Nitric oxide, an important pollutant in air, is formed from the elements nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, such as those

obtained when gasoline burns in an automobile engine. At 2000 oC, the K for the following reaction is 0.01.
N2 (g) + O2 (g) « 2 NO (g)

Predict the direction in which the system will move to reach equilibrium at 2000 oC if 0.4 moles of nitrogen and 0.1 moles of oxygen and 0.08 moles of NO are placed in a 1.0 L container. Hint: Calculate Q.

Answer:

Q is 0.5 and K is 0.01, therefore K is less than Q.

the system will proceed in the reverse direction, thereby converting products into reactants. converting Nitric oxide to form oxygen and nitrogen.

Explanation:

Given,

N2 (g) + O2 (g) « 2 NO (g)

K = 0.01

heated temperature = 2000 ⁰C

N2 moles =0.4

O2 moles =0.1

2NO moles = 0.08

Volume of container = 1L

Q is the reaction quotient  of the equilibrium equation. it is use to determined which direction the system will move to by comparing it with the K value.

Q can be calculated by multiplication of mass of reactant divide by mass of product

Q =\frac{ [N2] *[O2}{2NO}

the mass of the chemicals are in mole, there is need to convert them to moles/litre

therefore,

for N₂ : 0.4 mole per 1L container = 0.4 mol/L = 0.4M

for O₂ : 0.1 mole per 1L container = 0.1 mol/L = 0.1M

for 2NO : 0.08mole per 1L container = 0.08 mol/L = 0.08M

Q =\frac{ [N2] *[O2}{2NO} = (0.4*0.1)/0.08 = 0.5

finally, we are going to compare the value of Q with K

Note that:

if K>Q , the reaction will proceed forward, converting reactants into product.

if K<Q , the reaction will proceed backward, converting products into reactants.

if K=Q , the system of reaction is already in equilibrium.

since, Q is 0.5 and K is 0.01, therefore K is less than Q.

the system will proceed in the reverse direction, thereby converting products into reactants. converting Nitric oxide to form oxygen and nitrogen.

The coolant in automobiles is often a 50/50 % by volume mixture of ethylene glycol, C2H6O2, and water. At 20°C, the density of e
Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

Let the volume of the solution be 100 ml.

As the volume of glycol = 50 = volume of water

Hence, the number of moles of glycol = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

                                                  = \frac{density \times volume}{molar mass}

                         = \frac{1.1088 \times 50}{62 g/mol}

                         = 0.894 mol

Hence, number of moles of water = \frac{50 \times 0.998}{18}

                                             = 2.77

As glycol is dissolved in water.

So, the molality = 0.894 \times \frac{1000}{49.92}

                           = 17.9

Therefore, the expected freezing point = -1.86 \times 17.9

                                                                  = -33.31^{o}C

Thus, we can conclude that the expected freezing point is -33.31^{o}C.

How many moles are in 9.12 x 1023 molecules of sugar?​
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

1.514 moles

Explanation:

For this problem you want to use dimensional analysis and cancel out your molecules of sugar and be left with moles of sugar. We know that 1 mole (of anything) = 6.022 x 10 ^ 23 molecules, so we should use that conversion to help us. Start with 9.12 x 10 ^23 molecules and divide by 6.022 x 10 ^ 23 molecules, and you will be left with moles.

Hope this helps!

xeze [42]

Answer:0.1677M

Explanation:

Molarity=moles/volume

Number of moles =mass/molar mass

Once you get the number of moles, you apply it to the molarity formula.
