The reaction is
N₂O₄(g)  <=>  2NO₂(g)

a. Initial pressure is 5.3 atm
We assume that the there is 1 mole at the start
N₂O₄(g)  <=>  2NO₂(g)
    1                 
   -x                   2x
---------------------------
1 - x                   2x
The total moles is
1 + x
The mole fraction of N2O4 is
(1 - x)/(1 + x)
The mole fraction of NO2
2x/(1 + x)

Kp = [2x/(1 + x)]² / [(1 - x)/(1 + x)] = 0.25
Solve for x
And the total number of moles
The total pressure is solved by
(1 + x) (5.3)

The partial pressure of N2O4 is
5.3 (1 - x)
The partial pressure of NO4 is
5.3 (2x)

Do the same for the second problem.

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Let's write the equation:

N₂O₄(g) <------> 2NO₂(g)    Kp = 0.25

The general expression for Kp for this reaction is:

Kp = pNO₂²/pN₂O₄ (1)

With these expression we will calculate the partial pressure of the gases. Now, let's solve this by parts:

<u>a) When pN₂O₄ = 5.3 atm</u>

In this case, we'll do an ICE chart of this reaction:

        N₂O₄(g) <------> 2NO₂(g)

i)         5.3                      0

c)         -x                     +2x

e)      5.3 - x                  2x

Replacing into (1) we have:

0.25 = (2x)² / (5.3 - x)

From here, we solve for x:

0.25(5.3-x) = 4x²

1.325 - 0.25x = 4x²

4x² + 0.25x - 1.325 = 0

Now, we use the general expression for calculate x in these conditions:

x = -b ±√b² - 4ac / 2a   (2)

Replacing the data here:   (a = 4; b = 0.25; c = -1.325)

x = -0.25 ±√(0.25)² - 4*4*(-1.325) / 2*4

x = -0.25 ±√21.2625 / 8

x = -0.25 ± 4.61 / 8

x1 = -0.25 + 4.61 / 8 = 0.55

x2 = -0.25 - 4.61 / 8 = -0.61

So, we take the positive value.

x = 0.55 atm

Therefore the partial pressure of the gases are:

pN₂O₄ = 5.3 - 0.55 = 4.75 atm

pNO₂ = 2 * 0.55 = 1.10 atm

<u>b) When pNO₂ = 7 atm</u>

In this part we do the same but with NO2 so:

        N₂O₄(g) <------> 2NO₂(g)

i)         0                         7

c)         +x                     +2x

e)        x                      7 - 2x

replacing in (1):

0.25 = (7-2x)²/x

0.25x = 4x² - 28x + 49

4x² - 28.25x + 49 = 0

Using (2):

x = 28.25 ±√(28.25)² - 4*4*49 / 2*4

x = 28.25 ±√14.0625 / 8

x = 28.25 ± 3.75 / 8

x1 = 28.25 + 3.75 / 8 = 4

x2 = 28.25 - 3.75 / 8 = 3.0625

We can use either of the two values, but 2x is 2*4 = 8, it's higher than 7, and the result would be a negative number, so we use the smaller number, x2 will be the one:

pNO₂ = 7 - (2*3.0625) = 0.8744 atm

pN₂O₄ = 4.0625 atm

What is the mass percent of oxygen (0) in SO2?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

D. (16.0 g + 16.0 g) × 100% / (32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g) = 49.9%

Explanation:

Step 1: Detemine the mass of O in SO₂

There are 2 atoms of O in 1 molecule of SO₂. Then,

m(O) = 2 × 16.0 g = 16.0 g + 16.0 g = 32.0 g

Step 2: Determine the mass of SO₂

m(SO₂) = 1 × mS + 2 × mO = 1 × 32.1 g + 2 × 16.0 g = 32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g = 64.1 g

Step 3: Detemine the mass percent of oxygen in SO₂

We will use the following expression.

m(O)/m(SO₂) × 100%

(16.0 g + 16.0 g) × 100% / (32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g) = 49.9%

What process created the sand and the soil?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

They are produced from rocks (parent material) through the processes of weathering and natural erosion.

Explanation:

Soil minerals form the basis of soil. They are produced from rocks (parent material) through the processes of weathering and natural erosion. Water, wind, temperature change, gravity, chemical interaction, living organisms and pressure differences all help break down parent material.
