Answer:
kp= 3.1 x 10^(-2)
Explanation:
To solve this problem we have to write down the reaction and use the ICE table for pressures:
2SO2 + O2 ⇄ 2SO3
Initial 3.4 atm 1.3 atm 0 atm
Change -2x - x + 2x
Equilibrium 3.4 - 2x 1.3 -x 0.52 atm
In order to know the x value:
2x = 0.52
x=(0.52)/2= 0.26
2SO2 + O2 ⇄ 2SO3
Equilibrium 3.4 - 0.52 1.3 - 0.26 0.52 atm
Equilibrium 2.88 atm 1.04 atm 0.52 atm
with the partial pressure in the equilibrium, we can obtain Kp.
Explanation:
Formula to calculate refractive index of n is as follows.
n =
where, = mole fraction of A
= mole fraction of B
= refractive index of A
= refractive index of B
Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
n =
1.5248 = ........ (1)
Also, it is known that = 1
and, ......... (2)
Now, put equation (2) in equation (1) as follows.
1.5248 =
1.5248 =
= 0.467
And, the value of is calculated as follows.
=
= 0.533
Hence, mole percentage of A will be calculated as follows.
Mole % of A =
=
= 46.7%
Thus, we can conclude that the mole percent of A in their mixture is 46.7%.
