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>

4. What is a homogeneous solution? Give an example.
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Homogeneous solutions are solutions with uniform composition and properties throughout the solution.

Explanation:

For example a cup of coffee, perfume, cough syrup, a solution of salt or sugar in water, etc. Heterogeneous solutions are solutions with non-uniform composition and properties throughout the solution.

Briefly describe four ways that a beam can be strengthened?​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

1. Changing Beam Material

2. Corrugation

3. Changing Beam form

4. Steel Reinforcing Bars

Explanation:

Changing Beam Material

Some materials are stronger when used in beams than others. Beams made of steel for instance are stronger than beams made of wood. Therefore changing material can improve the strength of the beam. It is quite important to take into account the weights of the material though as different structures have different requirements.

Corrugation.

You can fold the beam into triangular shapes to increase strength. If you look at roofs you will notice that they are folded and this increased their strength. The same logic can be applied to beams.

Changing Beam Form

Another way to make Beams stronger is to change their form or rather their shape. Straight beams are not as strong as I-beams for instance. I-beams look like the capital letter I with the lines at both ends. I-beams are usually used in construction which shows that they are quite strong.

Steel Reinforcing Bars

When placed in concrete beams, Steel Reinforcing Bars which are also called Rebar can help strengthen a beam by helping it withstand the forces of tension. A concrete beam with Rebar inside it is known as Reinforced Concrete.

Answer the following questions that relate to electrochemical reactions. (a) Under standard conditions at 25˚C, Zn(s) reacts wit
Elanso [62]

Answer:

0.48 V

Explanation:

Zn(s) ------------> Zn^2+(aq) + 2e. Oxidation half equation (-0.76V)

Co^2+(aq) + 2e-----------> Co(s). Reduction half equation (-0.28)

Zn(s) + Co^2+(aq) -------------> Zn^2+(aq) + Co(s) overall redox equation

Zinc is the anode while cobalt is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell= -0.28-(-0.76)= 0.48 V
