Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

The equilibrium constant is $K_c= 2.8*10^{-4}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The chemical reaction equation is

$Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)} + 3H_{2}_{(g)} ----- 2Fe_{(s)} + 3H_{2} O_{(g)}$

The voume of the misture is V_m = 5.4L

The molar mass of $Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)}$ is a constant with value of $M_{Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)} } = 160g/mol$

The molar mass of $H_{2}_{(g)}$ is a constant with value of H_2 = 2g/mol

The molar mass of $H_{2}O$ is a constant with value of H_2O = 18g/mol

Generally the number of moles is mathematically given as

$No \ of \ moles \ = \frac{mass}{molar\ mass}$

For $Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)}$

$No \ of\ moles = \frac{3.54}{160}$

$= 0.022125 \ mols$

For $H_{2}$

$No \ of\ moles = \frac{3.63}{2}$

$= 1.815 \ mols$

For $H_{2}O$

$No \ of\ moles = \frac{2.13}{18}$

$= 0.12 \ mols$

Generally the concentration of a compound is mathematicallyrepresented as

$Concentration = \frac{No \ of \ moles }{Volume }$

For $Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)}$

$Concentration[Fe_2 O_3] = \frac{0.222125}{5.4}$

$= 4.10*10^{-3}M$

For $H_{2}$

$Concentration[H_2] = \frac{1.815}{5.4}$

= 0.336M

For $H_{2}O$

$Concentration [H_2O] = \frac{0.12}{5.4}$

= 0.022M

The equilibrium constant is mathematically represented as

$K_c = \frac{[concentration \ of \ product]}{[concentration \ of \ reactant ]}$

Considering $H_2O \ for \ product$

And $H_2 \ for \ reactant$

At equilibrium the

$K_c = \frac{0.022}{0.336}$

$K_c= 2.8*10^{-4}$

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
