In atmospheric chemistry, the following chemical reaction converts SO2, the predominant oxide of sulfur that comes from combusti

on of S-containing materials, to SO3, which can combine with H2O to make sulfuric acid (and thus contribute to acid rain): a. Write the expression for K for this equilibrium. b. Calculate the value of for this reaction using the values in either the back of your book or the CRC Handbook. c. Calculate the value of K for this equilibrium. d. If 1.00 bar of SO2 and 1.00 bar of O2 are enclosed in a system in the presence of some SO3 liquid, in which direction would the reaction run

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information;

The chemical reaction can be well presented as follows:

\mathtt{SO_{2(g)} + \dfrac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} }  ⇄ \mathtt{3SO_{2(l)}}

Now, K is known to be the equilibrium constant and it can be represented in terms of each constituent activity:

i.e

K = \dfrac{a_{so_3}}{a_{so_2} a_{o_2}^{\frac{1}{2}}}

However, since we are dealing with liquids solutions;

K = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{Pso_2}{P^0}\Big ( \dfrac{Po_2}{P^0} \Big)^{1/2}}   since the activity of a_{so_3} is equivalent to 1

Hence, under standard conditions(i.e at a pressure of 1 bar)

K = \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}

(b)

From the CRC Handbook, we are meant to determine the value of the Gibb free energy by applying the formula:

\Delta _{rxn} G^o = \sum \Delta_f \ G^o (products) - \sum \Delta_fG^o (reactants) \\ \\ = (1) (-368 \ kJ/mol) - (\dfrac{1}{2}) (0) - ((1) (-300.13 \ kJ/mol)) \\ \\ = -368 \ kJ/mol + 300.13 \ kJ/mol \\ \\  \simeq -68 \ kJ/mol

Thus, for this reaction; the Gibbs frree energy = -68 kJ/mol

(c)

Le's recall that:

At equilibrium, the instantaneous free energy is usually zero &

Q(reaction quotient) is equivalent to K(equilibrium constant)

So;

\mathtt{\Delta _{rxn} G = \Delta _{rxn} G^o + RT In Q}

\mathtt{0- \Delta _{rxn} G^o = RTIn K } \\ \\ \mathtt{ \Delta _{rxn} G^o = -RTIn K }  \\ \\  K = e^{\dfrac{\Delta_{rxn} G^o}{RT}} \\ \\  K = e^{^{\dfrac{67900 \ J/mol}{8.314 \ J/mol \times 298 \ K}} }

K =7.98390356\times 10^{11} \\ \\  \mathbf{K = 7.98 \times 10^{11}}

(d)

The direction by which the reaction will proceed can be determined if we can know the value of Q(reaction quotient).

This is because;

If  Q < K, then the reaction will proceed in the right direction towards the products.

However, if Q > K , then the reaction goes to the left direction. i.e to the reactants.

So;

Q= \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}

Since we are dealing with liquids;

Q= \dfrac{1}{1 \times 1^{1/2}}

Q = 1

Since Q < K; Then, the reaction proceeds in the right direction.

Hence, SO2 as well O2 will combine to yield SO3, then condensation will take place to form liquid.

What is minimum volume of oxygen required to react with 42.5 g of aluminum in the synthesis of aluminum oxide at stp?
natka813 [3]
<span>26.833 liters

Aluminum oxide has a formula of Al</span>₂O₃,<span> which means for every mole of aluminum used, 1.5 moles of oxygen is required (3/2 = 1.5).

Given 42.5 g of aluminum divided by its atomic mass (26.9815385) gives 1.575 moles of aluminum.

Since it takes 1.5 moles of oxygen per mole of aluminum to make aluminum oxide, you'll need 2.363 moles of oxygen atoms.

Each molecule of oxygen gas has 2 oxygen atoms, so the moles of oxygen gas will be 2.363/2 = 1.1815

Finally, you need to calculate the volume of </span>1.1815 <span>moles of oxygen gas.
1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.7 liters of volume. Therefore,

1.1815 * 22.7 = </span>26.8 liters <span>of oxygen gas.

Which of the following is true for balancing equations?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D) There must be equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

Explanation:

The balancing equation must have equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

The balance equation shoes mass is conserved thus followed the law of conservation of mas.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
