A quantity of liquid methanol, CH 3OH, is introduced into a rigid 3.00-L vessel, the vessel is sealed, and the temperature is ra

ised to 500K. At this temperature, the methanol vaporizes and decomposes according to the reaction CH 3OH(g) CO(g) + 2 H 2(g), K c= 6.90×10 –2. If the concentration of H 2 in the equilibrium mixture is 0.426M, what mass of methanol was initially introduced into the vessel?

Answer:

74.3g of methanol were introduced into the vessel

Explanation:

In the equilibrium:

CH₃OH(g) ⇄ CO(g) + 2H₂(g)

Kc is defined as the ratio between concentrations in equilibrium of :

Kc = 6.90x10⁻² = [CO] [H₂]² / [CH₃OH]

Some methanol added to the vessel will react producing H₂ and CO. And equilibrium concentrations must be:

[CH₃OH] = ? - X

[CO] = X

[H₂] = 2X

<em>Where ? is the initial concentration of methanol</em>

As [H₂] = 2X = 0.426M; X = 0.213M

<em>[CH₃OH] = ? - 0.213M</em>

[CO] = 0.213M

[H₂] = 0.426M

Replacing in Kc to solve equilibrium concentration of methanol:

6.90x10⁻² = [0.213] [0.426]² / [CH₃OH]

[CH₃OH] = 0.560

As:

[CH₃OH] = ? - 0.213M = 0.560M

? = 0.773M

0.7733M was the initial concentration of methanol. As volume of vessel is 3.00L, moles of methanol are:

3.00L * (0.773 mol / L) = 2.319 moles methanol.

Using molar mass of methanol (32.04g/mol), initial mass of methanol added was:

2.319 moles * (32.04g / mol) =

<h3>74.3g of methanol were introduced into the vessel</h3>

Which of these time measurements is the smallest?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

In order to answer the question, we convert the measurements given to a common base unit. For this case, we use seconds.

A)   0.02 seconds

B)   0.02 teraseconds x (10^12 s / 1 terasecond) = 2x10^10 seconds

C)   2,500 milliseconds x (1 s / 1000 ms) = 2.5 seconds

D)   25,000 nanoseconds x (1 x 10^-9 s / 1 nanosecond) = 2.5 x 10^-5 seconds

So ,The correct answer is option " D "

A tropical climate is a wet climate. Consider a city like Bogota, Colombia which has a tropical climate. Does a tropical climate
dlinn [17]

Answer:

No, It will mean lot of rains but not every day

Explanation:

In wet tropical climates, the high clouds trap a lot of heat while balancing incoming and outgoing heat energy. When the number of heat trapping cloud remains very low, then the unstable cool air above the clouds cause lot of rain.

Hence, there will rain frequently but no everyday
