- Consider the following reaction CS2(9) + 302(9) – CO2(9) + 2SO2(g) A mixture containing only CS2(g) and excess O2(g) at a total pressure of 100 kPa is placed in a sealed vessel. After the reaction is completed and the vessel is cooled to the initial temperature, the total pressure in the vessel drops to 80 kPa. What was the mole fraction of CS2(g) in the initial mixture?

Ten pounds of ethane are added, and the specific gravity of the gas mixture is measured to be 1.68. Assume that the gases act as ideal gases. What was the gas originally in the tank?arrow_forwardSulfur dioxide (A) diffuses through a stagnant layer of air (B) of 2 cm thickness at 45oC and 1.2 bar total pressure. The partial pressures of SO2 on the two sides of the air layer are PA0 = 0.85 bar and PAL =0.15 bar, respectively.

Ether and Aldehydearrow_forwardA 1 cm diameter spherical pellet of a strongly basic oxide is held at the center of a closed vessel of 5-liter volume. Initially the vessel is evacuated and then filled with an equimolar mixture of H₂S and N₂ at 25 °C and 1 atm total pressure. As the molecules of H₂S reach the surface of the pellet, they get absorbed instantaneously so that the concentration of H₂S at the surface remains zero at all time. Diffusion of H₂S occurs through a stagnant film of estimated thickness of 4 mm surrounding the pellet. The bulk of the gas may be assumed to have a uniform composition at any time. Calculate the time of absorption of 95% of H₂S in nitrogen is 1.73x10 m²/s at this temperature and 1 atm pressure.
