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.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different?
Black_prince [1.1K]
Chemical properties of elements are primarily determined by the electrons but not by the neutrons. Therefore, Isotopes can have different number of neutrons and electron,but not protons

What kind of reaction is potassium+ nitrogen
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula KNO3. It is an ionic salt of potassium ions K+ and nitrate ions NO3−, and is therefore an alkali metal nitrate. It occurs in nature as a mineral, niter (or nitre in the UK). It is a source of nitrogen, and nitrogen was named after niter.
