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\%)

What event typically causes upwelling?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Conditions are optimal for upwelling along the coast when winds blow along the shore. Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

What is the solubility of La(IO₃)₃ in a solution that contains 0.100 M IO₃⁻ ions? (Ksp of La(IO₃)₃ is 7.5 × 10⁻¹²)
love history [14]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

[La3+] = 0.1 M

<u>At the equilibrium: </u>

La(IO3)3 <---->     La3+     +         3 IO3-  

                    0.1 +s             3s      

\mathrm{Ksp}=[\mathrm{La} 3+][\mathrm{IO} 3-]^{\wedge} 3

7.5 * 10^{\wedge}-12=(0.1+s) *(3 s)^{\wedge} 3

Since Ksp is small, s can be ignored as compared to the 0.1

The above shown expression thus becomes:

7.5 * 10 \wedge-12=(0.1) *(3 s) \wedge 3

7.5 * 10^{\wedge}-12=0.1 * 27(\mathrm{s})^{\wedge} 3

s=1.406 * 10^{\wedge}-4 \mathrm{M}

<u>Answer: 1.4*10^-4 M </u>
