In this case, according to the described chemical reaction, which takes place between carbon monoxide and hydrogen to produce methanol at 260 °C and 40 atm:

CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH(g)

It is possible to calculate the pressure-based equilibrium constant via:

Kp=exp(-\frac{\Delta G\°}{RT} )

Whereas the change in the Gibbs free energy for the reaction is calculated with the following, assuming these changes can be assumed constant for the temperature range (25°C to 260°C):

\Delta G\°=\Delta H\°-T\Delta S\°

Whereas the change in both enthalpy and entropy are based on enthalpies of formation and standard entropies of both carbon monoxide and methanol respectively (exclude hydrogen as it is a single molecule of the same atom):

\Delta H\°=-166.3-(-137.3)=-29kJ/mol\\\\\Delta S\°=0.1268-0.1979=-0.0711 kJ/mol-K

Thus:

\Delta G\°=-29\frac{kJ}{mol} -(260+273.15)K*(-0.0711\frac{kJ}{mol*K} )=-66.91 kJ/mol

Hence, the pressure-based equilibrium constant will be:

Kp=exp(-\frac{-66,091\frac{J}{mol}}{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K} *(260+273.15)K} )=3.592x10^6

Next, we calculate the concentration-based equilibrium constant:

Kc=\frac{Kp}{RT^{\Delta \nu}} =\frac{3.592x10^6}{((8.314\frac{J}{mol*K})(260+273.15)K)^{(1-2-1)}}= 7.058x10^{13}

After that, we calculate the volume for us to get concentrations for the involved species at equilibrium:

V=\frac{(200+350)mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}(260+273.15)K}{40atm} =601.6L

[CO]_0=\frac{200mol}{601.6L}=0.332M

[H_2]_0=\frac{350mol}{601.6L}=0.582M

Then, the equilibrium expression and solution according to the ICE chart:

7.058x10^{13}=\frac{x}{(0.332-x)(0.582-2x)^2}

Whose physically-consistent solution would be x = 0.29 M, it means that the equilibrium conversions are:

X_{CO}=\frac{0.29M}{0.332M}=0.873(87.3\%) \\\\X_{H_2}=\frac{0.29M*2}{0.582m}=0.997(99.7\%)

In a Lewis diagram for methane (CH4), which atom or atoms is inside, or central?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

B carbon

Explanation

Lewis structure or dot structure is an easy way to get the bonding details of atoms in a molecule. If we talk about methane molecule carbon is central atom with four electrons that are bonded to four hydrogen atoms and each bond is single covalent bond.

Please see attached figure,

Hope it helps!

A base of pH 14 is not a strong base, it would be a highly concentrated base. A strong base is a base that completely deionizes in water.
