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}

If you performed this experiment using mgcl2 as the solute would the molar concentration of mgcl2 that is isotonic to the potato
Mama L [17]
The answer to this question would be: lower molar concentration

Osmotic pressure is influenced by the number of ions and the concentration of the molecule in the solution. In NaCl, the molecule will split into 1 Na+ ion and 1 Cl- ion which results in 2 ions per compound. In MgCl2, the compound will split into 1 Mg2+ ion and 2 Cl- ion which results in 3 ions. Therefore, the osmotic pressure of MgCl2 will be 3/2 times of NaCl.
MgCl2 will need less concentration to achieve same osmotic pressure as NaCl. If the MgCl2 solution is isotonic with NaCl, the concentration of MgCl2 would be lower than NaCl

sulfur combines with hydrogen to form hydrogen sulfide H2 S by single covalent bond, while it form with potassium by ionic bond​
Alex

Answer: Ions may be defined as the element that contains either positive or negative charge over them. Two types of ions are cations and anions. The outermost electrons are involved in the formation of ions.

The atomic number of sulfur is 16. Its outermost electronic configuration is K=2, L= 8, M= 6. The sulfur requres two more electrons to complete its orbit and accquire -2 charge.
