Amixture of gaseous sulfur dioxide and oxygen are added to a reaction vessel and heated to 1000 k where they react to form so3(g). if the vessel contains 0.669 atm so2(g), 0.395 atm o2(g), and 0.0851 atm so3(g) after the system has reached equilibrium, what is the equilibrium constant kp for the reaction:

b. examine and describe cells

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
