Question

The endothermic decomposition of gaseous biofuel methanol (CH3OH) into hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide gas exhibits a concentration equilibrium constant of 2.111 at 250 C using nickel on silica catalyst. If the initial concentration of methanol 0.0041 moles per liter, what are the equilibrium concentrations of H2 gas and CO gas in a 1 pint container. Show work, including a balanced chemical equation, ICE table, equilibrium concentration constant expression, etc.! I can solve to the part where I get a cubic function of x (change in concentrations). However, I don't know where to go from there. I can't use any programs to solve cubic functions.

Explanation / Answer

13. When healed, mercury(II) oxide, HgO, decomposes to form mercury and oxygen. Through this reaction, Joseph Priestley demonstrated the existence of oxygen in 1774. Write balanced equation for decomposition of mercury(II) oxide. 2HgO=2Hg+O2 14. Methanol, CH3 OH, decomposes to form carbon monoxide, CO, & hydrogen gas, H2. Write balanced equation for this decomposition reaction. CH3OH=CO+2H2 ::Write the balanced chemical equation &Identify type of reaction:: 15. sulfur + oxygen >>>> sulfur dioxide (g) S+O2=SO2 combinationreaction 16. zinc + sulfuric acid (H2S04) >>>> zinc sulfate (aq) + hydrogen (g) Zn+H2SO4=ZnSO4+H2 displacement reaction 17. hydrogen + nitrogen >>>> ammonia (g) N2+3H2=2NH3 combinatiobn reaction(endothermic) 18. hydrogen + chlorine >>>> hydrogen chloride (g) H2+Cl2=2HCl chemical combination 19. carbon + water(steam) >>>> carbon monoxide (g) + hydrogen (g) C+H2O=CO+H2 displacement reaction /redox reaction 20. calcium oxide + water >>>> calcium hydroxide (aq) CaO+H2O=Ca(OH)2 exothermic reaction 21. phosphorus + oxygen >>>> diphosphorus pentoxide (molecular formula, P4O10) (s) 4P+5O2=P4O10 combination 22. hydrochloric acid(HCl) + sodium hydroxide >>>> sodium chloride (aq) + water HCl+NaOH=NaCl+H2O double displacement
