The water-gas shift reaction plays a central role in the chemical methods for obtaining cleaner fuels from coal: CO(g) + H2O(g)

taurus [48]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of carbon dioxide, hydrogen gas, carbon monoxide and water when equilibrium is re-established are 0.362 M, 0.212 M, 0.138 M and 0.138 M respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

$CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)$

The expression of $K_c$ for above reaction follows:

$K_c=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}$ ........(1)

We are given:

$[CO]_{eq}=[H_2O]_{eq}=[H_2]_{eq}=0.10M$

$[CO_2]_{eq}=0.40M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_c=\frac{0.40\times 0.10}{010\times 0.10}\\\\K_c=4$

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of hydrogen gas = 0.30 mol

Volume of solution = 2.0 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }H_2=\frac{0.30mol}{2L}=0.15M$

When hydrogen gas is added, the concentration of product gets increased. But, by Le-Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where concentration of product must decrease, which is in the backward direction.

Concentration of hydrogen gas when equilibrium is re-established = 0.1 + 0.15 = 0.25 M

Now, the equilibrium is shifting to the reactant side. The equation follows:

$CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)$

Initial: 0.1 0.1 0.4 0.1

At eqllm: 0.1+x 0.1+x 0.4-x 0.25-x

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$4=\frac{(0.25-x)(0.4-x)}{(0.1+x)(0.1+x)}\\\\3x^2+1.45x-0.06=0\\\\x=0.038,-0.522$

Neglecting the negative value of 'x'

Calculating the concentrations of the species:

Concentration of carbon dioxide = (0.4 - x) = (0.4 - 0.038) = 0.362 M

Concentration of hydrogen gas = (0.25 - x) = (0.25 - 0.038) = 0.212 M

Concentration of carbon monoxide = (0.1 + x) = (0.1 + 0.038) = 0.138 M

Concentration of water = (0.1 + x) = (0.1 + 0.038) = 0.138 M

Hence, the concentration of carbon dioxide, hydrogen gas, carbon monoxide and water when equilibrium is re-established are 0.362 M, 0.212 M, 0.138 M and 0.138 M respectively.

Use the ideal gas law to calculate the pressure in atmospheres of 0.21 mol of helium (He) at 16°C & occupying 2.53 L. You mu

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2.32 atm

Explanation:

Data

P = ?

n = 0.214

V = 2.53 L

T = 61°C

R = 0.082 atm L/mol°K

Formula

PV = nTR

solve for P

P = nRT/V

Process

1.- Calculate the temperature in K

°K = °C + 273

°K = 61 + 273

= 334

2.- Substitution

P = (0.214 x 0.082 x 334) / 2.53

3.- Simplification

P = 5.86/2.53

4.- Result

P = 2.32 atm

A laboratory bottle of helium gas occupies a volume of 2.0 L at 760 mm Hg. Calculate the new pressure if the

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new pressure

$P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\$

From the question we have

$P_2 = \frac{2 \times 760}{1.8} = \frac{1520}{1.8} \\ = 844.4444...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

1. which volume has the most uncertainty associated wit the measurement?

Mamont248 [21]

1. The option a. 10 mL has the most uncertainty associated with it, because it has only 2 significative figures, while 10.0 mL has three significant figures and 10.00 has four significant figures.

2. The volume of solution that remains is 145.675 mL - 24.2 mL = 121.475 mL rounded to one decimal = 121.5 mL, given that the measure with the most uncerntainty has only one decimal.
