Answer:
The equilibrium partial pressure of O2 is 0.545 atm
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Partial pressure of SO2 = 0.409 atm
Partial pressure of O2 = 0.601 atm
At equilibrium, the partial pressure of SO2 was 0.297 atm.
Step 2: The balanced equation
2SO2 + O2 ⇆ 2SO3
Step 3: The initial pressure
pSO2 = 0.409 atm
pO2 = 0.601 atm
pSO3 = 0 atm
Step 4: Calculate the pressure at the equilibrium
pSO2 = 0.409 - 2X atm
pO2 = 0.601 - X atm
pSO3 = 2X
pSO2 = 0.409 - 2X atm = 0.297
X = 0.056 atm
pO2 = 0.601 - 0.056 = 0.545 atm
pSO3 = 2*0.056 = 0.112 atm
Step 5: Calculate Kp
Kp = (pSO3)²/((pO2)*(pSO2)²)
Kp = (0.112²) / (0.545 * 0.297²)
Kp = 0.261
The equilibrium partial pressure of O2 is 0.545 atm
Is this a multiple answer?
The average atomic weight is, from the name itself, the average weight of all its naturally occurring isotopes. All you have to do is multiple the abundance of each isotope with its individual mass, then add them altogether.
Mass = (0.10*55)+(0.15*56)+(.75*57)
<em>Mass = 56.65 amu</em>
