Chapter 18, Problem 25RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Disadvantages of nuclear power have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear power is utilized for nuclear reaction that releases nuclear energy to produce heat that is utilized in steam turbines to produce electricity in a plant. Nuclear power is produced from nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reactions. Nuclear decay also produces nuclear power.

6. The equilibrium constant for the reaction
2 HBr (g)
→ H2(g) + Br2(g)
Can be expressed by the empirical formula
11790 K
In K-6.375 + 0.6415 In(T K-¹)
-
T
Use this formula to determine A,H as a function of temperature. Calculate A,-H at 25 °C and at
100 °C.
3. Nitrosyl chloride, NOCI, decomposes according to
2 NOCI (g) → 2 NO(g)

for Kp in terms of the equilibrium value of the extent of reaction, Seq, and the pressure, P.
Given that K₂ = 2.00 × 10-4, calculate Seq/
