Question

NEED EXPLANATIONS ON WHY THE HIGHLIGHTED ANSWERS ARE CORRECT

Consider the equilibrium, 2 NOCl(g) Cl_2(g) + 2 NO(g). When 2.000 atm NOCl is placed in a tank at 500.0 K and allowed to come to equilibrium, the equilibrium partial pressure of Cl_2 is 0.226 atm. Calculate K_p. a. 0.0660 b. 0.0115 c. 0.0193 d. 52.0 e. 15.2 When solid ammonium nitrate (NH_4NO_3) dissolves in water, the temperature of the water can drop dramatically. Taking NH_4NO_3 as the system, predict the signs of the entropy change of the system (Delta S_sys) and surroundings (Delta S_surr). a. Delta S_sys is less than 0 and Delta S_surr is less than 0. b. Delta S_sys equals 0 and Delta S_surr is less than 0. c. Delta S_sys is greater than 0 and Delta S_surr is less than 0. d. Delta S_sys is less than 0 and Delta S_surr is greater than 0. e. Delta S_sys is greater than 0 and Delta S_surr is greater than 0.

Explanation / Answer

1)

2NOCl(g)   <—> Cl2(g)   +   2NO (g)

2.000           0          0       (initial)

2.000-2x       x          2x       (at equilibrium)

Given at equilibrium,

p(Cl2) = 0.226 atm

so,

x = 0.226 atm

Kp = p(Cl2) * (p(NO))^2 / (p(NOCl))^2

Kp = 0.226 * (2x)^2 / (2.000 - 2x)^2

Kp = 0.226 * (2*0.226)^2 / (2.000 - 2*0.226)^2

Kp =    0.226 * 0.2043 / 2.396

Kp = 0.0193
