What is one source of CO?

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Carbon monoxide (CO)—a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and toxic air pollutant—is produced in the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, oil, coal, and wood. The largest anthropogenic source of CO in the United States is vehicle emissions.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

Hitman42 [59]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

N₂O₄(g)⇌2NO₂ at 2°C is Kc = 2.0

If each yellow sphere represents 1 mol of N₂O₄(g) and each gray sphere 1 mol of NO₂ which of the following 1.0 L containers represents the equilibrium mixture at 2°C?

The image is attached below.

<u>Answer:</u> The system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_c$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

The expression for $K_{c}$ is written as:

$K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

For the given chemical equation:

$N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$ .......(1)

We are given:

Volume of the container = 1.0 L

Value of $K_c$ = 2.0

Molarity of the substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}$

For the given images:

<u>For a:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 8 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 4 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(8/1)^2}{(4/1)}\\\\K_c=16$

<u>For b:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 4 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(4/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=2$

<u>For c:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 6 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 6 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(6/1)^2}{(6/1)}\\\\K_c=6$

<u>For d:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 2 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(2/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

4. Magnesium and oxygen undergo a chemical reaction to

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

About 16.1 grams of oxygen gas.

Explanation:

The reaction between magnesium and oxygen can be described by the equation:
$\displaystyle 2\text{Mg} + \text{O$_2$} \longrightarrow 2\text{MgO}$

24.4 grams of Mg reacted with O₂ to produce 40.5 grams of MgO. We want to determine the mass of O₂ in the chemical change.

Compute using stoichiometry. From the equation, we know that two moles of MgO is produced from every one mole of O₂. Therefore, we can:

Convert grams of MgO to moles of MgO.
Moles of MgO to moles of O₂
And moles of O₂ to grams of O₂.

The molecular weights of MgO and O₂ are 40.31 g/mol and 32.00 g/mol, respectively.

Dimensional analysis:

$\displaystyle 40.5\text{ g MgO} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol MgO}}{40.31\text{ g MgO}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol O$_2$}}{2\text{ mol MgO}} \cdot \frac{32.00\text{ g O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol O$_2$}} = 16.1\text{ g O$_2$}$

In conclusion, about 16.1 grams of oxygen gas was reacted.

You will obtain the same result if you compute with the 24.4 grams of Mg instead:

$\displaystyle 24.4\text{ g Mg}\cdot \frac{1\text{ mol Mg}}{24.31\text{ g Mg}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol Mg}} \cdot \frac{32.00\text{ g O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol O$_2$}} = 16.1\text{ g O$_2$}$
