The answer is c :) i hope its the right answer
Answer:
The answer to the question is
The pressure of carbon dioxide after equilibrium is reached the second time is 0.27 atm rounded to 2 significant digits
Explanation:
To solve the question, we note that the mole ratio of the constituent is proportional to their partial pressure
At the first trial the mixture contains
3.6 atm CO
1.2 atm H₂O (g)
Total pressure = 3.6+1.2= 4.8 atm
which gives
3.36 atm CO
0.96 atm H₂O (g)
0.24 atm H₂ (g)
That is
CO+H₂O→CO(g)+H₂ (g)
therefore the mixture contained
0.24 atm CO₂ and the total pressure =
3.36+0.96+0.24+0.24 = 4.8 atm
when an extra 1.8 atm of CO is added we get Increase in the mole fraction of CO we have one mole of CO produces one mole of H₂
At equilibrium we have 0.24*0.24/(3.36*0.96) = 0.017857
adding 1.8 atm CO gives 4.46 atm hence we have
(0.24+x)(0.24+x)/(4.46-x)(0.96-x) = 0.017857
which gives x = 0.031 atm or x = -0.6183 atm
Dealing with only the positive values we have the pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.24+0.03 = 0.27 atm
<span>In normal conditions gas particles remain very distant from each other. They rarely collide and are stable. When temperature increases the gas particles begin to move faster and collide more, reducing the distance. When pressure increases the gas particles also pick up kinetic speed and are also closer to each other.</span>
