Heating copper(II) oxide at 400°C does not produce any appreciable amount of Cu: CuO(s) ⇆ Cu(s) + 1 2 O2(g) ΔG o = 127.2 kJ/mol

However, if this reaction is coupled to the conversion of graphite to carbon monoxide, it becomes spontaneous. Write an equation for the coupled process and calculate the equilibrium constant for the coupled reaction. Be sure to include the states of the chemical species.

Explanation:

The reaction is as follows.

          CuS \rightleftharpoons Cu(s) + \frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g)

As, value of \Delta G is positive. Therefore, reaction is non-spontaneous.

     CuO(s) + C(graphite) \rightleftharpoons Cu(s) + CO(g)

     \Delta G = \sum \Delta G_{f}_{product} - \sum \Delta G_{f}_{reactant}

                  = [-137.2 - (127.2 kJ/mol)]

                  = -10 kJ/mol

Since, value of \Delta G is negative here so, reaction is spontaneous.

Also,  \Delta G = -RT ln

where,        R = 8.314 J/mol K

                  T = 400^{o}C = (400 +  273) K = 673 K

                  K = equilibrium constant

       -10 \times 10^{3} J/mol = -8.314 J/mol K \times 673 ln K

           100 = 2.303 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 673 log K

           log K = 0.00776

              K = 1.018

Therefore, we can conclude that equilibrium constant for the coupled reaction is 1.018.

Answer:

CuO(s)Cu(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g);\Delta G^o_1=127.2kJ/mol \\2C(s)+O_2(g)2CO(s);\Delta G^o_2=-137.16kJ/mol

K=5.93

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the coupled process contains the following two chemical reactions:

CuO(s)Cu(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g);\Delta G^o_1=127.2kJ/mol \\2C(s)+O_2(g)2CO(s);\Delta G^o_2=-137.16kJ/mol

By taking the total Gibbs free energy for this coupled reactions:

\Delta G^o_{T}=127.2kJ/mol-137.16kJ/mol=-9.96kJ/mol

In such a way, we compute the equilibrium constant as follows:

K=exp(-\frac{\Delta G^o_{T}}{RT} )=exp(-\frac{(-9960J/mol)}{8.314J/molK*673.15} )\\K=5.93

Best regards.

Consider two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane, as shown in the illustration to the right. The membrane allows the
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The correct movement would be -

1. Water  - into solution A.

2. NaCl  - into solution A.

3. glucose  - into Solution B.

4. Albumin  - neither.

Explanation:

All the substances are separated by the semipermeable membrane and the semipermeable membrane allows the only small molecule to pass through it. So the movement of the given substance would be -

1. Water  - into solution A.

Water molecules are small and can easily pass through the semipermeable membrane as it is given that the solution b has low solute concentration and solution A has high solute concentration. It is known that the movement of the solvent always takes place from low solute concentration to high so the movement of water will be into solution A.

2. NaCl  - into solution A.

The movement of small ionic molecule NaCl is always from high to low concentration as it is given that solution B has high concentration than solution A so movement will take place into solution A.

3. glucose  - into Solution B.

It is also a small molecule and moves from the high glucose region to the low glucose concentration region, in solution A the concentration of glucose is high than solution B so movement would be into solution B.

4. Albumin  - neither.

Albumin is a protein which is macromolecule and large in size to pass through the semipermeable membrane so, albumin move neither solution A nor solution B.

How many cobalt atoms are in 2 moles of cobalt?
Hunter-Best [27]

That means that one mole of cobalt weighs 58.9332 grams (58.9332 g/mol). Based on that information, to convert 2 moles of cobalt to grams, we multiply 2 moles of cobalt by 58.9332.

Emily wanted to see what battery lasted the longest. She put each battery into a clock and recorded the time that the clock stop
Andru [333]

Answer:

independent variable -- different batteries

dependent variable -- the time that clock stop

Explanation:

In an experiment or a research study, there are two type of variables that can affect the result of the experiment or the conclusion. They are independent variable and the dependent variable.

An independent variable may be defined as that variable in an experiment which can be changed or can be controlled in the scientific experiment in order to test the effect on the dependent variable. It cannot be changed by other variables.

On the other hand, dependent variable are those are those which can be altered or change that can affect the experiment.

In the context, Emily uses  the different types of the batteries as an independent variable and the time where the clock stopped in the dependent variable in her research.

A 100-w light bulb is about 16% efficient. how many joules of heat energy are siddipated by the bulb each second
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

84 Joules are wasted per second.

Explanation:

An efficiency of 16% means 84% is wasted as heat energy.  

Therefore;

For a 100W bulb;

Heat wasted = 84/100 × 100 W

                      = 84 W

Therefore;

84 W or 84 joules are wasted as heat per second
