12.102 A chemical engineer is working to optimize the production of acrylonitrile to be used in the manufacture of carbon fibers. The reaction being used is the combination of propene gas, ammonia, and oxygen. The reaction is normally carried out at moderately high temperatures so all species are in the gas phase. (a) Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction. (b) The boiling point of acrylonitrile is 77 °C, and that of propene is -48 °C. What would the equilibrium expression be if this reaction were carried out at room temperature? (c) What characteristic of this reaction might cause the engineer to desire carrying out this reaction at room temperature?
A 0.250-M sodium sulfate solution is added to a 0.200-M barium nitrate solution and 0.700 g barium sulfate precipitates. Write the balanced equation for this reaction. Calculate the minimum volume of barium nitrate solution that was used. Calculate the minimum volume of sodium sulfate needed to precipitate 0.700 g barium sulfate. Assume 100% yield.
12.101 An engineer working on a design to extract petroleum from a deep thermal reservoir wishes to capture toxic hydrogen sulfide gases present by reaction with aqueous iron(II) nitrate to form solid iron(II) sulfide. (a) Write the chemical equation for this process, assuming that it reaches equilibrium. (b) What is the equilibrium constant expression for this system? (c) How can the process be manipulated so that it does not reach equilibrium, allowing the continuous removal of hydrogen sulfide?
Hard water has a high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions. Focusing on the calcium ion, a common home water -softening process is based on a reversible chemical change that can be expressed by Na2Ze(s)+Ca2+(aq)CaZe(s)+2Na+(aq). Na2Ze represents a solid resin that is like an ionic compound between sodium ions and zeolite ions, a complex arrangement of silicate and aluminate groups; CaZe is the corresponding calcium compound. When, during the day, is this system most likely to reach equilibrium? Why doesnt it reach equilibrium and stay there? Periodically it is necessary to recharge the water softner by running salt water, NaCl(aq), through it. Why is this necessary? What concept is discussed in this chapter does the recharging process illustrate? Zeolite ions are used in home water softners because they have a porous but rigid structure that is weakly attracted to cations, readily allowing an exchange among different ions.
. At high temperatures, elemental nitrogen and oxygen react with each other to form nitrogen monoxide. N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g)Suppose the system is analyzed at a particular temperature, and the equilibrium concentrations arc found to be [N2]=0.041M. [O2]=0.0078M, and [NO]=4.710M. Calculate the value of K for the reaction.
A gaseous material XY(g) dissociates to some extent to produce X(g) and Y(g): XY(g)X(g)+Y(g) A 2.00-g sample of XY (molar mass = 165 g/mol) is placed in a container with a movable piston at 25C. The pressure is held constant at 0.967 atm. As XY begins to dissociate, the piston moves until 35.0 mole percent of the original XY has dissociated and then remains at a constant position. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the density of the gas in the container after the piston has stopped moving, and determine the value of K for this reaction of 25C.
