Consider the hypothetical reaction A(g) + 2B(g) ⇌ 2 C(g), for which Kc = 0.25 at a centain temperature. A 1.00-L reaction vessel is loaded with 1.00 mol of compound C, which is allowed to reach equilibrium. Let the variable x represent the number of mol/L of compound A present at equilibrium.
a. In terms of x, what are the equilibrium concentrations of compounds B and C?
b. What limits must be placed on the value of x so that all concentrations are positive?
c. By putting the equilibrium concentrations (in terms of x ) into the equilibrium- constant expression, derive an equation that can be solved for x.
d. The equation from part(c ) is a cubic equation (one that has the form ax3 + bx2 + cx + d =0). In general, cubic equations cannot be solved in closed form. However, you can estimate the solution by plotting the cubic equation in the allowed range of x that you specified in part (b). The point at which the cubic equation crosses the x-axis is the solution.
e. From the plot in part (d), estimate the equilibrium concentrations of A, B, and C. (Hint : You can check the accuracy of your answer by substituting these concentrations into the equilibrium expression.)

What is the IUPAC name of each of the the following? 0 CH3CHCNH₂ CH3 CH3CHCNHCH2CH3 CH3arrow_forwardYou have now performed a liquid-liquid extraction protocol in Experiment 4. In doing so, you manipulated and exploited the acid-base chemistry of one or more of the compounds in your mixture to facilitate their separation into different phases. The key to understanding how liquid- liquid extractions work is by knowing which layer a compound is in, and in what protonation state. The following liquid-liquid extraction is different from the one you performed in Experiment 4, but it uses the same type of logic. Your task is to show how to separate apart Compound A and Compound B. . Complete the following flowchart of a liquid-liquid extraction. Handwritten work is encouraged. • Draw by hand (neatly) only the appropriate organic compound(s) in the boxes. . Specify the reagent(s)/chemicals (name is fine) and concentration as required in Boxes 4 and 5. • Box 7a requires the solvent (name is fine). • Box 7b requires one inorganic compound. • You can neatly complete this assignment by hand and…arrow_forwardb) Elucidate compound D w) mt at 170 nd shows c-1 stretch at 550cm;' The compound has the ff electronic transitions: 0%o* and no a* 1H NMR Spectrum (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 ppm 13C{H} NMR Spectrum (CDCl3, 100 MHz) Solvent 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 ppm ppm ¹H-13C me-HSQC Spectrum ppm (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 5 ¹H-¹H COSY Spectrum (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 0.5 10 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 10 15 20 20 25 30 30 -35 -1.0 1.5 -2.0 -2.5 3.0 -3.5 0.5 ppm 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 ppmarrow_forward
