Answer:

The correct answer is - A. Ethanol reduces air pollution.

Explanation:

Ethanol is believed to be better fuel for the environment than other petroleum fuels. Ethanol emits lower carbon dioxide as it is clean smokeless fuel, and produces less or the same oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.

It is produced by the process of fermentation of molasses by yeast. Mixing it with the other fuels is found to be CO2 reduces by 30% of emissions to the atmosphere.

Consider the reaction below for which K = 78.2 atm-1. A(g) + B(g) ↔ C(g) Assume that 0.386 mol C(g) is placed in the cylinder re

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1.65 L

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given as:

A + B ⇄ C

where;

numbers of moles = 0.386 mol C (g)

Volume = 7.29 L

Molar concentration of C = $\frac{0.386}{7.29}$

= 0.053 M

A + B ⇄ C

Initial 0 0 0.530

Change +x +x - x

Equilibrium x x (0.0530 - x)

$K = \frac{[C]}{[A][B]}$

where

K is given as ; 78.2 atm-1.

So, we have:

$78.2=\frac{[0.0530-x]}{[x][x]}$

$78.2= \frac{(0.0530-x)}{(x^2)}$

$78.2x^2= 0.0530-x$

$78.2x^2+x-0.0530=0$

Using quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

where; a = 78.2 ; b = 1 ; c= - 0.0530

= $\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ or $\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

= $\frac{-(1)+\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}$ or $\frac{-(1)-\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}$

= 0.0204 or -0.0332

Going by the positive value; we have:

x = 0.0204

[A] = 0.0204

[B] = 0.0204

[C] = 0.0530 - x

= 0.0530 - 0.0204

= 0.0326

Total number of moles at equilibrium = 0.0204 + 0.0204 + 0.0326

= 0.0734

Finally, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder at equilibrium using the ideal gas; PV =nRT

if we make V the subject of the formula; we have:

$V = \frac{nRT}{P}$

where;

P (pressure) = 1 atm

n (number of moles) = 0.0734 mole

R (rate constant) = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

T = 273.15 K (fixed constant temperature )

V (volume) = ???

$V=\frac{(0.0734*0.0821*273.15)}{(1.00)}$

V = 1.64604

V ≅ 1.65 L

1.8 mol HCl and 3.3 mol NaOH react accord- ing to the equation HCl + NaOH −→ NaCl + H2O . Calculate the amount in moles of NaCl

ollegr [7]

Answer:

1.8 moles of NaCl must be produced.

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

1 mol of HCl reacts with 1 mol of NaOH to produce 1mol of NaCl

To solve this question we must find, as first, the limiting reactant:

1.8 moles of HCl will need 1.8 moles of NaOH for a complete reaction (Ratio of reaction 1:1). As there are 3.3 moles of NaOH,

HCl is limiting reactant

When the 1.8 moles of HCl react completely,

1.8 moles of NaCl must be produced because 1 mole of HCl produce 1 mole of NaCl
