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\%)

Calculate the molarity of a solution of sodium hydroxide, naoh, if 23.64 ml of this solution is needed to neutralize 0.5632 g of
GuDViN [60]
The  molarity  of  NaOH  needed  is  calculated   as  follows
calculate  the  moles  of  KhC8h4O4

that  is  moles  =  mass/molar  mass  of  KhC8h4O4(204.22 g/mol)

=0.5632g /204.22g/mol=  2.76  x10^-3  moles

write the  equation  for  reaction

khc8h4O4  +  NaOH  ---> KNaC8h4O4  +  H2O

from  the  equation  above  the   reacting  ratio   of   KhC8h4O4  to  NaOh  is  1:1  therefore  the  moles  of  Naoh  is  also  2.76  x10^-3  moles

molarity  of NaOh  =  (moles  of  NaOh /  volume ) x  1000

that  is { (2.76  x10^-3) / 23.64}  x100  =0.117 M

Why are isotopes with short half-lives not useful for dating very old rocks?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The radioactive isotopes within these brains typically record the ages of the grains-not the time when the sedimentary rock was formed, making it difficult to date using radiometric dating. The half-life of U-235 is 704 million years.
