Answer: After 4710 seconds, 1/8 of the compound will be left

Explanation:

Using the formulae

Nt/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where

N= amount of the compound  present at time t

No= amount of compound present at time t=0

t= time taken for N molecules of the compound to remain = 4710 seconds

t1/2 = half-life of compound  = 1570 seconds

Plugging in the values, we have  

Nt/No = (1/2)^(4710s/1570s)

Nt/No = (1/2)^3

Nt/No= 1/8

Therefore after 4710 seconds, 1/8 molecules of the compound will be left

Answer:

Kp = 0.049

Explanation:

The equilibrium in question is;

2 SO₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)   ⇄ 2 SO₃ (g)  

Kp = p SO₃² / ( p SO₂² x p O₂ )

The initial pressures are given, so lets set up the ICE table for the equilibrium:

atm        SO₂         O₂          SO₃

I              3.3        0.79           0

C              -2x           -x          2x

E             3.3 - 2x    0.79 - x    2x

We are told 2x = partial pressure of SO₃ is 0.47 atm at equilibrium, so we can determine the partial pressures of  SO₂ and O₂ as follows:

p SO₂  = 3.3 -0.47 atm = 2.83 atm

p O₂ = 0.79 - (0.47/2) atm = .56 atm

Now we can calculate Kp:

Kp = 0.47² /[ ( 2.83 )² x 0.56 ] = 0.049 ( rounded to 2 significant figures )

Note that we have extra data in this problem we did not need since once we setup the ICE table for the equilibrium we realize we have all the information needed to solve the question.
