Capitolo 10, Problema 109

The reaction NO1g2 + NO21g2 ∆ N2O31g2 takes place in the atmosphere with Kc = 13 at 298 K. A gas mixture is prepared with 2.0 mol NO and 3.0 mol NO2 and an initial total pressure of 1.65 atm. (b) What is the volume of the container?

Determine the total number of moles of gases present initially. Add the moles of NO and NO2 together.
Use the ideal gas law equation, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (0.0821 L atm/mol K), and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
Substitute the known values into the ideal gas law equation. Use the total pressure given (1.65 atm) and the temperature (298 K).
Solve the equation for V (volume). Rearrange the ideal gas law equation to isolate V on one side: V = \(\frac{nRT}{P}\).
Calculate the volume by plugging in the values for n, R, T, and P into the rearranged equation.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Equilibrium Constant (Kc)

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is a numerical value that expresses the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium for a given reaction at a specific temperature. In this case, Kc = 13 indicates that at equilibrium, the concentration of N2O3 is significantly favored over the reactants NO and NO2, which is crucial for understanding how the reaction proceeds and how to calculate the changes in concentration.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law, represented as PV = nRT, relates the pressure (P), volume (V), number of moles (n), the ideal gas constant (R), and temperature (T) of a gas. This law is essential for determining the volume of the container in which the gas mixture is held, as it allows us to calculate volume based on the total number of moles and the pressure of the gas mixture.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry involves the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on balanced chemical equations. Understanding stoichiometry is vital for determining the initial concentrations of NO and NO2 in the reaction, which will help in calculating the equilibrium concentrations and ultimately the volume of the container using the Ideal Gas Law.
