Suppose that the gas-phase reactions A→B and B→A are both elementary processes with rate constants of 4.7×10−3s−1 and 5.8×10−1s−

1, respectively.
What is the value of the equilibrium constant for the equilibrium A(g)⇌B(g)?

Answer:

K = 8.1 x 10⁻³

Explanation:

We are told here that these gas phase reactions are both elementary processes, thus the reactions forward and reverse are both first order:

A→B        Rate(forward) = k(forward) x [A]

and for

B→A       Rate(reverse) = k(reverse) x [B]

At equilibrium we know the rates of the forward and reverse reaction are equal, so

k(forward) x [A]  = k(reverse) x [B]    for A(g)⇌B(g)

⇒  k(forward) / k(reverse)  =  [B] / [A] =  K

4.7 x 10⁻³  s⁻1 / 5.8 x 10⁻¹ s⁻¹ = 8.1 x 10⁻³ = K

Notice how this answer is logical : the rate of the reverse reaction is greater than the forward reaction ( a factor of approximately 120 times) , and will be expecting a number for the equilibrium constant, K, smaller than one where the reactant concentration, [A], will prevail.

It is worth to mention that this is only valid for reactions which are single, elementary processes and not true for other equilibria.

The graphics in the attachment is part of the question, which was incomplete.

Answer: Fr = 102N and angle of approximately 11°.

Explanation: From the attachment, it is observed that from the three forces acting on M, two are perpendicular. So to find them, we have to show their x- and y- axis components. From the graph:

Fx = 70+40-10 = 100

Fy = 40-20 = 20

Now, as the forces form a triangle, the totalforce is:

Fr = \sqrt{Fx^{2} +Fy^{2} }

Fr = \sqrt{10400}

Fr = ≈ 102N

To determine the angle requested, we use:

arctg H = \frac{Fy}{Fx}

arctg H = \frac{20}{100}

H = tg 0.2 ≈ 11°.

What is the density of 1.00 mol of carbon monoxide gas at STP?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Density = mass / volume.

If this is an ideal gas then 1mol will take up 22.4L of volume (fact about ideal gases you should remember)

Since you have 1mol then you know the volume of the gas that you have (22.4L)

Now, just convert 1mol of CO to grams.The ptable tells you that the mass of 1 mol of C is 12g and the mass of 1 mol of O is 16g. So the mass of 1 mol of CO is......... :):)

Now you have the mass and the volume, so just divide :) enjoy
