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.

What is homogeneous mixture?
Nataly [62]

A mixture is a portion of matter made up of two or more substances called constituents. Mixtures are the product of the mechanical joining of substances without change in chemical nature, and therefore, each constituent retains its properties.

Which of the following numerical expressions gives the number of particles in 2.0 g of Ne?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Number of particles = 2.0 g*(6.0 x 10^23 particles/mol) / 20.18 g/mol

Option C is correct

Explanation:

Step 1: Data give

Mass of Ne = 2.0 grams

Molar mass of neon = 20.18 g/mol

Number of Avogadro = 6.0 *10^23 /mol

Step 2: Calculate number of moles of neon

Moles Ne = Mass of ne / Molar mass of ne

Moles Ne = 2.0 / 20.18 g/mol

Moles Ne = 0.099 moles

Step 3: Calculate nulber of particles

Number of particles = 6.022*10^23 / mol * 0.099 moles = 5.96 *10^22

Number of particles = 6.022*10^23 * (2.0g/ 20.18g/mol)

Number of particles = 2.0 g*(6.0 x 10^23 particles/mol) / 20.18 g/mol

Option C is correct
