Answer:

pC6H5CHO = 0.180 atm

Fraction dissociated = 0.756

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 523 K

the value of its equilibrium constant is K = 0.558

Mass of benzyl alcohol = 1.20 grams

Molar mass of benzyl alcohol = 108.14 g/mol

Volume = 2.00 L

heated to 523 K

Step 2: The balanced equation

C6H5CH2OH(g) ⇆ C6H5CHO(g) + H2(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles benzyl alcohol

Moles benzyl alcohol = Mass / molar mass

Moles benzyl alcohol = 1.20 grams / 108.14 g/mol

Moles benzyl alcC6H5CH2OHohol = 0.0111 moles

Step 4: Initial moles

Moles C6H5CH2OH = 0.0111 moles

Moles C6H5CHO = 0 moles

Moles H2O = 0 moles

Step 5:  moles at the equilibrium

Moles C6H5CH2OH = 0.0111 - X moles

Moles C6H5CHO = X moles

Moles H2O = X moles

Step 6: Calculate the total number of moles at equilibrium

Total number of moles = (0.0111 - X moles) + X moles + X moles

Total number of moles = 0.0111 + X moles

Step 7: Calculate the total pressure at the equilibrium

p*V = n*R*T

p = (n*R*T) / V

⇒with p = the total pressure at the equilibrium = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with n = the total number of moles = 0.0111 + X moles

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm / mol * K

⇒with T = the temperature = 523 K

⇒with V = the volume of the vessel = 2.00 L

p = (0.0111 - X moles ) * 0.08206*523 / 2.00

p = 21.46(0.0111 - X moles)

Step 8: Define the equilibrium constant K

K = 0.558 =  (pC6H5CHO)*(pH2) / (pC6H5CH2OH)

0.558 = (X / (0.0111 + X)*P)²  /  ((0.0111-X)/(0.0111+X)*P)

0.558 = (X²(21.46 * (0.0111+X))) / ((0.0111 + X) (0.0111-X))

X = 0.00839

Step 9: Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure

pC6H5CHO = X / (0.0111 + X)  * (21.46 * (0.0111 +X))

pC6H5CHO = 0.180 atm

Step 10: What fraction of benzyl alcohol is dissociated into products at equilibrium?

Fraction dissociated = Δn / n°

Fraction dissociated = X / 0.0111

Fraction dissociated = 0.00839 / 0.0111

Fraction dissociated = 0.756

Answer:

(a) p_{C6H5CH2OH}=2.14x10^{-3}atm

(b) Dissociation =0.99

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this case, for the given chemical reaction, the law of mass action becomes:

Kc=\frac{[C6H5CHO][H2]}{[C6H5CH2OH]}

In such a way, as 1.20 g of benzyl alcohol are placed into a 2.00-L vessel, the initial concentration is:

[C6H5CH2OH]_0=\frac{1.20g*\frac{1mol}{108.14g} }{2.00L} =5.55x10^{-3}M

Hence, by writing the law of mass action in terms of the change x due to equilibrium:

Kc=\frac{(x)(x)}{5.55x10^{-3}-x}=0.558

Solving for x by using a quadratic equation one obtains:

x=5.50x10^{-3}M

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of benzyl alcohol is computed:

[C6H5CH2OH]_{eq}=5.55x10^{-3}M-5.50x10^{-3}M=5x10^{-5}M

With that concentration the partial pressure results:

p_{C6H5CH2OH}=[C6H5CH2OH]_{eq}RT =5x10^{-5}\frac{mol}{L} *0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*523K \\p_{C6H5CH2OH}=2.14x10^{-3}atm

(b) Now, the fraction of benzyl alcohol that is dissociated relates its equilibrium concentration with its initial concentration:

Dissociation=\frac{C6H5CH2OH_{eq}}{C6H5CH2OH_0} =\frac{5.50x10^{-3}M}{5.55x10^{-3}M} =0.99

Best regards.

What is the mass of six of these marbles? What is the volume? What is the<br> density?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

All right. So let's calculate the density of a glass marble. Remember that the formula for density is mass over volume. So if I know that the masses 18.5 g. And I know that the um volume is 6.45 cubic centimeters. I can go ahead and answer this to three significant figures. So it's going to be 2.87 grams per cubic centimeter. Okay, that's our density. Now, density is an intensive process. Okay. We're an intensive property. I really should say. It doesn't depend on how much you have. Mhm. If I have one marble, its density is going to be 2.87 g per cubic centimeter. If I have two marbles, the density will be the same because I'll double the mass and I'll also double the volume. So when I divide them I'll get the same number. Okay, that's what makes it an intensive property. No matter how many marbles I have, they'll have the same density. Mass though is not an intensive property. So if I have six marbles and I want to know what the massive six marbles is. Well, I know the mass of each marble is 18.5 g. So the mass of six marbles Is going to be 100 11 g. Because mass is an extensive property. It depends on how much you have. If I change the number of marbles, I'm going to change the mass. That's an extensive property. All right. So we've calculated the density. We've calculated the mass and then what happens to the density of one marble compared to six marbles as we mentioned before. Since densities and intensive property, the densities will be the same, no matter how may.

A female bear leaves her bear cubs in their den to go out in search of food. She travels one mile in 30 minutes, heading east. S
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Points of acceleration:

1. When female bear goes quickly

2. After becoming tired, when she becomes slow

3. When she changes direction from east to north

4.When she slows down when she reaches the river bed

5. When she turns around

6.When she increases speed to travel southwest to return home

7. When she comes to a stop at home

Explanation:

1. When she is going quickly she is increasing her velocity thus positively accelerating

2. When she becomes slow, she is having negative acceleration.

3. When there is a change in direction of velocity there is an acceleration.

4. Again negative acceleration when she comes to a stop at the river bed

5. Turning around to the southwest direction requires acceleration

6. To increase the velocity to reach home, positive acceleration

7. To decrease the velocity to stop upon reaching home, negative acceleration
