Answer:

a) the number-average molecular weight is 32,400 g/mol

b) the weight-average molecular weight is 36,320 g/mol

c) the degree of polymerization is 770

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Molecular                  Mean        Number      Weight      Number        Weight

weight                                                                             average         average

(g/mol)                    Mi(g/mol)         xi                wi          xiMi                  wiMi

8,000-16,000            12,000        0.07           0.03         840                360

16,000-24,000          20,000       0.15           0.09         3000              1800

24,000-32,000         28,000       0.26           0.21          7280              5880

32,000-40,000         36,000       0.27           0.27         9720               9720

40,000-48,000         44,000       0.18            0.28         7920              12320

48,000-56,000         52,000       0.07           0.12          3640              6240

∑                                                                                Mn=32,400     Mw=36,320

so;

a)  the number-average molecular weight

Mn = ∑Mixi

so from the table above; summation of Row Mixi

Mn = ∑Mixi = 32,400

Therefore, the number-average molecular weight is 32,400 g/mol

b) the weight-average molecular weight

Mw = ∑Miwi

so from the table above; summation of Row Miwi

Mw = ∑Miwi = 36,320

Therefore, the weight-average molecular weight is 36,320 g/mol

c) the degree of polymerization

the degree of polymerization of polypropylene can be determined using number-average molecular and repeat unit molecular weight.

now, for polypropylene { CH₂ = CH - CH₃ }

the repeat unit consist of 3 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms

given that;

Atomic weight of Carbon mC = 12.01 g/mol and

Atomic weight of  Hydrogen mH = 1.008 g/mol

now we find the repeat unit molecular weight of polypropylene

m = nCmC + nHmH

where n is the number of repeat of atoms

so we substitute

m = ( 3 × 12.01) + ( 6 × 1.008)

m = 36.03 + 6.048

m = 42.078 g/mol

now we calculate the degree of polymerization;

DP = Mn / m

so we substitute

DP = 32,400 / 42.078

DP = 769.9985 ≈ 770

Therefore,  the degree of polymerization is 770

If 1.8 L of water is added to 2.5 L of a 7.0 M KOH solution, what is the molarity of the new solution?
e-lub [12.9K]
Molarity= (number of moles of that substance) / (Volume of solution in litres)

7= (number of moles of HCl) / 0.05

Thus,

Number of moles of HCl = 7 x 0.05 = 0.35

The number of moles of HCl will remain unchanged.

Now, for new solution,

0.35= 0.35 / (New volume of solution in litres)

Thus,

New volume = 1 litre

Thus, amount of water added = 1- 0.05 litre = 5.0 M

Consider the reaction FeO (S) + CO(g) <-----> Fe(s) + CO2(g) for which KP is found to have the following values:
Svetach [21]

Explanation:

\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_1

where,

R = Gas constant = 8.314J/K mol

T = temperature = 600^oC=[273.15+600]K=873.15 K

K_p = equilibrium constant at 600°C =  0.900

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta G^o=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 873.15 K\times \ln (0.900 )

\Delta G^o=764.85 J/mol

The ΔG° of the reaction at 764.85 J/mol is 764.85 J/mol.

Equilibrium constant at 600°C = K_1=0.900

Equilibrium constant at 1000°C = K_2=0.396

T_1=[273.15+600]K=873.15 K

T_2=[273.15+1000]K=1273.15 K

\ln \frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{\Delta H^o}{R}\times [\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

\ln \frac{0.396}{0.900}=\frac{\Delta H^o}{8.314 J/mol K}\times [\frac{1}{873.15 K}-\frac{1}{1273.15 K}]

\Delta H^o=-18,969.30 J/mol

The ΔH° of the reaction at 600 C is -18,969.30 J/mol.

ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°

764.85 J/mol = -18,969.30 J/mol - 873.15 K × ΔS°

ΔS° = -22.60 J/K mol

The ΔS° of the reaction at 600 C is -22.60 J/K mol.

FeO (s) + CO(g)\rightleftharpoons Fe(s) + CO_2(g)

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = p_1=P\times \chi_1

Partial pressure of carbon monoxide = p_2=P\times \chi_2

Where \chi_1\& \chi_2 mole fraction of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gas.

The expression of K_p is given by:

K_p=\frac{p_1}{p_2}=\frac{P\times \chi_1}{P\times \chi_2}

0.900=\frac{\chi_1}{\chi_2}

\chi_1=0.900\times \chi_2

\chi_1+\chi_2=1

0.9\chi_2+\chi_2=1

1.9\chi_2=1

\chi_2=\frac{1}{1.9}=0.526

\chi_1=1-\chi_2=1-0.526=0.474

Mole fraction of carbon dioxide at 600°C is 0.474.
