The atom has 7 neutrons and 8 protons....

because the positively charged particles are the protons ...and 8 is also the atomic number ...so number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting atomic number from the mass number...which gives us the neutrons 7 ...

Given:

K = 0.71 = Kp

The reaction of sulphur with oxygen is

                            S(s)   + O2(g)  ---> SO2(g)

initial Pressure                   6.90         0

Change                                -x            +x

Equilibrium                     6.90-x          x

Kp = pSO2 / pO2 = 0.71 = x / (6.90-x)

4.899 - 0.71x  = x

4.899 = 1.71x

x = 2.86 atm = pressure of SO2 formed

temperature = 950 C = 950 + 273.15 K = 1223.15 K

Volume = 50 L

Let us calculate moles of SO2 formed using ideal gas equation as

PV = nRT

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

putting other values

n = PV / RT = 2.86 X 50 / 1223.15 X 0.0821 = 1.42 moles

Moles of Sulphur required = 1.42 moles

Mass of sulphur required or consumed = moles X atomic mass of sulphur

mass of S = 1.42 X 32 = 45.57 grams or 0.04557 Kg  of sulphur

What formation is favored by the addition of heat.
natta225 [31]
This depends in what type reaction is occurring. It may be an endothermic reaction or an exothermic reaction. If the reaction is endothermic or heat is being absorbed by the reaction, then the forward reaction is favored or the products are being formed by the addition of heat. If the reaction is exothermic or heat is released by the reaction, then the backward reaction is favored or the reactants are being formed by the addition of heat.

Why is a reaction between Sodium and Potassium impossible?
Darya [45]

Answer:

it is because a number of factors, including sample surface cleanliness and temperature, can prevent chunks of alkali metals from exploding on contact with water. The team eliminated those variables and others by using a sodium-potassium alloy that remains liquid at room temperature and a droplet delivery system featuring a calibrated syringe.
