Answer:

1 atmospheric pressure = 760.0 mm Hg

Thus 580 mm Hg = (580 mm Hg/(760 mm Hg/atm))

= 0.763 atm

The burning characteristics of a gasoline can be improved by converting the octane it contains into isooctane. This conversion r

bogdanovich [222]

Gasoline is refined petroleum used in engines as a fuel. It contains octane that can be converted to isooctane by adding catalysts like platinum and palladium.

<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>

Catalysts are substances that raise the reaction rate by decreasing the activation energy but do not get consumed themselves in a reaction.

Platinum and palladium metals can be used as a catalyst to convert the octane of the gasoline into isooctane as they are oxidation catalyst that converts the fuel components into water and carbon dioxide.

Therefore, platinum and palladium are used as catalysts in converting octane.

At a certain temperature, Kc = 0.0500 and ∆H = +39.0 kJ for the reaction below, 2 MgCl2(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) + Cl2(g) Calculate

Minchanka [31]

Explanation:

Since, it is shown that the reaction has been reversed. Therefore, value of $K_{c}$ will become $\frac{1}{K_{c}}$ .

Hence, new $K_{c'} = \frac{1}{K_{c}}$

= $\frac{1}{0.0500}$

= 20

Also, the number of moles of each reactant has been halved. So, $K_{c''}$ for the reaction $MgO(s) + \frac{1}{2}Cl2(g) → MgCl_{2}(s) + \frac{1}{2} O2(g)$ will also get halved.

Therefore, $K_{c''}$ = $K_{c'}$ = $(20)^{0.5}$

= 4.47

As the value of $\Delta H$ is given as +39.0 kJ. So, it means that the reaction is endothermic in nature. So, energy of reactants will be more than the products. Hence, according to Le Chatelier's principle reaction will move in the forward direction.
