A mixture of water and graphite is heated to 600 K in a 1 L container. When the system comes to equilibrium it contains 0.17 mol

of H2, 0.17 mol of CO, 0.74 mol of H2O, and some graphite. Some O2 is added to the system and a spark is applied so that the H2 reacts completely with the O2.
Find the amount of CO in the flask when the system returns to equilibrium.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

0.44 moles

Explanation:

Given that :

A mixture of water and graphite is heated to 600 K in a 1 L container. When the system comes to equilibrium it contains 0.17 mol of H2, 0.17 mol of CO, 0.74 mol of H2O, and some graphite.

The equilibrium constant K_c=  \dfrac{[CO][H_2]}{[H_2O]}

The equilibrium constant  K_c=  \dfrac{(0.17 )(0.17)}{0.74}

The equilibrium constant K_c=  0.03905

Some O2 is added to the system and a spark is applied so that the H2 reacts completely with the O2.

The equation for the reaction is :

H_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to H_2O \\ \\ 0.17 \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \to0.17

Total mole of water now = 0.74+0.17

Total mole of water now = 0.91 moles

Again:

K_c=  \dfrac{[CO][H_2]}{[H_2O]}

0.03905 =  \dfrac{[0.17+x][x]}{[0.91 -x]}

0.03905(0.91 -x) = (0.17 +x)(x)

0.0355355 - 0.03905x = 0.17x + x²

0.0355355 +0.13095 x -x²

x² - 0.13095 x - 0.0355355 = 0

By using quadratic formula

x = 0.265  or   x = -0.134

Going by the value with the positive integer; x = 0.265 moles

Total moles of CO in the flask when the system returns to equilibrium is :

= 0.17 + x

= 0.17 + 0.265

= 0.435 moles

=0.44 moles (to two significant figures)

The two reactions illustrated in the diagrams below often occur when a foreign substance enters the body.
zheka24 [161]

The specific proteins produced by cell B in response to the foreign substance are antibodies.

<h3>What are antibodies?</h3>

Antibodies are specific proteins produced by the immune cells of the body in response to a foreign substance called antigen which produces the immune response.

Antibodies are released by immune cells such as B cells.

The antibodies bind to antigen and tag them for destruction by phagocytes.

Therefore, cell B will produce antibodies.

How does concentration affect our daily lives in science?​
statuscvo [17]

1. <em>Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction. This occurs because a higher concentration of a reactant will lead to more collisions of that reactant in a specific time period. </em>

<em>2. Physical state of the reactants and surface area.</em>

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

No photoelectric effect is observed for Mercury.

Explanation:

From E= hf

h= Plank's constant

f= frequency of incident light

Threshold Frequency of mercury= 435×10^3/ 6.6×10^-34 × 6.02×10^23

f= 11×10^14 Hz

The highest frequency of visible light is 7.5×10^14. This is clearly less than the threshold frequency of mercury hence no electron is emitted from the mercury surface
