C. pollute water and damage aquatic ecosystems
Answer:
See detailed explanation.
Explanation:
Hello!
i. In this case, since the given chemical reaction is exothermic due to the negative change in the enthalpy of reaction, we infer that according to the mentioned principle, by lowering the temperature the reaction will shift rightwards and therefore the yield is increased; thus, you need a lower temperature than the specified.
ii. In this case, since the reaction has less moles at the products side, according to the mentioned principle it'd be necessary to rise the pressure in order to increase the yield, since the increase of pressure favors the reaction side with the fewest number of moles.
Best regards!
- From the general law of gases: PV = nRT,
where P is the pressure (atm),
V is the volume (L),
n is the number of moles,
R is the general gas constant (8.314 L.atm/mol.K),
T is the temperature in Kelvin
- at constant volume of the gas: P1T2 = P2T1
P1 = 3.20 atm, T1 = 300 K, T2 = 290 K, P2 = ??
(3.20 atm)(290 K) = P2(300 K)
P2 = (3.20 atm)(290 K)/ (300 K) = 3.093 atm
Would that be mass times volume?
