Answer: The vapor pressure of naphthalene within the flask remains at $2.906\times 10^{-4}$ atm.

Explanation:

The transformation from solid naphthalene to its gaseous form follows the equilibrium reaction:

$C_{10}H_8(s)\rightleftharpoons C_{10}H_8(g)$

The formula employed to determine the enthalpy change for the reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(reactant)]$

The formula for calculating the enthalpy change regarding the aforementioned reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(C_{10}H_8(g))})-(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(C_{10}H_8(s))})$

The provided information includes:

$\Delta H^o_f_{(C_{10}H_8(s))}=78.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(C_{10}H_8(g))}=150.6kJ/mol$

Substituting the values into the previous equation produces:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=(1\times 150.6)-(1\times 78.5)=72.1kJ/mol$

The formula utilized to compute Gibbs free energy change is of a reaction:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f(reactant)]$

The equation for the enthalpy change for the reaction is:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(C_{10}H_8(g))})-(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(C_{10}H_8(s))})$

The given factors include:

$\Delta G^o_f_{(C_{10}H_8(s))}=201.6kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{(C_{10}H_8(g))}=224.1kJ/mol$

By inserting values from the above equation, we arrive at:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=(1\times 224.1)-(1\times 201.6)=22.5kJ/mol$

For the calculation of $K_1$ (at 25°C) regarding the provided value of Gibbs free energy, the following relationship is applied:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_1$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = Gibbs free energy = 22.5 kJ/mol = 22500 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1kJ = 1000J)

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = $25^oC=[273+25]K=298K$

$K_1$ = equilibrium constant at 25°C =?

Inserting values into the above equation yields:

$22500J/mol=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 298K\times \ln K_1\\\\K_1=1.14\times 10^{-4}$

To determine the equilibrium constant at 35°C, we refer to the equation proposed by Arrhenius, which states:

$\ln(\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{\Delta H}{T}(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})$

where,

$K_2$ = Equilibrium constant at 35°C =?

$K_1$ = Equilibrium constant at 25°C = $1.14\times 10^{-4}$

$\Delta H$ = Enthalpy change of the reaction = 72.1 kJ/mol = 72100 J

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

$T_1$ = Initial temperature = $25^oC=[273+25]K=298K$

$T_2$ = Final temperature = $35^oC=[273+35]K=308K$

By plugging values into the equation above, we obtain:

$\ln(\frac{K_2}{1.14\times 10^{-4}})=\frac{72100J/mol}{8.314J/K.mol}(\frac{1}{298}-\frac{1}{308})\\\\K_2=2.906\times 10^{-4}$

In order to calculate the partial pressure of naphthalene at 35°C, we utilize the equation for $K_p$ , which is:

$K_p=\frac{p_{C_{10}H_8(g)}}{p_{C_{10}H_8(g)}}=p_{C_{10}H_8(g)$

The partial pressure of the solid phase is considered to be 1 at equilibrium.

Therefore, the value for $K_2$ will equal $K_p$

$p_{C_{10}H_8}=2.906\times 10^{-4}$

Consequently, the partial pressure of naphthalene at 35°C is $2.906\times 10^{-4}$ atm.

What is the emperical formula for a compound containing 68.3% lead, 10.6% sulfur, and the remainder oxygen? a. Pb2SO4 b. PbSO3 c

Tems11 [2624]

Solution:

The molecular formula is PbSO₄, indicating lead sulfate

Option c.

Explanation:

The percentage makeup shows that in 100 g of this compound, there are:

68.3 g of Pb, 10.6 g of S, and (100 - 68.3 - 10.6) = 21.1 g of O

To find the moles of each element, we divide by their molar masses:

68.3 g Pb / 207.2 g/mol = 0.329 moles Pb

10.6 g S / 32.06 g/mol = 0.331 moles S

21.1 g O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 moles O

Next, we find the mole ratio by dividing each by the smallest number of moles:

0.329 / 0.329 = 1 Pb

0.331 / 0.329 = 1 S

1.32 / 0.329 = 4 O

Thus, the molecular formula is PbSO₄, representing lead sulfate.

4.05 kg + 567.95 g + 100.1 g add the correct value using the correct sig figs and or least precise degree of precision. When i d

Alekssandra [2891]

To determine the least degree of precision, we must base it on the mass of 4.05 kg or two decimal places. Thus, we add 0.56795 kg (0.57 kg) and 0.1001 kg (0.1 kg), resulting in a total of 4.72 kg.

<span>Conversely, to find the greatest degree of precision, we convert 4.05 kg into grams, which gives us 4050 g. Therefore, summing 4050 g with 567.95 g and 100.1 g yields 4718.05 grams, which rounds to 4718 g.</span>

<span>Using PV=nRT, which represents a universal constant for any state, we have: P1V1/n1T1=R and P2V2/n2T2=R; This implies that: P1V1/n1T1=P2V2/n2T2 Thus we can express it as V1/n1=V2/n2.

What fact do scientists believe provides evidence for the big bang theory?a. all comets follow elliptical orbits.b. most extra-s

alisha [2865]

Answer:

D

Reasoning:

This is due to the belief that at one time, the galaxy was condensed into a minute spot and the Big Bang event initiated the universe's expansion, propelling galaxies outward into space, distancing them from one another. Dark energy is theorized to exert the force from the Big Bang that drives this expansion.
