Answer:

5.9x10^-2 M

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Concentration of CO, [CO] = 0.30 M

Concentration of H2, [H2] = 0.10 M

Concentration of H2O, [H2O] = 0.020 M

Equilibrium constant, K = 3.90

Concentration of CH4, [CH4] =..?

Step 2:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CO(g) + 3H2(g) <=> CH4(g) + H2O(g)

Step 3:

Determination of the concentration of CH4.

The expression for equilibrium constant of the above equation is given below:

K = [CH4] [H2O] / [CO] [H2]^3

3.9 = [CH4] x 0.02/ 0.3 x (0.1)^3

Cross multiply to express in linear form

[CH4] x 0.02= 3.9 x 0.3 x (0.1)^3

Divide both side by 0.02

[CH4] = 3.9 x 0.3 x (0.1)^3 /0.02

[CH4] = 5.9x10^-2 M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of CH4 is 5.9x10^-2 M

JulsSmile [24]

Using boyles law
p1v1=p2v2
v1=3.88
v2=5.43
p1=707
p2=?
707x3.88=p2x5.43
2743.16/5.43=p2

How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react with 1 Mole of sulphuric acid?

Paul [167]

Answer:

Two moles.

Explanation:

Sulphuric (sulfuric) acid $\rm H_2SO_4$ is a diprotic acid. When one mole of $\rm H_2SO_4$ molecules dissolve in water, two moles of $\rm H^{+}$ ions would be produced.

$\rm H_2SO_4 \to 2\, H^{+} + {SO_4}^{2-}$ .

On the other hand, sodium hydroxide $\rm NaOH$ is a monoprotic base. When one mole of $\rm NaOH$ formula units dissolve in water, only one mole of hydroxide ions $\rm OH^{-}$ would be produced.

$\rm NaOH \to Na^{+} + OH^{-}$ .

Note that $\rm H^{+}$ and $\rm OH^{-}$ react at a one-to-one ratio:

$\rm H^{+} + OH^{-} \to H_2O$ .

As a result, it would take $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm OH^{-}$ to react with the $\rm 2\; mol$ of $\rm H^{+}$ that was released when $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2SO_4$ is dissolved in water. Since one mole of $\rm NaOH$ formula units could produce only one mole of $\rm OH^{-}$ , it would take $\rm 2\; mol$ of $\rm NaOH$ formula units to produce that $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm OH^{-}$ for reacting with $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2SO_4$ .
