Steam reforming of methane ( CH4 ) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas, which is the sta

rting point for many important industrial chemical syntheses. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 200.mL flask with 2.4 atm of methane gas and 3.9 atm of water vapor at 46.0°C. She then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of hydrogen gas to be 6.5 atm. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant for the steam reforming of methane at the final temperature of the mixture.

<u>Answer:</u> The pressure equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1473.8

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial partial pressure of methane gas = 2.4 atm

Initial partial pressure of water vapor = 3.9 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of hydrogen gas = 6.5 atm

The chemical equation for the reaction of methane gas and water vapor follows:

                        CH_4+H_2O\rightleftharpoons CO+3H_2

<u>Initial:</u>               2.4       3.9

<u>At eqllm:</u>        2.4-x    3.9-x        x       3x

Evaluating the value of 'x':

\Rightarrow 3x=6.5\\\\x=2.167

So, equilibrium partial pressure of methane gas = (2.4 - x) = [2.4 - 2.167] = 0.233 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of water vapor = (3.9 - x) = [3.9 - 2.167] = 1.733 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of carbon monoxide gas = x = 2.167 atm

The expression of K_p for above equation follows:

K_p=\frac{p_{CO}\times (p_{H_2})^3}{p_{CH_4}\times p_{H_2O}}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K_p=\frac{2.167\times (6.5)^3}{0.233\times 1.733}\\\\K_p=1473.8

Hence, the pressure equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1473.8

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is a(n)______ , of which there are 92
Nadusha1986 [10]

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is an element.

The first chemical element is hydrogen (atomic number is 1) and the last is oganesson (atomic number is 118).

Elements are scheduled in Periodic table, ordered by their atomic number.

Other example, krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36.

Krypton has 36 electron and 36. It is noble gas (group 18).

Noble gases are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

a technician mixes 80 ml of a 5% solution with 10 ml of water. what is the final percentage strength of the solution prepared?
Vinvika [58]

A technician mixes 80 ml of a 5% solution with 10 ml of water.  the final percentage strength of the solution prepared is 40 %.

given that :

8 ml of a 5 % solution mix with 10 ml . that means the 80 mL of 5 % solution is diluted with water of 10 mL

therefore, 80 × 5 = 10 × x %

x % = 40 %

Therefore, the final percentage strength of the solution is 40 %

Thus, A technician mixes 80 ml of a 5% solution with 10 ml of water.  the final percentage strength of the solution prepared is 40 %.

How do you balance this Chemical Equation? <br>C5H12O + O2 = CO2 + H2O​
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The chemical equation by putting, a 2 on C₅H₁₂O, 15 on O₂, 10 on CO₂ , and 12 on H₂O in the equation;

2C₅H₁₂O + 15O₂ → 10CO₂ + 12H₂O​

Explanation:

  • Chemical equations are balanced by putting coefficients on the reactants and products to ensure the total number of atoms on the left side equal to those on the right side.
  • Balancing chemical equations is done to make chemical equations obey the law of conservation of mass.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants should always be equal to the mass of products.
  • This is done by balancing chemical equations to ensure the total number of atoms on the left side is equal to that on the right side.
  • Therefore, the balanced equation is;

          2C₅H₁₂O + 15O₂ → 10CO₂ + 12H₂O​

A 248-g piece of copper is dropped into 390 mL of water at 22.6 °C. The final temperature of the water was measured as 39.9 °C.
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Initial temperature of copper = 67.1°C

Explanation:

Data

mass Copper = 248 g

volume Water = 390 ml

T1 water = 22.6°C

T2           = 39.9°C

T1 copper = ?

Specific heat water = 1 cal/g°C

Specific heat copper = 0.092 cal/g°C

Formula       copper             water

Heat is negative for copper because it releases heat

                  - mCp(T2 - T1) = mCp(T2 - T1)                  

                  - (248)(39.9 - T1) = 390 (1)((39.9 - 22.6)           Substitution

                 -9895.2 + 248T1 = 390(17.3)                             Simplification

                 -9895.2 + 248T1 = 6747

                 248 T1 = 6747 + 9895.2

                 248 T1 = 16642.2

                 T1 = 16642.2 / 248

                 T1 = 67.1 °C                                                         Result
