<u>Answer:</u>

Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.

That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect. .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.

Calculate ΔrG∘ at 298 K for the following reactions.CO(g)+H2O(g)→H2(g)+CO2(g)2-Predict the effect on ΔrG∘ of lowering the temper

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

1) ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

2) ΔG°r will decrease with decreasing temperature

Explanation:

CO(g) + H2O(g) → H2(g) + CO2(g)

1) ΔG°r = ∑νiΔG°f,i

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = ΔG°CO2(g) + ΔG°H2(g) - ΔG°H2O(g) - ΔG°CO(g)

from literature, T = 298 K:

∴ ΔG°CO2(g) = - 394.359 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°CO(g) = - 137.152 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°H2(g) = 0 KJ/mol........pure substance

∴ ΔG°H2O(g) = - 228.588 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 394.359 KJ/mol + 0 KJ/mol - ( - 228.588 KJ/mol ) - ( - 137.152 KJ7mol )

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

2) K = e∧(-ΔG°/RT)

∴ R = 8.314 E-3 KJ/K.mol

∴ T = 298 K

⇒ K = e∧(-28.619/(8.314 E-3)(298) = 9.624 E-6

⇒ ΔG°r = - RTLnK

If T (↓) ⇒ ΔG°r (↓)

assuming T = 200 K

⇒ ΔG°r(200 K) = - (8.314 E-3)(200)Ln(9.624E-3)

⇒ ΔG°r (200K) = - 19.207 KJ/mol < ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

Pressure gauge at the top of a vertical oil well registers 140 bars. The oil well is 6000 m deep and filled with natural gas dow

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

(a) The given data is as follows.

Pressure on top ( $P_{o}$ ) = 140 bar = $1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa$ (as 1 bar = $10^{5}$ )

Temperature = $15^{o}C$ = (15 + 273) K = 288 K

Density of gas = $\frac{PM}{ZRT}$

$\frac{dP}{dZ} = \rho \times g$

$\frac{dP}{dZ} = \int \frac{PM}{ZRT}$

$\int_{P_{o}}^{P_{1}} \frac{dP}{dZ} = \frac{Mg}{ZRT} \int_{0}^{4700} dZ$

$ln (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{o}}) = \frac{18.9 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.81 \times 4700 m}{0.80 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 288 K}$

= 0.4548

$P_{1} = P_{o} \times e^{0.4548}$

= $1.4 \times 10^{7} Pa \times 1.5797$

= $2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa$

Hence, pressure at the natural gas-oil interface is $2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa$ .

(b) At the bottom of the tank,

$P_{2} = P_{1} + \rho \times g \times h$

= 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa + 700 \times 9.81 \times (6000 - 4700)[/tex]

= $309.8 \times 10^{5} Pa$

= 309.8 bar

Hence, at the bottom of the well at $15^{o}C$ pressure is 309.8 bar.
