NiO is to be reduced to nickel metal in an industrial process by use of the reaction:NiO(s) + CO(g) <-----> Ni(s) + CO2(g)

At 1600K the equilibrium constant for the reaction is kp = 6.0 x 10^2. If a CO pressure of 150 torr is to be employed in the furnace and total pressure never exceeds 760 torr, will reduction occur?

Answer:

The reaction will occur, in the forward direction, and NiO will be reduced to Ni

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kp = 6.0 * 10²

Pressure of CO = 150 torr

Total pressure never exceeds 760 torr

Step 2: The balanced equation:

NiO(s) + CO(g) ⇆ Ni(s) + CO2(g)

Step 3: Calculate P(CO) and P(CO2)

For this equilibrium, the expression for Kp is:

Kp = P(CO2)/P(CO) = 6.0*10^2

(NiO and Ni are solids so do not change anything to the Kp

⇒ with P(CO) = 150 torr

⇒ P(CO) = 760 - 150 = 610 torr

Step 4: Calculate the reaction quotient

Q = 610/150 = 4.1

Q<<< Kp

There are more reactants than products. As a result, some of the reactants will become products, causing the reaction to shift to the right.

This means the reaction will proceed in the forward direction, and NiO will be reduced to Ni.

Olin [163]

The equilibrium constant k is actually the ratio of the concentration of the products over the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. So if the concentration of products < concentration of reactants, therefore the constant k will be small. But if the concentration of products > concentration of reactants, the constant k will be large. In this case the value is too small (x10^-19), therefore we can say that the reaction favors the reactant side:

 

the equilibrium lies far to the left

If 19.7 g of AlI3 is actually produced, what is the percentage yield? <br> 2 Al + 3 I2 → 2 AlI3
tatuchka [14]
<span>The formula actual yield / theoretical yield is used to calculate the percent yield of a reaction. This value is a measure of how much product is produced relative to the what is supposed to be produced. It seems that the given in the problem is incomplete so we cannot really give a specific value. </span>

Answer:

1) chemical property

2) physical property

3) chemical property

4) physical property

Explanation:

Physical properties:

Physical properties are those properties which can be measured without changing the composition of mater. We can observe the object and tell its physical properties like its texture, physical appearance, color, melting point, boiling point, odor, density etc.

Chemical properties:

Chemical properties involve chemical reaction or we can say that change is happen in mater during chemical reaction and the properties, we measured  during this or as a result of this reaction is called chemical properties. Like flammability, toxicity, combustion, decomposition etc.

1) Water can split into hydrogen and oxygen

chemical property

2) water is liquid at room temperature

physical property

3) water react with certain metals

chemical property

4)The density of water is 1.0 g/cm³

physical property
