In the coal-gasification process, carbon monoxide is converted to carbon dioxide via the following reaction: CO (g) + H2O (g) ⇌

CO2 (g) + H2 (g) In an experiment, 0.35 mol of CO and 0.40 mol of H2O were placed in a 1.00-L reaction vessel. At equilibrium, there were 0.18 mol of CO remaining. Keq at the temperature of the experiment is ________.

Answer: Equilibrium constant is 0.70.

Explanation:

Initial moles of  CO = 0.35 mole

Volume of container = 1 L

Initial concentration of CO=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.35moles}{1L}=0.35M

Initial moles of  H_2O = 0.40 mole

Volume of container = 1 L

Initial concentration of H_2O=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.40moles}{1L}=0.40M

equilibrium concentration of CO=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.18moles}{1L}=0.18M [/tex]

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)

Initial conc.            0.35 M       0.40M       0     0

At eqm. conc.    (0.35-x) M   (0.40-x) M   (x) M    (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[CO_2]\times [H_2O]}{[CO]\times [H_2O]}

K_c=\frac{x\times x}{(0.40-x)(0.35-x)}

we are given : (0.35-x)= 0.18

x = 0.17

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

K_c=\frac{0.17\times 0.17}{(0.40-0.17)(0.35-0.17)}

K_c=0.70

Thus the value of the equilibrium constant is 0.70.

Mazyrski [523]
<span>1. The two qualities used to describe winds are direction and speed.
2. a local wind that blows during the day from an ocean toward land is a(n) sea breeze.
3. The increase in cooling that wind can cause is called the wind-chill factor.
4. Temperature differences between the equator and poles produce convection currents.
A movement that is parallel to Earth's Surface is called wind and a local wind is that wind that blows over a short distance.</span>

the air pressure from the atmosphere measures 0.5atm at an altitude of 18,000 ft. How much pressure is this in pounds per square
Julli [10]

14.7lb/in²

Explanation:

This is a conversion problem from atm to pounds per square inch

Pressure is the combined force per unit area of substance on another.

Given pressure = 0.5atm

To solve this problem ;

Convert from atm to N/m² to pound per square inch

    1 atm = 101325N/m²

  0.5atm = 0.5 x 101325 = 50,662.5‬N/m²

now we need to convert to pound per square inch;

     1N  = 0.225lb

     1m = 39.37in

Solving;

 101325 Nx \frac{1}{m^{2} }  x \frac{0.225lb}{1N }  x \frac{m^{2} }{39.37in x 39.37in} = 14.7lb/in²
