For the reaction: SO2(g) + NO2(g) ⇌ SO3(g) + NO(g), the equilibrium constant, Kc, is 18.0 at 1200 °C. If 1.0 mole of SO2 and 2.0 moles of NO2 are placed in a 2.0 L container, what concentration of SO3 will be present at equilibrium?

Answer from: rodres17

[SO₃] in the equilibrium, will be 0.47 M

Explanation:

First of all we state the equilibrium reaction:

SO₂(g) + NO₂(g) ⇌ SO₃(g) + NO(g)

Intially we have 1 moles of sulfur dioxide and 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide.

The stoichiometry is all 1:1.

During the reaction x amount has reactend, then in the equilibrum I would have

(1-x) moles of SO₂

(2-x) moles of NO₂

and there are formed x moles of SO₃ and x moles of NO

The thing is that, we need molar concentrations, so all the values must be divided by 2L, the vessel volume

Let's make the expression for Kc:

Kc = [SO₃] . [NO] / [SO₂] . [NO₂]

Kc = x/2 . x/2 / (1-x)/2 . (2-x)/2

Kc = x²/4 / (1-x)(2-x) / 4 → (1-x)(2-x) = 2-x-2x+x² → 2-3x+x²

18 = x²/4 / 2-3x+x²/4 → we cancel the 4 → 18 = x² / 2-3x+x²

18 (2-3x+x²) = x² → 0 = 17x² - 54x + 36

Let's solve the quadratic funtion:

17 = a; -54 = b; 36 =c → (-b +- √(b²-4ac)) / 2a

(-54 +- √(-54²- 4 . 17. 36)) / 2.36

x1 = 0.95

x2 = 2.22

We take, the first value so the [SO₃] in the equilibrium, will be 0.95/2L = 0.47 M

Answer from: nborowy9579

[SO3] = 0.476 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kc = 18.0 at 1200 °C

Number of moles SO2 = 1.0 moles

Number of moles NO2 = 2.0 moles

Volume = 2.0 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

SO2(g) + NO2(g) ⇌ SO3(g) + NO(g)

Step 3: Calculate molarity

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity SO2 = 1.0 mol / 2.0 L

Molarity SO2 = 0.5 M

Molarity NO2 = 2.0 mol / 2.0 L

Molarity NO2 = 1.0 M

Step 3: Initial concentrations

[SO2] = 0.5M

[NO2] = 1.0 M

[SO3]= 0M

[NO] = 0M

Step 4: Concentration at equilibrium

[SO2] = 0.5 - X M

[NO2] = 1.0 - X M

[SO3]= XM

[NO] = XM

Step 5: Calculate concentrations

Kc = [SO3][NO] / [SO2][NO2]

Kc = 18 = x² / ((0.5- x)(1.0-x)

x = 0.476

[SO2] = 0.5 - 0.476 M = 0.024 M

[NO2] = 1.0 - 0.476 M = 0.524 M

[SO3]= XM = 0.476 M

[NO] = XM = 0.476 M

Both models are effective because they show the valence electrons, and these valence electrons indicate the reactivity of an element.

Many bird species build nests in which they raise their offspring. one of these species is known as the magnolia warbler. breeding pairs of magnolia warblers build nests out of pieces of grass and twigs. the female warbler will then lay her eggs in the nest and sit on the eggs for a few weeks until they hatch. after the offspring have hatched, the female will continue to sit on the newborn chicks to keep them warm. both the male and the female bring food for the offspring to eat until the young are mature enough to find food on their own. which of these most likely describes why birds such as the magnolia warbler build nests in which to raise their offspring? a. nest building decreases the amount of energy used by the parent birds to raise their offspring to adulthood. b. nest building increases the probability that the offspring will survive and eventually produce offspring of their own. c. nest building decreases the amount of food that the offspring require the adult birds to provide. d. nest building increases the probability of the offspring being located by airborne predators.
