Answer:

a. Kp=1.4

P_{A}=0.2215 atm

P_{B}=0.556 atm

b.Kp=2.0 * 10^-4

P_{A}=0.495atm

P_{B}=0.00995 atm

c.Kp=2.0 * 10^5

P_{A}=5*10^{-6}atm

P_{B}=0.9999 atm

Explanation:

For the reaction  

A(g)⇌2B(g)

Kp is defined as:

Kp=\frac{(P_{B})^{2}}{P_{A}}

The conditions in the system are:

          A                    B

initial   0                1 atm

equilibrium x       1atm-2x

At the beginning, we don’t have any A in the system, so B starts to react to produce A until the system reaches the equilibrium producing x amount of A. From the stoichiometric relationship in the reaction we get that to produce x amount of A we need to 2x amount of B so in the equilibrium we will have 1 atm – 2x of B, as it is showed in the table.    

Replacing these values in the expression for Kp we get:

Kp=\frac{(1-2x)^{2}}{x}

Working with this equation:

x*Kp=(1-2x)^{2} - -> x*Kp=4x^{2}-4x+1- - >4x^{2}-(4+Kp)*x+1=0

This last expression is quadratic expression with a=4, b=-(4+Kp) and c=1

The general expression to solve these kinds of equations is:

x=\frac{-b(+-)*\sqrt{(b^{2}-4ac)}}{2a} (equation 1)

We just take the positive values from the solution since negative partial pressures don´t make physical sense.

Kp = 1.4

x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)+\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=1.128

x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)-\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=0.2215

With x1 we get a partial pressure of:

P_{A}=1.128 atm

P_{B}=1-2*1.128 = -1.256 atm

Since negative partial pressure don´t make physical sense x1 is not the solution for the system.

With x2 we get:

P_{A}=0.2215 atm

P_{B}=1-2*0.2215 = 0.556 atm

These partial pressures make sense so x2 is the solution for the equation.

We follow the same analysis for the other values of Kp.

Kp=2*10^-4

X1=0.505

X2=0.495

With x1

P_{A}=0.505atm

P_{B}=1-2*0.505 = -0.01005 atm

Not sense.

With x2

P_{A}=0.495atm

P_{B}=1-2*0.495 = 0.00995 atm

X2 is the solution for this equation.  

Kp=2*10^5

X1=50001

X2=5*10^{-6}

With x1

P_{A}=50001atm

P_{B}=1-2*50001=-100001atm

Not sense.

With x2

P_{A}= 5*10^{-6}atm

P_{B}=1-2*5*10^{-6}= 0.9999 atm

X2 is the solution for this equation.

What is the molality of a solution in which 0.42 moles aluminum chloride has been dissolved in 4200 water ?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

0.1 M

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Molarity refers to the concentration of a solution in moles per liter.
  • It is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the volume of solvent;
  • Molarity = Moles of the solute ÷ Volume of the solvent

<u>In this case, we are given;</u>

  • Number of moles of the solute, NH₄Cl as 0.42 moles
  • Volume of the solvent, water as 4200 mL or 4.2 L

Therefore;

Molarity = 0.42 moles ÷ 4.2 L

            = 0.1 mol/L or 0.1 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution will be 0.1 M

PLEASE HELP!!
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

1. 136 °C.

2. 0.21 atm.

Explanation:

1. Determination of the new temperature in °C.

Initial volume (V1) = 1.35L

Final volume (V2) = 1.95L

Initial temperature (T1) = 283 K

Final temperature (T2) =...?

Using the Charles' law equation, the new temperature of the gas can be obtained as follow:

V1 /T1 = V2 /T2

1.35/283 = 1.95/T2

Cross multiply

1.35 × T2 = 283 × 1.95

1.35 × T2 = 551.85

Divide both side by 1.35

T2 = 551.85/1.35

T2 = 408.8 ≈ 409 K

Finally, we shall convert 409 K to °C. This can be obtained as follow:

T (°C) = T(K) – 273

T(K) = 409 K

T (°C) = 409 – 273

T (°C) = 136 °C

Therefore, the new temperature of the gas is 136 °C.

2. Determination of the new pressure.

Initial pressure (P1) = 1.34 atm

Initial volume (V1) = 267 mL

Final volume (V2) = 1.67 L

Final pressure (P2) =.?

Next, we shall convert 1.67 L to millilitres (mL). This can be obtained as follow:

1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore,

1.67 L = 1.67 L × 1000 mL / 1 L

1.67 L = 1670 mL

Therefore, 1.67 L is equivalent to 1670 mL.

Finally, we shall determine the new pressure of the gas as follow:

Initial pressure (P1) = 1.34 atm

Initial volume (V1) = 267 mL

Final volume (V2) = 1670 mL

Final pressure (P2) =.?

P1V1 = P2V2

1.34 × 267 = P2 × 1670

357.78 = P2 × 1670

Divide both side by 1670.

P2 = 357.78 / 1670

P2 = 0.21 atm.

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas is 0.21 atm.

Which option accurately describes the first two stages of photosynthesis?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer;

A) Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic compounds such as simple sugars together with release of oxygen.

-The process occurs in tow stages; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. During light dependent stage, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms. In the light independent stage carbon (iv) dioxide is fixed and the result is organic compound; the light energy is converted to chemical energy.

What are the uses of carbon-14?
Gelneren [198K]

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope used to date organic material. Its consistent rate of decay allows the age of an object to be determined by the proportion of carbon-14 to other carbon isotopes. This process is called radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is also used as a radioactive tracer for medical tests.
