Answer:

The final pressure is 2.0 atm

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Number of moles of methanol = 4 moles

Number of moles of oxygen = 3 moles

Volume and temperature are fixed

Original pressure = 1.0 atm

<u>Step 2</u>: The balanced equation

2 CH3OH + 3 O2 → 2 CO2 + 4 H2O  

For 2 moles of CH3OH consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of CO2 and 4 moles of H2O

This means the mol ratio methanol to oxygen = 2:3

<u>Step 3 : </u>Calculate the fina lpressure

Since methanol is a liquid and not a gas, it doesn't count for the pressure.

Number of moles O2 = 3 mol

This means the total number of moles for the reactants = 3 moles

The total number of moles  for the products = 2 + 4 = 6 moles of gas

Since V and T are fixed (and R is constant)

⇒ we can write the gas the gas law as following:

P2/P1 = n2/n1   OR P2 = (n2*P1)/n1

P2 = (6 mol * 1.0 atm ) / 3.0 mol

P2 = 2.0 atm

The final pressure is 2.0 atm

How do ethical concerns affect scientific research
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Ethical concerns affect scientific research by adding boundaries to what can and cant be experimented on. An example is that its socially unacceptable to experiment on humans because its considered wrong and horrific, even at the expense of learning more about human nature and/or the human body.

In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide dissolved in molten cryolit
natka813 [3]

The given question incomplete, the complete question is:

In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide (Al,03) dissolved in molten cryolite (Na, Alts).re in the reduction of the Al, o, to pure aluminum. Suppose a current of 1800. A is passed through a Hall-Heroult cell for 37.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure aluminum produced Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The correct answer is 6.2114 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the value of current or I have given is 1800 amperes, the time given is 37 seconds, and there is a need to find the mass of the pure aluminum generated in the process. Mass or weight can be determined by using Faraday's first law equation, that is, w = MIt/nF.  

Here, M is the atomic mass, w is the weight of the substance deposited, t is time, I is current, n is the number of moles of the electron, and F is the Faraday's constant, which is 96500 C. In the process mentioned in the question, aluminum oxide is reduced to give rise to pure aluminum, and in the process 3 electrons are gained. So, the value of n will be 3. The M or the atomic mass of Al is 27 gm per mole. Now putting the values in the equation we get,  

w = 27*1800*37 / 3*96500

w = 1798200 / 289500

w = 6.2114 grams

Hence, pure aluminum produced in the process is 6.2114 grams.
