Answer:

Explanation:

Steroids have two principal biological functions: as important components of cell membranes which alter membrane fluidity; and as signaling molecules. Hundreds of steroids are found in plants, animals and fungi. All steroids are manufactured in cells from the sterols lanosterol (opisthokonts) or cycloartenol (plants).

Kc for the reaction N2O4 <=> 2NO2 is 0.619 at 45 degrees C If 50.0g of N2O4 is introduced into an empty 2.10L container, w
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

p(N2O4) = 0.318 atm

p(NO2) = 7.17 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kc = 0.619

Temperature = 45.0 °C

Mass of N2O4 = 50.0 grams

Volume = 2.10 L

Molar mass N2O4 = 92.01 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2O4 ⇔ 2NO2

Step 3: Calculate moles N2O4

Moles N2O4 = 50.0 grams / 92.01 g/mol

Moles N2O4 = 0.543 moles

Step 4: The initial concentration

[N2O4] = 0.543 moles/2.10 L = 0.259 M

[NO2]= 0 M

Step 5: Calculate concentration at the equilibrium

For 1 mol N2O4 we'll have 2 moles NO2

[N2O4] = (0.259 -x)M

[NO2]= 2x

Step 6: Calculate Kc

Kc = 0.619=  [NO2]² / [N2O4]

0.619 = (2x)² / (0.259-x)

0.619 = 4x² / (0.259 -x)

x = 0.1373  

Step 7: Calculate concentrations

[N2O4] = (0.259 -x)M = 0.1217 M

[NO2]= 2x = 0.2746 M

Step 8: The moles

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles N2O4 = 0.1217 M * 2.10  = 0.0256 moles

Moles NO2 = 0.2746 M * 2.10 = 0.577 moles

Step 9: Calculate partial pressure

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ with p = the partial pressure

⇒ with V = the volume = 2.10 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒ with T = the temperature = 45 °C = 318 K

p = (nRT)/V

p(N2O4) = (0.0256 *0.08206 * 318)/ 2.10

p(N2O4) = 0.318 atm

p(NO2) = (0.577 *0.08206 * 318)/ 2.10

p(NO2) = 7.17 atm

Which process was responsible for producing gases in the early atmosphere?
andre [41]

Answer: The early atmosphere

Explanation: Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence. The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen.
