Answer:
Here's what I find
Explanation:
Mercerization involves the treating of cotton fibres with NaOH solution and then drying them under tension.
The process changes the internal structure of the fibres and causes them to swell.
The advantages of mercerization are:
- Greater affinity for dyes (saves money)
- Increased tensile strength
- A high degree of lustre (better appearance)
- Greater absorption of moisture (e.g., sweat)
- Greater resistance to shrinking

Answer:
1.65 L
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction is given as:
A + B ⇄ C
where;
numbers of moles = 0.386 mol C (g)
Volume = 7.29 L
Molar concentration of C =
= 0.053 M
A + B ⇄ C
Initial 0 0 0.530
Change +x +x - x
Equilibrium x x (0.0530 - x)
where
K is given as ; 78.2 atm-1.
So, we have:
Using quadratic formula;
where; a = 78.2 ; b = 1 ; c= - 0.0530
= or
= or
= 0.0204 or -0.0332
Going by the positive value; we have:
x = 0.0204
[A] = 0.0204
[B] = 0.0204
[C] = 0.0530 - x
= 0.0530 - 0.0204
= 0.0326
Total number of moles at equilibrium = 0.0204 + 0.0204 + 0.0326
= 0.0734
Finally, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder at equilibrium using the ideal gas; PV =nRT
if we make V the subject of the formula; we have:
where;
P (pressure) = 1 atm
n (number of moles) = 0.0734 mole
R (rate constant) = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K
T = 273.15 K (fixed constant temperature )
V (volume) = ???
V = 1.64604
V ≅ 1.65 L
