The safest method for diluting
concentrated sulfuric acid with water is to add acid to water. This way, when
spill occurs, the acid is already diluted and less harmful than adding water to
acid.
Alpha and Beta particles can be stopped by our skin. Gamma particles cannot be stopped by our skin.
The partial pressure<span> of </span>water<span> in the mixture, P</span>water<span>, is the equilibrium </span>vapour pressure<span> of </span>water<span> at the temperature specified.

Answer:
The equilibrium pressure of NO2 is 0.084 atm
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
A reaction mixture initially contains 0.86 atm NO and 0.86 atm SO3.
Kp = 0.0118
Step 2: The balanced equation
NO( g) + SO3( g) ⇌ NO2( g) + SO2( g)
Step 3: The initial pressures
p(NO) = 0.86 atm
p(SO3) = 0.86 atm
p(NO2) = 0 atm
p(SO2) = 0 atm
Step 4: The pressure at the equilibrium
For 1 mol NO we need 1 mol SO3 to produce 1 mol NO2 and 1 mol SO2
p(NO) = 0.86 -x atm
p(SO3) = 0.86 -xatm
p(NO2) = x atm
p(SO2) = x atm
Step 5: Define Kp
Kp = ((pNO2)*(pSO2)) / ((pNO)*(pSO3))
Kp = 0.0118 = x²/(0.86 - x)²
X = 0.08427
p(NO) = 0.86 -0.08427 = 0.77573 atm
p(SO3) = 0.86 -0.08427 = 0.77573 atm
p(NO2) = 0.08427 atm
p(SO2) = 0.08427 atm
The equilibrium pressure of NO2 is 0.08427 atm ≈ 0.084 atm
