Answer:

A. -166.6 kJ/mol

B. -127.7 kJ/mol

C. -133.9 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the oxidation of sulfur dioxide.

2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₃(g)     ΔG° = -141.8 kJ

The Gibbs free energy (ΔG) can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔG = ΔG° + R.T.lnQ

where,

ΔG° is the standard Gibbs free energy

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature (25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K)

Q is the reaction quotient

The molar concentration of each gas ([]) can be calculated from its pressure (P) using the following expression:

[]=\frac{P}{R.T}

<em>Calculate ΔG at 25°C given the following sets of partial pressures.</em>

<em>Part A  130atm SO₂, 130atm O₂, 2.0atm SO₃. Express your answer using four significant figures.</em>

[SO_{2}]=[O_{2}]=\frac{130atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K} =5.32M

[SO_{3}]=\frac{2.0atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K} =0.0818M

Q=\frac{[SO_3]^{2} }{[SO_{2}]^{2}.[O_{2}] } =\frac{0.0818^{2} }{5.32^{3} } =4.44 \times 10^{-5}

ΔG = ΔG° + R.T.lnQ = -141.8 kJ/mol + (8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K) × 298 K × ln (4.44 × 10⁻⁵) = -166.6 kJ/mol

<em>Part B  5.0atm SO₂, 3.0atm O₂, 30atm SO₃  Express your answer using four significant figures.</em>

<em />

[SO_{2}]=\frac{5.0atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K}=0.204M

[O_{2}]=\frac{3.0atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K}=0.123M

[SO_{3}]=\frac{30atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K}=1.23M

Q=\frac{[SO_3]^{2} }{[SO_{2}]^{2}.[O_{2}] } =\frac{1.23^{2} }{0.204^{2}.0.123 } =296

ΔG = ΔG° + R.T.lnQ = -141.8 kJ/mol + (8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K) × 298 K × ln 296 = -127.7 kJ/mol

<em>Part C Each reactant and product at a partial pressure of 1.0 atm.  Express your answer using four significant figures.</em>

<em />

[SO_{2}]=[O_{2}]=[SO_{3}]=\frac{1.0atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K}=0.0409M

Q=\frac{[SO_3]^{2} }{[SO_{2}]^{2}.[O_{2}] } =\frac{0.0409^{2} }{0.0409^{3}} =24.4

ΔG = ΔG° + R.T.lnQ = -141.8 kJ/mol + (8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K) × 298 K × ln 24.4 = -133.9 kJ/mol

In the given above, we have two densities which are 0.89 g/mL and 0.72 g/mL. We are also given that the liquids are immiscible. After the settlement of the liquids, they will form two layers.

The heavier substance, the one which has a higher density will be at the bottom and the lighter substance, the one which has a lower density will be at the top layer.

A cylindrical glass tube of length 27.4cm and radius 4 cm is filled with gas. The empty tube has a mass of 254.3 g. The tube fil
Temka [501]

Density of the gas is 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Volume of the cylinder = π r² h

where r is the radius and h is the height of the height or the length of the glass tube.

Here r = 4 cm and h = 27.4 cm

Volume of the cylinder = 3.14 × 4 × 4 × 27.4 = 1376.6 cm³

We have to find the mass of the gas by subtracting the mass of the tube filled with the substance from the mass of the empty tube.

Mass of the substance = 258.5 - 254.3 = 4.2 g

We have to find the density using the formula as,

$ Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Plugin the values as,

$ Density = \frac{4.2}{1376.6}

              = 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³

So the Density of the gas is 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³.
