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

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}

What is the volume of a 200. gram sample of gold if its density is known to be 20.5 g/cm3?
Travka [436]

The volume  of  a  200 g sample  of  gold    is   9.76  cm³

<u><em> calculation</em></u>

  volume = mass /density

mass =  200 g

volume = 20.5 g/Cm³

volume  is therefore = 200g / 20.5 g/cm³  = 9.76 cm³

The product of adding two molecules of an alcohol to an aldehyde in the presence of acid is a(n):______
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Acetals are geminal-diether derivatives of aldehydes or ketones, formed by reaction with two equivalents (or an excess amount) of an alcohol and elimination of water. Ketone derivatives of this kind were once called ketals, but modern usage has dropped that term.

To achieve effective hemiacetal or acetal formation, two additional features must be implemented. First, an acid catalyst must be used because alcohol is a weak nucleophile and second the water produced with the acetal must be removed from the reaction.
