volume
  • 1.00 g/cm³ = 100g / volume
  • volume = 100g × 1.00g/cm³ = 100cm³

Convert 100cm³ to dm³:

  • 100cm³ × 1dm³ / 1,000cm³ = 0.1 dm³

<u>4. Calculate the solubility is mol/dm³</u>

  • 0.1998 mol / 0.1dm³ = 1.998mol/dm³ ≈ 2.00mol/dm³

It is rounded to three significant digits to match the choices.

If a copper acetate hydrate, Cux(C2H3O2)y zH2O compound is found to contain 31.82% Copper, 59.14% acetate, and the remainder is
cluponka [151]
Answer is: empirical formula is Cu(C₂H₃O₂)₂ · H₂O.
If we use 100 grams of compound:
m(Cu) = 0,3182 · 100 g = 31,82 g.
n(Cu) = m(Cu) ÷ M(Cu).
n(Cu) = 31,82 g ÷ 63,55 g/mol.
n = 0,5 mol.
m(C₂H₃O₂) = 0,5914 · 100 g = 59,14 g.
n(C₂H₃O₂) = 59,14 g ÷ 59,14 g/mol.
n(C₂H₃O₂) = 1 mol.
m(H₂O) = 100 g - 59,14 g - 31,82 g = 9,04 g.
n(H₂O) = 9,04 g ÷ 18,02 g/mol.
n(H₂O) = 0,5 mol.
n(Cu) : n(C₂H₃O₂) : n(H₂O) = 0,5 mol : 1 mol : 0,5 mol.
n(Cu) : n(C₂H₃O₂) : n(H₂O) = 1 : 2 : 1.

A substance did not change its chemical nature in a reaction. Which most likely describes the reaction?
Alona [7]

when you hit a chemical with hammer and it was frozen  only its physical properties will change and not he chemical properties,

when heated it may decompose to other chemical

when you hit with hamer it physical appearance will change but it remains chemically the same

when you put in  salt solution , it wil interact with ions and its chemical properties changes

similarly when it was frozen, it retains its chemical properties.
