Most plastics are made from oil or natural gas. One step in making plastics from these resources is called cracking. Cracking is

a process that breaks down bigger molecules into smaller ones. In one cracking reaction, ethane breaks down to become ethylene and hydrogen. During this process, thermal energy is absorbed from the surroundings and converted to chemical energy.

Increasing the temperature of gas in a container that cannot expand is a way to _______. decrease the volume of the gas decrease
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Increase the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

According to the Pressure law, for a fixed mass of gas, at a constant volume (V), the pressure (P) is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T).

From the kinetic molecular theory, gases are composed of particles which are in constant motion, colliding with themselves as well as with the walls of their container.

When the temperature of these gas molecules is increased, the molecules acquire more kinetic energy and the rate of collisions increases. Since the container cannot expand, the increase in pressure is due to the increase in collisions between the molecules of the gas as well as with the walls of their container.

Part A Find ΔS∘ for the reaction between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas to form ammonia: 12N2(g)+32H2(g)→NH3(g) Express your answ
inessss [21]

Answer:

\Delta S^{0} for the given reaction is -99.4 J/K

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: \frac{1}{2}N_{2}(g)+\frac{3}{2}H_{2}(g)\rightarrow NH_{3}(g)

\Delta S^{0}=[1mol\times S^{0}(NH_{3})_{g}]-[\frac{1}{2}mol\times S^{0}(N_{2})_{g}]-[\frac{3}{2}mol\times S^{0}(H_{2})_{g}]

where S^{0} represents standard entropy.

Plug in all the standard entropy values from available literature in the above equation:

\Delta S^{0}=[1mol\times 192.45\frac{J}{mol.K}]-[\frac{1}{2}mol\times 191.61\frac{J}{mol.K}]-[\frac{3}{2}mol\times 130.684\frac{J}{mol.K}]=-99.4J/K

So, \Delta S^{0} for the given reaction is -99.4 J/K

What is the total pressure of a container in kpa if the partial pressures are 1.25 atm and 66.7 psi?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

586 kpa(kilopascal/1000 pascals)

Explanation:

given 1.24 atm(standard atmosphere), and 66.7 psi(pound force per square inch).

To find the total pressure we should use dalton's law of partial pressures which is the sum of the pressures of each individual gas.

then we convert them to pascals and divide by 1000 to get the measurement in kilopascal.

knowing that 1 atmosphere is proportional to around 14.696 psi. We can multiply our given measure of atm by that and sum it by psi like so. 1.24×14.6959 = 18.22298.

Then,

18.22298+ 66.7 = 84.92298

psi.

Since 1 psi is proportional to around 6894.76 pascals. 1 psi will be 68.9476 kilopascal. 84.92298 * 6.89476 = 585.523336 ≈ 586
