There are actually several reactions that take place when the solid Hg(SCN)2 is ignited: 2Hg(SCN)2(s)2HgS(s)+CS2(s)+C3N4(s)CS2(s)+3O2(g)CO2(g)+2SO2(g)2C3N4(s)3(CN)2(g)+N2(g)HgS(s)+O2(g)Hg(l)+SO2(g) A 42.4-g sample of Hg(SCN)2 is placed into a 2.4-L vessel at 21°C. The vessel also contains air at a pressure of 758 torr. The container is sealed and the mixture is ignited, causing the reaction sequence above to occur. Once the reaction is complete, the container is cooled back to the original temperature of 21°C. (a) Without doing numerical calculations, predict whether the final pressure in the vessel will be greater than, less than, or equal to the initial pressure. Explain your answer. (b) Calculate the final pressure and compare your result with your prediction. (Assume that the mole fraction of O2 in air is 0.21.)arrow_forward
- A 5.00 L flask is evacuated and 44.81 g of solid dinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4, is introduced at −196 °C. The sample is then warmed to 25 °C during which time the N2O4 vaporizes and some of it dissociates to form brown NO2 gas. The pressure slowly increases until it stabilizes at 3.27 atm. 1. Write the balanced reaction for the dissociation of N2O4. 2. What would be the pressure in the flask at 25 °C if the gas were all N2O4? 3. What would be the pressure in the flask at 25 °C if all of the gas converted into NO2? 4. What are the mole fractions of N2O4 and NO2 once the pressure in the flask stabilizes at 3.27 atm?arrow_forwardSulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen in the presence of plati- num to give sulfur trioxide: 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g) Suppose that at one stage in the reaction, 26.0 mol SO2, 83.0 mol O2, and 17.0 mol SO3 are present in the reaction vessel at a total pressure of 0.950 atm. Calculate the mole fraction of SO3 and its partial pressure.arrow_forwardWhile ethanol CH3CH2OH is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene CH2CH2 with water vapor at elevated temperatures. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 200.mL flask with 1.2atm of ethylene gas and 1.3atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 0.25atm of ethylene gas and 0.35atm of water vapor. The engineer then adds another 0.30atm of ethylene, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.arrow_forward
- In order to produce solid iron, it first must bc processed from its orc, Fe2O1, in a blast furnace. During operation, CO gas (flue gas) is introduced into the furnace at 1650 °C and a pressure of 250 kPa. In this process flue gas reduces iron to its elemental form in the following reaction: 41.
