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

You are given a solution that is 518 mM lactose. You need to make up 4.5 L of 16.7 mM solution. What volume do you need to trans
OLga [1]

Answer:

The volume you need to transfer from the stock solution is 0.145 l

Explanation:

Since the number of moles of lactose in the volume of stock solution that you transfer will be the same as the number of moles of lactose in the final solution, you can use this expression:

number of moles in volume to transfer = number of moles in the final solution

Since number of moles = concentration * volume (if the concentration is expressed in molarity), then:

Ci * Vi = Cf * Vf

where:

Ci = concentration of the stock solution.

Vi = volume of the stock solution to be transferred.

Cf = concentration of the final solution

Vf = volume of the final solution

Then, replacing with the data:

518 mM * Vi = 16.7 mM * 4.5 l

Vi = 16.7 mM * 4.5 l / 518 mM

<u>Vi = 0.145 l or 145 ml</u>

Notice that any concentration unit can be used, as long as the units of the concentration of the stock and final solution are the same.

Proton-alpha: "One time I lived in an environment where next door lived identical twins, Proton-beta-1 and Proton-beta-2. Boy, d
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

C) What is the multiplicity of Proton-alpha's signal in this scenario when there are 2 identical protons "next door"?

Based on n+1 rule. Here n=2 (identical beta protons).

2+1=3

So the multiplicity of alpha proton is triplet, .

D) For molecules containing only single bonds (we'll discuss the influence of double bonds in a future lecture), what is the adjective that describes the position of protons that split a "next door neighbor's" signal?

    The meaning of the adjective is this: the multiplicity of beta protons is singlet only (no spliting) in absence of alpha proton . But beta protons splits as doublet (n=1) in the presence of alpha proton,

E) How many bonds connect these "splitting next door neighbors"?

There are 3 bonds in between alpha and beta protons in a molecule.

F) What is the multiplicity of the Proton-betas' signal?

Following the  n+1 rule, here n=1 (1 alpha proton) so 1+1=2. Hence it is  a doublet.
