Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. An industrial ch

emist studying this reaction fills a 500. mL flask with 3.3 atm of sulfur dioxide gas and 0.79 atm of oxygen gas at 31.0 °C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of sulfur trioxide gas to be 0.47 atm.Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant for the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

Kp = 0.049

Explanation:

The equilibrium in question is;

2 SO₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)   ⇄ 2 SO₃ (g)  

Kp = p SO₃² / ( p SO₂² x p O₂ )

The initial pressures are given, so lets set up the ICE table for the equilibrium:

atm        SO₂         O₂          SO₃

I              3.3        0.79           0

C              -2x           -x          2x

E             3.3 - 2x    0.79 - x    2x

We are told 2x = partial pressure of SO₃ is 0.47 atm at equilibrium, so we can determine the partial pressures of  SO₂ and O₂ as follows:

p SO₂  = 3.3 -0.47 atm = 2.83 atm

p O₂ = 0.79 - (0.47/2) atm = .56 atm

Now we can calculate Kp:

Kp = 0.47² /[ ( 2.83 )² x 0.56 ] = 0.049 ( rounded to 2 significant figures )

Note that we have extra data in this problem we did not need since once we setup the ICE table for the equilibrium we realize we have all the information needed to solve the question.

A helium-filled weather balloon has a volume of 512 L at 18.9°C and 756 mmHg. It is released and rises to an altitude of 2.14 km
vazorg [7]

633.97 L

Explanation:

Well use the combined gas law;

P₁V₁T₁ = P₂V₂T₂

We need to change the temperatures into Kelvin;

18.9°C= 292.05 K

5.9°C = 279.05 K

756 * 512 * 292.05 = 639 * V₂ * 279.05

113,044,377.6 = 178,312.95 V₂

V₂ = 113,044,377.6 / 178,312.95

V₂ = 633.97 L

Aleks [24]

Answer:CALINE4 Model and Geographical Information System were used for

the present study to predict the CO concentrations and prepare thematic

maps for the study area.

CALINE4 is a latest model that predicts the concentration of carbon

monoxide impacts near the roadways. The California Department of

Transformation (CALTRANS) developed the model and its purpose is to help

planners protect public health from the adverse effects of carbon monoxide.

The model predictions along with the aid of GIS based model help to arrive at

air shed levels of carbon monoxide. CALINE4 is a simple line source

Gaussian plume dispersion model. The user defines the proposed roadway

geometry, worst-case meteorological parameters, anticipated traffic volumes

and receptor positions to predict the concentrations of pollutant.

CALINE4 is graphical with windows based user interface, designed to

ease data entry and increase the online help capabilities. The model was

developed for predicting the concentrations of relatively inert pollutants such

as carbon monoxide and it is now used for several other pollutants like NO2

and SPM. The model is based on fine tuned Gaussian diffusion equation and

it employs mixing zone concept to characterize the pollutant dispersion over

the roadways. Given the exhaust emission concentrations, meteorology and

site geometry, the model can predict the concentration of pollutants for any experimentation

We could reduce soil erosion and recycle phosphorus from farm and human waste so that we could help make food production sustainable and prevent algae blooms. We can also do land reclamation as well to help solve this problem. With the land, we would have to design a system to where the land could be functional again in order to plant crops, trees, also to help the wildlife that was once a part of the island. Therefore if the design is done before the mining then afterward we can do the reclamation of the land which would help the people to be able to function after the mining. It would also help the future generations that come along after the previous generations. Everyone must work together in the process in order for everyone to survive. If all this is done then the people of the island would not have to import their food. The reclamation process is the most important thing that has to be designed first whether it is land, soil, water, lakes, and clay then after plant trees, vegetation, and other forms of plants to help replenish the land after the mining is done.
