Answer: The starting pressure of CCl_4 is 1.39 atm.

Explanation:

   CCl_4\rightleftharpoons C(s)+ 2Cl_2

Initial  p                     0  0

eq'm   p-x                    0  2x  

Total pressure at equilibrium = p - x + 2x = p + x = 1.9...(1)

K_p=0.76=\frac{p_{C}\times p^2_{Cl_2}}{p_{CCl_4}}=\frac{0\times(2x)^2}{p-x}

K_p=0.76=\frac{4x^2}{p-x} ...(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2). we get x = 0.51

p + x = 1.9

p= 1.9 - 0.51 = 1.39 atm

The starting pressure of CCl_4 is 1.39 atm.

The starting pressure of {\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}} is \boxed{1.46{\text{ atm}}}.

Further explanation:

Chemical equilibrium is the state in which the concentration of reactants and products become constant and do not change with time. This is because the rate of forward and backward direction becomes equal. The general equilibrium reaction is as follows:

{\text{P(g)}}+{\text{Q(g)}}\rightleftharpoons{\text{R(g)}}+{\text{S(g)}}

Equilibrium constant in terms of pressure:

It is defined as the ratio of partial pressures of products and that of reactants, both raised to some power that is equal to their respective coefficients in a balanced chemical equation. It is denoted by {{\text{K}}_{\text{p}}}

Consider a general balanced reaction,

{\text{aA}}\left(g\right)+{\text{bB}}\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons{\text{cC}}\left(g\right)+{\text{dD}}\left(g\right)

The formula to calculate {{\text{K}}_{\text{p}}} is as follows:

{{\text{K}}_{\text{p}}}=\frac{{{{\left[ {{{\text{P}}_{\text{C}}}}\right]}^{\text{c}}}{{\left[{{{\text{P}}_{\text{D}}}}\right]}^{\text{d}}}}}{{{{\left[{{{\text{P}}_{\text{A}}}}\right]}^{\text{a}}}{{\left[{{{\text{P}}_{\text{B}}}}\right]}^{\text{b}}}}}

Here,

{{\text{P}}_{\text{C}}} and {{\text{P}}_{\text{D}}} are the partial pressures of C and D respectively.

{{\text{P}}_{\text{A}}} and {{\text{P}}_{\text{B}}} are the partial pressures of A and B respectively.

a and b are the stoichiometric coefficients of A and B respectively.

c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of C and D respectively.

The decomposition of {\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}} occurs as follows:

{\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons {\text{C}}\left(s\right)+2{\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}\left(g\right)

Consider the change in equilibrium pressure to be x. Therefore, after decomposition, the pressure of {\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}} and {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_2} are p-x and 2p respectively.

The total pressure at equilibrium can be calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}{\text{Total pressure}}&=\left( {{\text{p}}-{\text{x}}}\right)+2{\text{x}}\\&={\text{p}}+{\text{x}}\\\end{aligned}

But total pressure at equilibrium is 1.9 atm. So the above equation becomes,

{\text{p}}+{\text{x}}={\text{1}}{\text{.9}}                      ...... (1)

Rearrange equation (1) to calculate p.

{\text{p}}={\text{1}}{\text{.9}}-{\text{x}}               ...... (2)

The formula to calculate the equilibrium constant for the given reaction is as follows:

{{\text{K}}_{\text{p}}}=\frac{{{{\left( {{{\text{P}}_{{\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}}}} \right)}^2}}}{{{{\text{P}}_{{\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}}}}}                   ...... (3)

Here,

{{\text{K}}_{\text{p}}} is the equilibrium constant.

{{\text{P}}_{{\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}}} is the pressure of {\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}.

{{\text{P}}_{{\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}}} is the pressure of {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_2}.

Substitute 0.76 for {{\text{K}}_{\text{p}}}, 2p for {{\text{P}}_{{\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}}} and p-x for {{\text{P}}_{{\text{CC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}}} in equation (1).

{\text{0}}{\text{.76}} = \frac{{{{\left( {{\text{2x}}} \right)}^2}}}{{\left( {{\text{p}} - {\text{x}}} \right)}}             ...... (4)

Substitute value of p from equation (2) in equation (4).

\begin{aligned}{\text{0}}{\text{.76}}&=\frac{{{{\left({{\text{2x}}}\right)}^2}}}{{\left\{{\left({{\text{1}}{\text{.9}}-{\text{x}}}\right)-{\text{x}}}\right\}}}\hfill\\{\text{0}}{\text{.76}}&=\frac{{4{{\text{x}}^2}}}{{1.9-2{\text{x}}}}\hfill\\\end{aligned}

Simplifying the above equation,

4{{\text{x}}^2}+1.52{\text{x}}-1.444=0

Solve for x,

x=0.44

Substitute 0.44 for x in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}{\text{p}}&={\text{1}}{\text{.9}}-{\text{0}}{\text{.44}}\\&={\text{1}}{\text{.46}}\\\end{aligned}

Therefore the starting pressure of {\mathbf{CC}}{{\mathbf{l}}_{\mathbf{4}}} is 1.46 atm.

How many moles of glucose are in 19.1g of glucose?​
Crank

Answer:

0.106 mol (3s.f.)

Explanation:

To find the number of moles, divide the mass of glucose (in grams) by its Mr. Glucose has a chemical formula of C6H12O6. To find the Mr, add all the Ar of all the atoms in C6H12O6.

Ar of C= 12, Ar of H= 1, Mr of O= 16

These Ar values can be found on the periodic table.

Mr of glucose= 6(12)+ 12(1) + 6(16)= 180

Moles of glucose

= mass ÷ mr

= 19.1 ÷ 180

= 0.106 mol (3 s.f.)

a researcher obtains a sample of 0.070 M nitrate solition. A 20.0 mL aliquote of the nitrate solution is added to 10.0 mL of amm
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution = 0.007 M

Explanation:

Given:

Concentration nitrate solution = 0.070 m

Volume of aliquote of the nitrate solution is add = 10.0 ml

Total volume = 100 ml

Find:

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution

Computation:

Number of M. mole = 0.070 m x 10.0 ml

Number of M. mole = 0.7 m-moles

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution = 0.7 m-moles / 100 ml

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution = 0.007 M

Cu + 2AgNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

m_{Ag}=135.8gAg

Y=88.4\%

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the described chemical reaction, it is possible to compute the theoretical mass of silver as mass via the 1:2 mole ratio of copper to silver and their atomic mass in the periodic table, in order to perform the following stoichiometric setup:

m_{Ag}=40.gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.55gCu}*\frac{2molAg}{1molCu}*\frac{107.87gAg}{1molAg}\\\\   m_{Ag}=135.8gAg

Next, given the actual yield of 120 g, we compute the percent yield via:

Y=\frac{120g}{135.8g}*100\%\\\\Y=88.4\%

Regards!
