Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction below, if 0.208 moles of sulfur dioxide gas, 0.208 moles o

f oxygen gas and 0.425 moles of sulfur trioxide gas are present in a 1.50-liter reaction vessel at equilibrium.
2SO2(g) +O2 (g) <--> 2SO3 (g)

A. Kc=3.32 x 10^-2
B. Kc=2.01 x 10^1 (I know for a fact this one is wrong.)
C. Kc=2.98 x 10^1
D. Kc=1.47 x 10^1

Please help!

First, we convert the moles of each substance into the concentration using the volume of the reactor.
[SO₃] = 0.425/1.5 = 0.283 M
[SO₂] = 0.208 / 1.5 = 0.139 M
[O₂] = 0.208/1.5 = 0.139 M
The equilibrium constant is calculated by:
Kc = [SO₃]² / [O₂][SO₂]²
Kc = (0.283)²/(0.139)(0.139)²
Kc = 29.8 = 2.98 x 10¹

The answer is C

Should the line of best- fit travel through the origin of the graph ? Explain your reasoning
Finger [1]
 <span>I would say only if one of your data points is the origin. But your experiment could have started with a non-zero velocity, for instance, which would rule out the origin as one of your data points. Even so, a "best fit" is not meant to be perfect, it is only meant to be the best that you can do with your particular data set.</span>

For the following reaction, 7.53 grams of benzene (C6H6) are allowed to react with 8.33 grams of oxygen gas. benzene (C6H6) (l)
juin [17]

Answer:

The maximum amount of CO2 that can be formed is 9.15 grams CO2

O2 is the limiting reactant

There will remain 4.82 grams of benzene

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of benzene = 7.53 grams

Mass of oxygen gas = 8.33 grams

Molar mass of benzene = 78.11 g/mol

Molar mass oxygen gas = 32.00 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles C6H6 = 7.53 grams / 78.11 g/mol

Moles C6H6 = 0.0964 moles

Moles O2 = 8.33 grams / 32.00 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.2603 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles benzene we need 15 moles O2 to produce 12 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.2603 moles). Benzene is in excess. there will react 2/15 * 0.2603 = 0.0347 moles

There will remain 0.0964 - 0.0347 = 0.0617 moles benzene

This is 0.0617 moles * 78.11 g/mol = <u>4.82 grams benzene</u>

<u />

Step 5: Calculate moles CO2

For 2 moles benzene we need 15 moles O2 to produce 12 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

For 0.2603 moles O2 we'll have 12/15 * 0.2603 = 0.208 moles CO2

Step 6: Calculate mass CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 0.208 moles * 44.01 g/mol

<u>Mass CO2 = 9.15 grams</u>

The molecular formula of morphine, a pain-killing narcotic, is c17h19no3. what is the molar mass? what is the mass of 6.02 x 102
kati45 [8]
<span>Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, it can be a chemical element or a compound. It is a characteristic of each pure substance. We calculate it by adding up all of the masses of the atoms involved in the compound. We calculate as follows:
                   atomic mass         total mass
C     17        12.01 g/mol          204.17 g/mol
H     19          1.01 g/mol           19.19 g/mol
N      1         14.00 g/mol            14.00 g/mol
O      3         16.00 g/mol            48.00 g/mol
------------------------------------------------------------
Molar mass                           = 285.36 g/mol

</span><span>What is the mass of 6.02 x 10^24 molecules of morphine?

</span>6.02 x 10^24 molecules ( 1 mol / 6.02x10^23 molecules) ( 285.36 g/mol) = 2853.6 g morphine

1. What does it mean to "tare" a balance?​
alisha [4.7K]

By taring a balance the process of weighing by difference is done automatically. When a balance is tared with an object on the balance pan, the weight of the object will be automatically subtracted from every reading until the balance is re-tared or zeroed.
