Answer: A. The equilibrium will shift to the left to favor the reverse reaction.

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

$CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)\leftrightharpoons CO(g)+3H_2$

If the pressure is increased, the volume will decrease according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is lesser at the reactant side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction to favor the formation of reactants in reverse reaction.

First, we need to calculate how much energy we will get from this combustion.

Assuming the combustion is complete, we have the octane reacting with O₂ to form only water and CO₂, so:

$C_8H_{18}+O_2\to CO_2+H_2O$

We need to balance the reaction. Carbon only appear on two parts, so, we can start by it:

$C_8H_{18}+O_2\to8CO_2+H_2O$

Now, we balance the hydrogen:

$C_8H_{18}+O_2\to8CO_2+9H_2O$

And in the end, the oxygen:

$C_8H_{18}+\frac{25}{2}O_2\to8CO_2+9H_2O$

We can multiply all coefficients by 2 to get integer ones:

$2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\to16CO_2+18H_2O$

Now, we need to use the enthalpies of formation to get the enthalpy of reaction of this reaction.

The enthalpy of reaction can be calculated by adding the enthalpies of formation of the products multiplied by their stoichiometric coefficients and substracting the sum of enthalpies of formation of the reactants multiplied by their stoichiometric coefficients.

For the reactants, we have (the enthalpy of formation of pure compounds is zero, which is the case for O₂):

$\begin{gathered} \Delta H\mleft\lbrace reactants\mright\rbrace=2\cdot\Delta H\mleft\lbrace C_8H_{18}\mright\rbrace+25\cdot\Delta H\mleft\lbrace O_2\mright\rbrace \\ \Delta H\lbrace reactants\rbrace=2\cdot(-250.1kJ)+25\cdot0kJ \\ \Delta H\lbrace reactants\rbrace=-500.2kJ+0kJ \\ \Delta H\lbrace reactants\rbrace=-500.2kJ \end{gathered}$

For the products, we have:

$\begin{gathered} \Delta H_{}\mleft\lbrace product\mright\rbrace=16\cdot\Delta H\lbrace CO_2\rbrace+18\cdot\Delta H\lbrace H_2O\rbrace \\ \Delta H_{}\lbrace product\rbrace=16\cdot(-393.5kJ)+18\cdot(-285.5kJ) \\ \Delta H_{}\lbrace product\rbrace=-6296kJ-5139kJ \\ \Delta H_{}\lbrace product\rbrace=-11435kJ \end{gathered}$

Now, we substract the rectants from the produtcs:

$\begin{gathered} \Delta H_r=\Delta H_{}\lbrace product\rbrace-\Delta H\lbrace reactants\rbrace \\ \Delta H_r=-11435kJ-(-500.2kJ) \\ \Delta H_r=-10934.8kJ \end{gathered}$

Now, this enthalpy of reaction is for 2 moles of C₈H₁₈, so for 1 mol of C₈H₁₈ we have half this value:

$\Delta H_c=\frac{1}{2}\Delta H_r=\frac{1}{2}\cdot(-10934.8kJ)=-5467.4kJ$

Now, we have 100 g of C₈H₁₈, and its molar weight is approximately 114.22852 g/mol, so the number of moles in 100 g of C₈H₁₈ is:

$\begin{gathered} M_{C_8H_{18}}=\frac{m_{C_8H_{18}}}{n_{C_8H_{18}}} \\ n_{C_8H_{18}}=\frac{m_{C_8H_{18}}}{M_{C_8H_{18}}}=\frac{100g}{114.22852g/mol}\approx0.875438mol \end{gathered}$

Since we have approximately 0.875438 mol, and 1 mol releases -5467.4kJ when combusted, we have:

$Q=-5467.4kJ/mol\cdot0.875438mol\approx-4786.37kJ$

Now, for the other part, we need to calculate how much heat it is necessary to melt a mass, m.

First, we have to heat the ice to 0 °C, so:

$\begin{gathered} Q_1=m\cdot2.010J/g.\degree C\cdot(0-(-10))\degree C \\ Q_1=m\cdot2.010J/g\cdot10 \\ Q_1=m\cdot20.10J/g \end{gathered}$

Then, we need to melt all this mass, so we use the latent heat now:

$Q_2=n\cdot6.03kJ/mol$

Converting mass to number of moles of water we have:

$\begin{gathered} M=\frac{m}{n} \\ n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{m}{18.01528g/mol} \end{gathered}$

So:

$Q_2=\frac{m}{18.01528g/mol}_{}\cdot6.03kJ/mol\approx m\cdot0.334716kJ/g$

Adding them, we have a total heat of:

$\begin{gathered} Q_T=m\cdot20.10J/g+m\cdot0.334716kJ/g \\ Q_T=m\cdot0.02010kJ/g+m\cdot0.334716kJ/g \\ Q_T=m\cdot0.354816kJ/g \end{gathered}$

Since we have a heat of 4786.37 kJ form the combustion, we input that to get the mass (the negative sign is removed because it only means that the heat is released from the reaction, but now it is absorbed by the ice):

$\begin{gathered} 4786.37kJ=m\cdot0.354816kJ/g \\ m=\frac{4786.37kJ}{0.354816kJ/g}\approx13489g\approx13.5\operatorname{kg} \end{gathered}$

Since we have a total of 20kg of ice, we can clculate the percent using it:

$P=\frac{13.5\operatorname{kg}}{20\operatorname{kg}}=0.675=67.5\%$

Calculate the volume of compound Y needed to make a 350 pg/ml treatment solution in 2 ml of 1x PBS using a stock solution contai

harina [27]

Answer:

14 mL

Explanation:

To prepare a solution by a concentrated solution, we must use the equation:

C1xV1 = C2xV2, where C is the concentration, V is the volume, 1 is the initial solution and 2 the final solution.

The final solution must have 2 mL and a concentration of 350 pg/mL, and the initial solution has a concentration of 50 pg/mL.

Then:

50xV1 = 350x2

50xV1 = 700

V1 = 700/50

V1 = 14 mL

51.7ml at 27 Celsius and 90kpa to stp

never [62]

STP is the abbreviation of standard condition for temperature and pressure which is 273.15K temperature and 1.013× 10^5 Pa pressure. Since the pressure and temperature changes, I assume the question would ask about the result of the volume. The temperature used in ideal gas should be Kelvin, so 27 Celcius would be 300.15K.
The calculation would be
PV=T
V=T/P

V2/V1= T2*P1/T1*P2
V2/V1=273.15K* 90^10^3Pa/ 300.15K * 1.013× 10^5 Pa
V2= 0.81904 * 51.7ml
V2= 42.34ml

The salt formed by the reaction of the weak acid hydrocyanic acid, HCN, with the strong base potassium hydroxide is

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

Explanation:

The equation for the equilibrium is

CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

Ka = 4.9 × 10^-10

KaKb = Kw

4.9 × 10^-10 Kb = 1.00 × 10^-14

Kb = (1.00 × 10^-14)/(4.9 × 10^-10) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Now, we can set up an ICE table

CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

I/(mol/L) 0.255 0 0

C/(mol/L) -x +x +x

E/(mol/L) 0.255 - x x x

Ka = x^2/(0.255 - x) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Check for negligibility

0.255/(2.05 × 10^-5) = 12 000 > 400. ∴ x ≪ 0.255

x^2 = 0.255(2.05 × 10^-5) = 5.20 × 10^-6

x = sqrt(5.20 × 10^-6) = 2.28 × 10^-3

[OH^-] = x mol/L = 2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L
