The balanced equation for the reaction is
CO(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ CH₃<span>OH(g)
Since given concentrations are at equilibrium state, the expression for the equilibrium constant, k can be written as
k = [</span>CH₃OH(g)] / [CO(g)] [H₂(g) ]²
By substitution,
k = 0.030 M / 0.020 M x (<span>0.072 M</span>)²
k = 289.35 M⁻²
Answer:
Mass = 2.89 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of NH₄Cl = 8.939 g
Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 7.48 g
Mass of ammonia produced = ?
Solution:
2NH₄Cl + Ca(OH)₂ → CaCl₂ + 2NH₃ + 2H₂O
Number of moles of NH₄Cl:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 8.939 g / 53.5 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.17 mol
Number of moles of Ca(OH)₂ :
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 7.48 g / 74.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.10 mol
Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with both reactant.
NH₄Cl : NH₃
2 : 2
0.17 : 0.17
Ca(OH)₂ : NH₃
1 : 2
0.10 : 2/1×0.10 = 0.2 mol
Less number of moles of ammonia are produced by ammonium chloride it will act as limiting reactant.
Mass of ammonia:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.17 mol × 17 g/mol
Mass = 2.89 g
I'd go for D here. It also fits in with the idea of thermal expansion - as something is heated up, molecules vibrate and maybe collide. they vibrate with bigger amplitudes, so taking up more space, so expanding. maybe
