1 mole of HCl (g) + 0.5Mole O2(g) are mixed and allowed to attain equillibrium : 4HCl(g) + O2(g) <-----> 2Cl2(g) + 2H2O(g) at 400C Equillibrium pressure =1atm 0.39mole of Cl2 is formed calculate Kp?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Yahoo! have u got the last question?????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then y u didn't gave me the medal:(.......lol and let solve it together:) r u??????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh..i really forgot abt that..) i will give u then..) wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup:) now first write Kp for it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but first of all i did nt understand wat it really meant by ::: 1 mole of HCl (g) + 0.5Mole O2(g) are mixed and allowed to attain equillibrium : 4HCl(g) + O2(g) <-----> 2Cl2(g) + 2H2O(g)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4HCl(g) + O2(g) <-----> 2Cl2(g) + 2H2O(g) this is given the standard equation of reaction which tell that 4 moles of HCl react with 1 mole but you have 1mole of HCl and 0.5 mole of O2 that is one is in excess present or we can say the other one is in limiting:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it says we have 0.39 moles of Cl2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go with step by step that cl2 help in calculating dissociation so first tell me which one is limiting and which one is in excess????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O2 is excess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 HCl react with 1 O2 So 0.5 O2 react with 4/1 * 0.5 = 2 Moles of Hcl but we have only 1 mole

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right so we always solve whole equation taking the limiting reagent:) now write how many moles are of CL2 are formed?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 Hcl --- > 2 Cl2 i Hcl ----> 2/4 * 1 = 0.5 Mole Cl2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how many moles are formed???????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.39

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so write the no. of moles of each one at the initial of reaction and at the equillibrium taking dissociation constant a:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did nt get u..)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 mole HCl react with 0.25 Mole of O2to give 0.5Mole of Cl2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But we have 0.5 Moles of O2 means 0.25Mole remian unreacted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in last question i wrote at t=0 and t=equlibrium i want u to wrote this:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Intial 1 0.5 0.39

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 0.5 (0.39 why)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Yahoo! 0.39 is after the dissociation at initial no reaction takes place so 1 0.5 nothing more:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 0.5 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Aperogalics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya now it is correct now write its equilibrium one:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1-a 0.5 -a 2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope you are not taking moles in consideration 1-a 0.25+1/4(0.25-a) 1/2(a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hm..hm...yes... is 1/2 (a) = 0.39 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup get a=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Yahoo!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1a }{ 2 } = 0.39\] \[a = 0.78\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now write Kp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thxxx.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it means now you can do it...........:)
