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 difference between a plain and a plateau? A. Only a plain is flat, a plateau is steep mountainside. B. Both are flat
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

<em>Both plain and plateau have flat surfaces. However, a plain is located in a low-lying area while a plateau is located on an elevated area. In essence, a plateau can be viewed as an elevated plain or a plain that is bordered by cliffs.</em>

The correct option is B.

What is the half-life of A? What will the pressure, initially 32.1 kPa, at
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a) 32.09 kPa

b) 32.09 kPa

Explanation:

Given data:

rate constant = 3.56\times 10^{-7} s^{-1}

initial pressure is = 32.1 kPa

half life of A is calculated as

t_{1/2} = \frac{ln 2}{k}

t_{1/2} = \frac{ln 2}{3.56\time 10^{-7}}

t_{1/2} = = 1.956 \times 10^6 s

for calculating pressure we have follwing expression

ln p = ln P_o - kt

P =P_o e^{-kt}

a) P = 32.1 e^{-3.56\times 10^{-7} \times 10} = 32.09 kPa

b) P = 32.1 e^{-3.56\times 10^{-7} \times 10\times 60} = 32.09 kPa
