2. Calculate the molar mass of CuSO.-5H20. (Use a periodic table)

Consider the decomposition of a metal oxide to its elements, where M represents a generic metal.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

For 1: The standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction is 10.60 kJ/mol

For 2: The equilibrium constant for the given reaction at 298 K is $1.386\times 10^{-2}$

For 3: The equilibrium pressure of oxygen gas is 0.0577 atm

Explanation:

For 1:

The equation used to calculate standard Gibbs free energy change of a reaction is:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$M_2O_3(s)\rightarrow 2M(s)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)$

The equation for the standard Gibbs free energy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta G^o_f_{(M(s))})+(\frac{3}{2}\times \Delta G^o_f_{(O_2(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(M_2O_3(s))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta G^o_f_{(M_2O_3(s))}=-10.60kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{(M(s))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (0))+(\frac{3}{2}\times (0))]-[(1\times (-10.60))]\\\\\Delta G^o_{rxn}=10.60kJ/mol$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction is 10.60 kJ/mol

For 2:

Relation between standard Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant follows:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_{eq}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = Standard Gibbs free energy = 10.60 kJ/mol = 10600 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J )

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/K mol

T = temperature = 298 K

$K_{eq}$ = equilibrium constant = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10600J/mol=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 298K\times \ln (K_{eq})\\\\K_{eq}=1.386\times 10^{-2}$

Hence, the equilibrium constant for the given reaction at 298 K is $1.386\times 10^{-2}$

For 3:

The expression of $K_{eq}$ for above equation follows:

$K_{eq}=p_{O_2}^{3/2}$

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in the expression. That is why, the concentration of metal and metal oxide is taken as 1 in the expression.

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$1.386\times 10^{-2}=p_{O_2}^{3/2}\\\\p_{O_2}=0.0577atm$

Hence, the equilibrium pressure of oxygen gas is 0.0577 atm

Explain how scientific knowledge and reasoning can help us make difficult decisions.

ch4aika [34]

Scientific reasoning consists of observation, forming a workable hypothesis and arriving at a conclusion. Almost without exception major scientific discoveries were made and are being made today based on these same precepts. It only seems logical when an individual makes a difficult decision he/she will apply all or part of these processes. Let;s say that you want to make someone;s acquaintance to possibly become serious. Certainly, you would begin by quietly observing them, then you might make a hypothesis, "This person might make a good companion for me." Then in your conclusion you would test your hypothesis and proceed as directed. THis may be a bit simplistic, and I hope that it helps.

Describe one way in which rocks formed on Mount Moran.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

One way in which the rocks are formed on Mount Moran is due to the presence of intense heat and pressure. When the slabs of sedimentary rocks got buried deep beneath the Earth's surface, they have experienced intense heat and pressure. Later on, they formed into metamorphic rocks.

What Is the Difference Between Molar Mass and Molecular Weight in HNO3?

nydimaria [60]

Difference between molecular weight and molar mass

Hint : Molar mass of molecules is also called molecular weight . Its unit is gram per mole. We can calculate molar mass of molecule with the help of following rules; ... Molar mass of nitric acid (HNO3) =atomic mass of hydrogen + atomic mass of nitrogen +3× atomic mass of oxygen .
