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}

The voltage generated by the zinc concentration cell described by the line notation Zn ( s ) ∣ ∣ Zn 2 + ( aq , 0.100 M ) ∥ ∥ Zn
Oxana [17]

Answer:

0.193 M

Explanation:

We need to calculate the Zn²⁺ concentration at the cathode where reduction occurs which is the right side in the expression:

Zn2+(aq,0.100 M) ‖ Zn2+(aq,? M) | Zn(s)

Zn²⁺ (aq,?) + 2 e⁻   ⇒ Zn (s)

and oxidation will occur in the anode

Zn (s) ⇒ Zn²⁺ (aq, 0.100 M ) + 2 e⁻

and the overall reaction is

Zn²⁺ (aq,?) ⇒ Zn²⁺ (0.100 M )

The driving force is the difference in concentration and E the electromotive force will be given by

E = Eº - 0.0592/2 log [Zn²⁺ (0.100 M) / Zn²⁺ (M) ]

Plugging the value for E and knowing Eº is cero because we have the same electrodes, we have

17.0 x 10⁻³ = 0 - 0.0592 log 0.100/ X =

- 17.0 x 10⁻³ / 0.0592 = log 0.100 / X

- 0.287 = log (0.100 / X)

Taking inverse log to both sides of the equation

0.516 = 0.100 / X   ⇒ X = 0.100 / 0.516 = 0.193 M

Main job is to sort and package proteins and other substances in a plant cell
melomori [17]

Answer:

Main job of golgi bodies is to sort and package proteins and other substances in a plant cell.

Explanation:

Golgi bodies are also called post office of the cell because it modify and distribute proteins for the cell. First, proteins are made in the organelle of the cell i. e. endoplasmic reticulum. From here, it is send to the Golgi apparatus for modification. Golgi bodies add some special structures with the protein and this protein leaves golgi bodies which is used by the cell where it is needed.

A solution of an unknown nonvolatile nonelectrolyte was prepared by dissolving 0.250 g of the substance in 40.0 g of ccl4. the b
Finger [1]
Answer : The molar mass of the solute will be 87.90 g/mol.

Explanation : We know the formula for elevation in boiling point, which is

Δt = iK_{b}m

given that, Δt = 0.357, K_{b} = 5.02 and mass of CCl _{4} = 40,

on substituting the value we get,
0.357 = (1) X (5.02) X (x/ 0.044), on solving we get x = 2.844 X10^{-3}. 
Now, 0.250/ 2.844 X10^{-3} = 87.90 g/mol. which is the weight of unknown component.
