Answer:

Explanation:

This is a 2D problem (parabolic) so we have to think that way. We have to split up the problem into its 2 dimensions to solve it. Think "y-stuff" and "x-stuff".

In the y-stuff category:

v₀ = 0 (initial upwards velocity is 0 since we are told the penny is thrown horizontally)

Δx = -10.0 m (this displacement is negative because the penny lands 10.0 m below the point from which it was thrown)

a = -9.8 m/s/s

t = ? (we need to find the time in this dimension so we can use it in the x dimension to find the displacement, our unknown)

In the "x-stuff" category:

v₀ = 7.25 m/s (this is given)

Δx = ???

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is ALWAYS 0)

t = (we will solve for this in the y-dimension and plug it in here).

In the y dimension:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and plugging in from the y-dimension info:

-10.0=0t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2 which simplifies to

-10.0=-4.9t^2 so

t=\sqrt{\frac{-10.0}{-4.9} } which, to 2 significant digits is

t = 1.4 seconds

Now we will do the same in the x-dimension, using t = 1.4:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in the x-stuff:

Δx = 7.25(1.4)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.4)^2 Notice that the stuff after the + sign goes to 0 cuz of the multiplication of 0, so what we are left with is another form of the d = rt equation:

Δx = 7.25(1.4) + 0 so

Δx = 1.0 × 10¹ m (That's rounded correctly to 2 sig dig's: 10 m from the base of the building).

At 900.0 K, the equilibrium constant (Kp) for the following reaction is 0.345. 2SO2(g)+O2(g)→2SO3(g) At equilibrium, the partial
elena55 [62]

Answer : The partial pressure of SO_3 is, 67.009 atm

Solution :  Given,

Partial pressure of SO_2 at equilibrium = 30.6 atm

Partial pressure of O_2 at equilibrium = 13.9 atm

Equilibrium constant = K_p=0.345

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g)

The expression of K_p will be,

K_p=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(p_{SO_2})^2\times (p_{O_2})}

Now put all the values of partial pressure, we get

0.345=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(30.6)^2\times (13.9)}

p_{SO_3}=67.009atm

Therefore, the partial pressure of SO_3 is, 67.009 atm
