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 half life of radium-226 is 1600 years. If you have 200 grams of radium today how many grams would be present in 8000 years?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Half life is the time taken by a radio active isotope to reduce by half of its original amount. Radium-226 has a half life of 1602 years meaning that it would take 1602 years for a mass of radium to reduce by half.

Number of half lives in 9612 years = 9612/1602 = 6 half lives

New mass = Original mass x (1/2)n where n is the number of half lives.

Therefore, New mass= 500 x (1/2)∧6

                                 = 500 x 0.015625

                                 = 7.8125 g

Hence the mass of radium after 9612 years will be 7.8125 grams.

A syringe containing 1.63 mL of oxygen gas is cooled from 91.0 ∘C to 0.9 ∘C. What is the final volume Vf of oxygen gas? (Assume
Archy [21]

Answer:

Vf = 1.22 mL

Explanation:

If we assume that the pressure is constant and the number of moles does not change, we can say that the volume of the gas is modified in a directly ratio, to the Absolute Temperature.

Let's convert the values:

91°C + 273 = 364K

0.9°C + 273 = 273.9K

Volume decreases if the temperature is decreases

Volume increases if the T° increases

V₁ / T₁  = V₂ / T₂ → 1.63mL /364K = V₂ / 273.9K

V₂ = (1.63mL /364K) . 273.9K → 1.22 mL

Henry finds an element that is light blue, breaks easily in his hand, and does not reflect light. How should Henry classify the
pshichka [43]

Answer:

The options are not given, here are the options.

metal

a. Metal

b. a metalloid

c. a non-metal

d. a gas

The correct option is C.

Non metal

Explanation:

Henry should classify it as non metals because non metals are substances or elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity they break easily I .e meaning they lack the ducibility of metals, meaning they cannot be stretched, they are brittle, they are not shiny and does not reflect light, they have high electronegativities that is they have atoms that can hold electrons to what they have.
