The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Sulfuric acid is essential to dozens of important industries from steel making to plastics and pharmaceuticals. More sulfuric acid is made than any other industrial chemical, and world production exceeds 2.0\times 10^{11} 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_p=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.

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sulfur that is expected to be consumed is 0.046 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial partial pressure of oxygen gas = 6.90 atm

The chemical equation for the formation of sulfur dioxide follows:

                  S(s)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons SO_2(g)

<u>Initial:</u>                  6.90  

<u>At eqllm:</u>             6.90-x         x

The expression of K_p for above equation follows:

K_p=\frac{p_{SO_2}}{p_{O_2}}

We are given:

K_p=0.71

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.71=\frac{x}{(6.9-x)}\\\\x=2.9

So, equilibrium partial pressure of sulfur dioxide = x = 2.9 atm

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas, which follows:

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure of sulfur dioxide gas = 2.9 atm

V = volume of the container = 50.0 L

n = number of moles of sulfur dioxide gas = ?

R = 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the container = 950^oC=[950+273]K=1223K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2.9\times 50.0=n\times 0.0821\times 1223\\\\n=\frac{2.9\times 50.0}{0.0821\times 1223}=1.44mol

Moles of sulfur dioxide = 1.44 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfur dioxide is produced from 1 mole of sulfur

So, 1.44 moles of sulfur dioxide will be produced from \frac{1}{1}\times 1.44=1.44mol of sulfur

To calculate the mass of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of sulfur = 1.44 moles

Molar mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.44mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sulfur}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sulfur}=(1.44mol\times 32g/mol)=46.08g=0.046kg

Hence, the mass of sulfur that is expected to be consumed is 0.046 kg

Which statement best describes a typical difference that could be found between the "Analysis" and "Conclusion" sections of a
IgorC [24]

The statement “Only the “Conclusion” section discusses whether the original hypothesis was supported, and both sections suggest further  research”, best describes the difference between analysis and conclusion.

Answer: Option 4

<u>Explanation: </u>

In research, we do experiments and derive the results. Then, those results were analyzed by us. In this analysis part, we compare our results with the related results published elsewhere. Also, we correlate the similarities and point out the differences between our analysis and other reported results.

In conclusion part, we have to check hypothesis or it supported. And, we summarise our analysis and figure out the further research need to be done on that to improvise our research. So, the final statement is the correct option which best describes the difference between analysis and conclusion.

A certain man needed 400N of force to pull a load through a distance of 150cm in 8s . Calculatell i) the work done by man ii) th
Igoryamba

Answer:

a) 600 J

b) 75 W

Explanation:

Force= 400 N, distance = 150 cm = 1.5 m, time= 8s

a) Work is the product of force acting on an object and distance (or displacement). The S.I unit of work is the joules.

Work = force × distance = 400 × 1.5 = 600 J

b) Power is the amount of energy transferred per unit time. It is the ratio of work to time. The S.I unit of power is watt

Power = work/time = 600 / 8 = 75 W
