Answer:
it is not D!! i took the test and it was wrong on plato
Explanation:
if the product has lesser energy than the reactants it means enthalpy change value is positive.so it is endothermic reaction where the heat is absorbed.so kcl will formation will have positive enthalpy change .
The decomposition of so3 to so2 gas and o2 gas can be described in the balanced chemical equation:
2so3(g) = 2 so2 (g) + 02(g).
so assuming a complete reaction, the ratio of so2 gas to total products is 2/3 while that of 02 is 1/3.
Subtracting water's water vapor pressure, 760-40 mm hG = 720 mm Hg.
then the products partial pressures are
so2 = 2/3 * (720) = 480 mm Hg.
o2 = 720-480 = 240 mm Hg.
The scientific process has to adapt to what the experiment is.
This problem is about conversion and dimensional analysis. Important information to know:
1 atm = 760 torr = 101.325 kPa
For atm to torr conversion:
0.875 atm * (760 torr / 1 atm) = 665 torr
For atm to kPa conversion:
0.875 atm * (101.325 kPa / atm) = 88.7 kPa
Thus the answer is b) 665 torr and 88.7 kPa
