Answer:

XCOCl₂ = 0.25

Explanation:

Let's write the reaction again:

CO(g) + Cl₂(g) -----> COCl₂(g)      Kp = 3.10

With this reaction, we can write the Kp expression:

Kp = PpCOCl₂ / PpCO * PpCl₂

As the pressure are in Torr, we can work these pressure in Atmosphere instead of Torr, and it would be easier cause it would be lower numbers. Remeber that 1 atm is 760 Torr. So Doing this we have:

PpCO = 270 * 1/760 = 0.36 atm

PpCl₂ = 257 / 760 = 0.34 atm

Now, we can write an ICE chart with pressures, so we can know the pressure of COCl₂

         CO(g) + Cl₂(g) -----> COCl₂(g)      Kp = 3.10

I:         0.36     0.34               0

C:          -x          -x                +x

E:        0.36-x   0.34-x           x

Replacing in the Kp expressio:

3.1 = x / (0.36-x)(0.34-x)

Solving for x we have:

3.1 = x / (0.1224 - 0.7x + x²)

3.1(0.1224 - 0.7x + x²) = x

0.3794 - 2.17x + 3.1x² = x

3.1x² - 3.17x + 0.3794 = 0

Now, using the quadratic formula to solve for x, we have:

x = 3.17 ±√(3.17)² - 4*3.1*0.3794 / 2 * 3.1

x = 3.17 ±√10.0489 - 4.7046 / 6.2

x = 3.17 ±√5.3443 / 6.2

x = 3.17 ± 2.3118 / 6.2

x₁ = 0.88

x₂ = 0.14

Using the lowest value of x, (because if we use the highest then the partial pressure of the reactants will give a negative value) we have that the partial pressure of COCl₂ would be 0.14 atm

Now that we have this value, we can calculate the partial pressure at equilibrium of the reactants:

PpCO = 0.36 - 0.14 = 0.22 atm

PpCl₂ = 0.34 - 0.14 = 0.20 atm

Now with these values, we can finally calculate the mole fraction of COCl₂ in equilibrium by using this expression:

XCOCl₂ = PCOCl₂ / Pt

And Pt is the total pressure of all species in reaction so:

Pt = 0.22 + 0.2 + 0.14 = 0.56 atm

Finally, the mole fraction:

XCOCl₂ = 0.14 / 0.56

<h2>XCOCl₂ = 0.25</h2>

As you move from left to right across a period, what happens to the atomic radil?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Moving Across a Period

Moving from left to right across a period, the atomic radius decreases. The nucleus of the atom gains protons moving from left to right, increasing the positive charge of the nucleus and increasing the attractive force of the nucleus upon the electrons

How many moles are in 442.8 g of strontium carbonate (SrCO3)?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

3 moles

Explanation:

SrCO3

Mass = 442.8g

Molar mass = (87.6 + 12 * [16*3]) = 147.6g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 442.8 / 147.6

Number of moles = 3

What is the definition of to squeeze a gas into a smaller space
ollegr [7]
I think the best word here would be compress. It is to compress that is defined as to squeeze a gas into a smaller space. Compression is the reduction of volume which cause an increase in pressure of the gas. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
