Answer:

Explanation:

a transverse wave is a moving wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

A simple example is given by the waves that can be created on a horizontal length of string by anchoring one end and moving the other end up and down.

Another example is the waves that are created on the membrane of a drum. The waves propagate in directions that are parallel to the membrane plane, but the membrane itself gets displaced up and down, perpendicular to that plane.

Light is another example of a transverse wave, where the oscillations are the electric and magnetic fields, which point at right angles to the ideal light rays that describe the direction of propagation.

The initial pressure of a mixture of C6H6 and an excess of H2 in a rigid vessel is 1.21 atm. A catalyst is introduced. After the

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

mole fraction of C6H6 = 0.613 atm

Explanation:

The equation for this reaction is :

$C_6H_6 _{(g)} + 3H_2_{(g)} \to C_6H_{12}_{(g)}$

Initial P₁ P₂ 0

Final 0 P₂ -P₁/2 P₁

After completion of the reaction;

P₁ + P₂ = 1.21 atm ----- (1)

P₂ - P₁/2 + P₁ = 0.839 atm

P₂ + P₁/2 = 0.839 atm ----- (2)

Subtracting (2) from (1); we have:

P₁/2 = 0.371

P₁ = 0.742 atm

From(1)

P₁ + P₂ = 1.21 atm

0.742 atm + P₂ = 1.21 atm

P₂ = 1.21 atm - 0.742 atm

P₂ = 0.468 atm

Thus, the partial pressure of C6H6 = 0.742 atm

∴

Partial pressure = Total pressure × mole fraction of C6H6

mole fraction of C6H6 = Partial pressure / Total pressure

mole fraction of C6H6 = 0.742 atm / 1.21 atm

mole fraction of C6H6 = 0.613 atm

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) is equal to the product of the partial pressure of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the partial pressure of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Kp = pH₂ × pCl₂ / pHCl²

Kp = 77.9 × 54.4 / 84.4²

Kp = 0.595
