A large balloon is initially filled to a volume of 25.0 L at 353 K and a pressure of 2575 mm Hg. What volume of gas will the bal

bija089 [108]

Answer:

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.

Explanation:

Using Ideal gas equation for same mole of gas as

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = 25.0 L

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 2575 mm Hg

Also, P (atm) = P (mm Hg) / 760

P₁ = 2575 / 760 atm = 3.39 atm

P₂ = 1.35 atm

T₁ = 353 K

T₂ = 253 K

Using above equation as:

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

$\frac{{3.39}\times {25.0}}{353}=\frac{{1.35}\times {V_2}}{253}$

$\frac{1.35V_2}{253}=\frac{3.39\times \:25}{353}$

Solving for V₂ , we get:

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.

Draw a mechanism for the reaction of water with formic acid. In the box to the left, draw any necessary curved arrows. Show the

dsp73

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When water reacts with formic acid, The following equilibrium is set up;

HCOOH(aq) + H20(l) ⇄ HCOO-(aq) + H30+(aq)

This is because, the water abstracts a proton from formic acid to form its conjugate base, formate ion.

At equilibrium, the forward is favored.

In a study of the following reaction at 1200 K it was observed that when the equilibrium partial pressure of water vapor is 15.0

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The value of $K_p$ for this reaction at 1200 K is 4.066.

Explanation:

Partial pressure of water vapor at equilibrium = $p^o_{H_2O}=15.0 Torr$

Partial pressure of hydrogen gas at equilibrium = $p^o_{H_2}=?$

Total pressure of the system at equilibrium P = 36.3 Torr

Applying Dalton's law of partial pressure to determine the partial pressure of hydrogen gas at equilibrium:

$P=p^o_{H_2O}+p^o_{H_2}$

$p^o_{H_2}=P-p^o_{H_2O}=36.3 Torr- 15.0 Torr = 21.3 Torr$

$3 Fe(s) 4 H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons Fe_3O_4(s) 4 H_2(g)$

The expression of $K_p$ is given by:

$K_p=\frac{(p^o_{H_2})^4}{(p^o_{H_2O})^4}$

$K_p=\frac{(21.3 Torr)^4}{(15.0 Torr)^4}=4.066$

The value of $K_p$ for this reaction at 1200 K is 4.066.
