General equilibrium problems. ICE type problems. a. Isopropyl alcohol can dissociate into acetone and hydrogen according to the reaction below. At 179 °C, the equilibrium constant for this dehydrogenation reaction is 0.444. i) If 0.166moles of isopropyl alcohol is placed in a 10 L vessel and heated to 179 °C, what is the partialpressure of acetone when equilibrium is attained

Explanation:

In a gaseous reaction mixture partial pressure is proportion to mole of the gas concerned .

Pressure of the reactant gas from gas equation

PV = nRT

P = nRT / V

= .166 x .082 x ( 273+179) / 10

= .615 atm

C₃H₇OH   =     (CH₃)₂CO     +    H₂

before reaction moles in terms of pressure

.615                       0                      0

After reaction

.615 - x                     x                     x

.444 =  x² / ( .615 - x )

.273 - .444 x = x²

x² + .444 x - .273 = 0

x = .361 atm

So partial pressure of acetone is .361 atm at equilibrium.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
