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

The correct sequence where reactivity towards oxygen increases.
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Option D is good to go!

Explanation: as per the reactivity series more reactive substances will react with the counterpart substance.The most reactive substance here is calcium while the least reactive is aluminium, the magnesium comes in between.As per their reactivity, these substances will react with oxygen.

14. What volume (mL) of water do I need to add to 425
Reptile [31]

Answer:

212.5 mL

both the original and the diluted solution have 0.765 moles of KCl

Explanation:

c1V1 = c2V2

V2 = c1V1/c2 = (1.8 M×425 mL)/1.2 M = 637.5 mL

(637.5 - 425) mL = 212.5 mL

n = (1.8 mol/L)(0.425 L) = 0.765 moles of KCl

since it's a dilution, the diluted solution has the same number of moles as the original solution, 0.765 moles of KCl
