Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. An industrial ch

emist studying this reaction fills a 50.0L tank with 14. mol of sulfur dioxide gas and 2.6 mol of oxygen gas, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.6 mol. Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The equation for the reaction can be represented as:

2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3

The I.C.E table can be represented as:

                     2SO₂              O₂                   2SO₃

Initial:             14                  2.6                     0

Change:        -2x                -x                      +2x

Equilibrium:   14 - 2x          2.6 - x                2x

However, Since the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.6 mol.

SO₃ = 2x,

then x = 1.6/2

x = 0.8 mol

For 2SO₂; we have 14 - 2x

= 14 - 2(0.8)

= 14 - 1.6

= 12.4 mol

For O₂; we have 2.6 - x

= 2.6 - 1.6

= 1.0 mol

Thus;

[SO₂] = moles / volume = ( 12.4/50) = 0.248 M ,

[O₂] = 1/50 = 0.02 M ,  

[SO₃] = 1.6/50 = 0.032 M

Kc = [SO₃]² / [SO₂]² [O₂]

= ( 0.032²) / ( 0.248² x 0.02)

= 0.8325

Recall that; the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3 = 0.8325;

If we want to find:

SO_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to SO_3

Then:

K_c = (0.8325)^{1/2}

\mathbf{K_c = 0.912}

Since no temperature is given to use in the question, it will be impossible to find the final temperature of the mixture.

Which water source becomes polluted as it travels over the earth?
never [62]

Run off

Explanation:

Run-off are the water sources that becomes polluted as they travel over the earth surface.

Surface run-off are water that moves on the earth surface. This water is a component of the water cycle which usually originate from precipitation.

  • As the water moves through different terrain it comes into contact with different pollutants.
  • Some of these run-off travels through mines, waste disposal sites among others.
  • This leads to the contamination of this form of water as it moves through these earth materials.
  • They are the most polluted water
