Problem PageQuestion Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthe

sis. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 500. mL flask with 1.3 atm of sulfur dioxide gas and 4.1 atm of oxygen gas, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of sulfur trioxide gas to be 0.91 atm. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant for the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

SO₂: 0.39atm

O₂: 3.645atm

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₃(g)

<em>2 moles of sulfur dioxide react per mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of sulfur trioxide.</em>

When the reaction occurs an comes to equilbrium, the partial pressure of each gas is:

SO₂: 1.3atm - 2X

O₂: 4.1atm -X

SO₃: 2X

<em>Where X is the reaction coordinate.</em>

<em />

As pressure at equilibrium of SO₃ is 0.91 atm:

0.91atm = 2X

Thus: X = 0.455atm.

Replacing, pressures at equilibrium of the gases are:

SO₂: 1.3atm - 2×0.455atm = <em>0.39 atm</em>

O₂: 4.1atm -0.455atm =<em> 3.645 atm</em>

Which answer best describes what is happening in the following redox reaction?
erica [24]

Answer:

Iron is oxidized to form rust.

Explanation:

Consider the reaction; 4Fe + 302------>2Fe2O3, we can see that iron is being oxidized to iron III oxide. Rust is the common name of iron III oxide.

Rusting is an electrochemical process, iron rusts when it comes into contact with air and water because electrochemical cells are set up at the surface of contact.

Iron usually functions as the anode in the electrochemical process. This process leads to the formation of iron III oxide. Rust is soft and breaks off easily thereby exposing the metal below the surface to further rusting.

Is carbon dioxide a iconic or covalent compound
igomit [66]
It is a covalant bond. Because any compound made up of nonmetals will be covalant. Compounds made up of a non metal and metal willl form a ionic compund. :)
