What is the difference between the mass number for carbon- 14 and carbon's atomic number of 12.011 amu

1 answer:

7 0

Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.

Answer:

$6.25\times 10^{-6}$ is the value of the equilibrium constant at this temperature.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure is defined as the ratio of partial pressures of products to the partial pressures of reactants each raised to the power equal to their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{p}$

$2H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$

Partial pressures at equilibrium:

$p^o_{H_2O}=0.070 atm$

$p^o_{H_2}=0.0035 atm$

$p^o_{O_2}=0.0025 atm$

The equilibrium constant in terms of pressures is given as:

$K_p=\frac{(p^o_{H_2})^2\times (p^o_{O_2})}{(p^o_{H_2O})62}$

$K_p=\frac{(0.0035 atm)^2\times 0.0025 atm}{(0.070 atm)^2}=6.25\times 10^{-6}$

$6.25\times 10^{-6}$ is the value of the equilibrium constant at this temperature.
