Methanol can be synthesized from monoxide and hydrogen gas at 525 k. a reaction mixture consisting initially of 1.8 moles of co and 2.2 moles of h2 in 5.0-l container was found to contain 0.6 moles of ch3oh after reaching equilibrium (a) calculate equilibrium concentration (in molarity) of co and h2 (b) calculate equilibrium constants kc and kp for this reaction

For a: The equilibrium concentration of CO and are 0.24 M and 0.32 M.

For b: The value of are 1.5625 and

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of container = 5 L

Initial moles of CO = 1.8 moles

Initial concentration of CO =

Initial moles of = 2.2 moles

Initial concentration of =

Equilibrium moles of = 0.6

Equilibrium concentration of =

The chemical equation for the formation of methanol follows:

t = 0                      0

So, the equilibrium concentration of CO =

The equilibrium concentration of =

The expression of for the given chemical reaction follows:

We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Relation of with is given by the formula:

Where,

= equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = ?

= equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = 1.5625

R = Gas constant =

T = temperature = 525 K

= change in number of moles of gas particles =

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the value of are 1.5625 and

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.

hope this :
