Nitrogen forms a surprising number of compounds with oxygen. A number of these, often given the collective symbol NOx (for "nitr

ogen x oxygens") are serious contributors to air pollution. They can often be interconverted, sometimes by reaction with oxygen or ozone (O3) in the air.
An atmospheric scientist decides to study the reaction between nitrogen monoxide and oxygen that produces nitrogen dioxide. He fills a stainless steel reaction chamber with 4.9atm of nitrogen monoxide gas and 5.1atm of oxygen gas and raises the temperature considerably. At equilibrium he measures the mole fraction of nitrogen dioxide to be 0.52.

Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant Kp for the equilibrium between nitrogen monoxide, oxygen, and nitrogen dioxide at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

9.2

Explanation:

Let's do an equilibrium chart of this reaction:

2NO(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO₂(g)

4.9 atm    5.1 atm    0       Initial

-2x             -x           +2x    Reacts (stoichiometry is 2:1:2)

4.9-2x      5.1-x        2x      Equilibrium

The mole fraction of NO₂ (y) can be calculated by the Raoult's law, that states that the mole fraction is the partial pressure divided by the total pressure:

y = 2x/(4.9 - 2x + 5.1 -x + 2x)

0.52 = 2x/(10 - x)

2x = 5.2 -0.52x

2.52x = 5.2

x = 2.06 atm

Thus, the partial pressure at equilibrium are:

pNO = 4.9 -2*2.06 = 0.78 atm

pO₂ = 5.1 - 2.06 = 3.04 atm

pNO₂ = 2*2.06 = 4.12 atm

Thus, the pressure equilibrium constant Kp is:

Kp = [(pNO₂)²]/[(pNO)²*(pO₂)]

Kp = [(4.12)²]/[(0.78)²*3.04]

Kp = [16.9744]/[1.849536]

Kp = 9.2

What are the characteristics of electromagnetic waves?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature as they propagate by varying the electric and magnetic fields such that the two fields are perpendicular to each other.

Accelerated charges are responsible to produce electromagnetic waves.

Given that a mass of a ball is (36.0 g), and the volume is (8.0 mL), what is the ball's density in g/mL?​
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

4.5g/mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball  = 36g

Volume of the ball  = 8mL

Unknown:

Density of the ball  = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

          Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

So;

 Density  = \frac{36}{8}    = 4.5g/mL

What is the hydrogen ion concentration of a substance with a pH of 4.5?​
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The hydrogen ion concentration of the substance is 3.16*10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

pH is a parameter used to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a substance. The pH is calculated as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the concentration of hydronium ions [H₃O⁺] or hydrogen ions [H⁺].

pH= - log [H₃O⁺]= - log [H⁺]

Values ​​on the pH scale range from 0 to 14, where pH equal to 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic and above 7 is basic.

In this case, pH= 4.5

So:

4.5= - log [H⁺]

Solving:

[ H⁺]= 10⁻⁴ ⁵

[H⁺]= 3.16*10⁻⁵ M

The hydrogen ion concentration of the substance is 3.16*10⁻⁵ M

What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 112m in 29s?
nordsb [41]
Well to find speed you have to do distance /time. So, in this case you do 112m /29s which it will be 3.862 which if you round it, it will be 3.86 m/s
