Nitric oxide (NO) from car exhaust is a primary air pollutant. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction

Chemistry

This problem is asking for the equilibrium constant at two different temperatures by describing the chemical equilibrium between gaseous nitrogen, oxygen and nitrogen monoxide at 25 °C and 1496 °C as the room temperature and the typical temperature inside the cylinders of a car's engine respectively:

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 NO(g)

Thus, the calculated equilibrium constants turned out to be 6.19x10⁻³¹ and 9.87x10⁻⁵ at the aforementioned temperatures, respectively, according to the following work:

There is a relationship between the Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy of the reaction, which leads to the equilibrium constant as shown below:

\Delta _rG=\Delta _rH-T\Delta _rS\\\\\Delta _rG=-RT ln(K)

Which means we can calculate the enthalpy and entropy of reaction and subsequently the Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant. In such a way, we calculate these two as follows, according to the enthalpies of formation and standard entropies of N₂(g), O₂(g) and NO(g) since these are assumed constant along the temperature range:

\Delta _rH=2*90.25 kJ/mol - (0 kJ/mol+0 kJ/mol)=180.5kJ/mol\\\\\Delta _rS=2*(0.211 kJ/mol*K)-(0.192kJ/mol*K+0.205kJ/mol*K)=0.025kJ/mol*K

Then, we calculate the Gibbs free energy of reaction at both 25 °C and 1496 °C:

\Delta _rG_{25\°C}=180.5-(25+298.15)*0.025=172.42kJ/mol\\\\\Delta _rG_{1496\°C}=180.5-(1496+298.15)*0.025=135.65kJ/mol

And finally, the equilibrium constants derived from the general Gibbs equation and Gibbs free energies of reaction:

K=exp(-\frac{\Delta _rG}{RT} )\\\\K_{25\°C}=exp[-\frac{172420 J/mol}{(8.3145\frac{J}{mol*K})(298.15K)} ]=6.19x10^{-31}\\\\K_{1496\°C}=exp[-\frac{135650J/mol}{(8.3145\frac{J}{mol*K})(1769K)} ]=9.87x10^{-5}

0.467 mol NaCl are needed to
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

27.4 gram is the solution it's simple dude...

Explanation:

don't be afraid of huge question they confuse you you need not to be confused

now see simple solution

molality is denoted by m

so

m= moles of solute / mass of solvent in kg.

i hope your know the meaning of solute and solvent....

so moles are given 0.467

and molar mass is given 58.44

so just take out the gram means

by applying formula

58.44×0.467

it will give 27.4 grams simple.....

What causes water to become denser when it is carried to the poles by surface currents? increased temperature and increased sali
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The answer is decreased temperature and increased salinity

Explanation:

It is what is known as the thermohaline circulation

The thermohaline circulation moves the water slowly. This water moves mainly due to differences in its relative density. Much denser water sinks over water that is less dense. Two factors impact the density of seawater: temperature and salinity.

Cold water is denser than hot water:

-Water cools when it loses heat, it occurs at high latitudes.

-Water is heated when it receives energy from the sun, at low latitudes.

Saltier water is much denser than water that has less salt:

-Sea water becomes salty if the evaporation rate increases.

-Sea water becomes less salty if there is a water inlet over the sea.

The bulb lights up in the circuit. Only two rods are conductors of electricity. Which one of the rods, X, Y or Z is definitely a
meriva

Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X

Methane's chemical formula is CH. Is there a bond between any of the hydrogen atoms? Why or why not? (1 point)
irinina [24]

Answer:

No, there is not because it would form H2 instead of methane if hydrogen bonded with itself.

Explanation:

from the shape of methane which is tetrahedral it's evident there's no hydrogen bond only C-H bond.
