Acetylene reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a cata- lyst to form ethane according to the following reaction: C,H,(g) + 2 H2(g) → C,Hó(g) The pressure of a mixture of acetylene and an excess of hydrogen decreases from 0.100 to 0.042 atm in a vessel of a given volume after the catalyst is introduced, and the temperature is restored to its initial value after the reac- tion reaches completion. What was the mole fraction of acetylene in the original mixture?

In the gaseous form, SO3 is a significant air pollutant, being the primary agent in acid rain. SO3 can further react with nitrogen monoxide to create NO2 which is also an air pollutant, as seen in the reaction below: SO3 (g) + NO (g) – NO2 (g) + SO2 (g) At 298K, the concentrations of the four gasses were found to be: [NO] = 0.18 mol/L [SO3] = 0.52 mol/L [SO2] = 1.34 mol/L [NO2]= 2.56 mol/L %3D

A methanol synthesis reaction will be run in a container with a moveable piston to allow for changes in volume. The gas phase reaction is illustrated below: CO(g) + 2H2(g) = CH3OH(g) At equilibrium, the reaction is run at 400K in a 10L flask; there are 3.09 moles of CO and 1.11 moles H₂ initially. At constant volume, 0.830 mol H2(g) is added to the reaction. Solve for the partial pressures of the gases in the container when the reaction returns to equilibrium. Really not sure how I should solve this problem, please help me out my showing step by step what I should do. Thanks :)
When exposed to UV light, phosgene (COCL2) decomposes according to the reaction COCL2(g)->CO(g) + Cl2(g). All the air is removed from a flask. The flask is then filled with phosgene to a pressure of 2.8 atm and then exposed to UV light. If the temperature remains constant during the decomposition, what is the partial pressure of Cl2 (g) in the flask after the decomposition is complete, assuming 100% yield?
Please show all steps clearly to this problem. Thanks
Nitrogen dioxide is one of the many oxides of nitrogen (often collectively called "NOx") that are of interest to atmospheric chemistry. It can react with itself to form another form of NOx, dinitrogen tetroxide. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 125.L tank at 13.°C with 16.mol of nitrogen dioxide gas. He then raises the temperature considerably, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium determines that it contains 6.9mol of nitrogen dioxide gas. The engineer then adds another 8.0mol of nitrogen dioxide, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of dinitrogen tetroxide after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
