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 1.5 L flask with 0.59 atm of sulfur dioxide gas and 2.9 atm of oxygen gas at 35.0 °C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of sulfur trioxide gas to be 0.53 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:

P SO₂ = 0.06atm

P O₂ = 2.635atm

P SO₃ = 0.53atm

Kp = 29.6

Explanation:

The reaction of Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide is as follows:

2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2SO₃(g)

And Kp is defined as:

Kp = \frac{P_{SO_3}^2}{P_{SO_2}^2P_{O_2}}

Where P represents the pressure at equilibrium of each reactant.

If you add, in the first, 0.59atm of SO₂ and 2.9atm of O₂, the equilibrium pressures will be:

P SO₂ = 0.59atm - 2X

P O₂ = 2.9atm - X

P SO₃ = 2X

<em>Where X represents the reaction coordiante.</em>

<em />

As equilibrium pressure of SO₃ is 0.53atm:

0.53atm = 2X

0.265atm = X

Replacing, equilibrium pressures of each species will be:

P SO₂ = 0.59atm - 2×0.265atm

P O₂ = 2.9atm - 0.265atm

P SO₃ = 2×0.265atm

<h3>P SO₂ = 0.06atm</h3><h3>P O₂ = 2.635atm</h3><h3>P SO₃ = 0.53atm</h3><h3 />

And Kp will be:

Kp = \frac{P_{SO_3}^2}{P_{SO_2}^2P_{O_2}}

Kp = \frac{0.53^2}{{0.06}^2*{2.635}}

<h3>Kp = 29.6</h3>

a sample of solid is decomposed and found to contain 6.52g of potassium, 4.34 g of chromium and 5.34 of oxygen, what is the empi
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

K₂CrO₅

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. To find the empirical formula, we follow the procedure below:

Elements                         Potassium                 Chromium         Oxygen

Mass                                  6.52                             4.34                  5.34

Molar mass                          39                               60                      16

Number of moles             6.52/39                     4.34/60             5.34/16

                                             0.167                          0.072              0.333

Divide through by

the smallest                      0.167/0.072             0.072/0.072          0.333/0.072

                                            2.3                               1                                4.6

Which of the following characteristics describes aerobic organisms.
horsena [70]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Aerobic organisms are the organisms which survive and grow in the presence of oxygen.

When oxidation of glucose occurs in the presence of oxygen then it is known as aerobic respiration.

In aerobic respiration, food releases energy to produce ATP which is necessary for cell activity. There is complete breakdown of glucose in aerobic respiration that is why more energy is released. Therefore, aerobic organisms become active.

Thus, we can conclude that characteristics very active, efficient use of energy describes aerobic organisms.
