Dinitrogen pentoxide decomposes in the gas phase to form nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas. The reaction is first order in dinitrogen pentoxide and has a half-life of 2.81 h at 25 ∘C. If a 1.7 −L reaction vessel initially contains 755 torr of N2O5 at 25 ∘C, what partial pressure of O2 will be present in the vessel after 215 minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer : The partial pressure of [tex]O_2[/tex] is, 222.93 torr

Explanation :  

Half-life = 2.81 hr = 168.6 min

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

[tex]k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]

[tex]k=\frac{0.693}{168.6min}[/tex]

[tex]k=4.11\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of [tex]O_2[/tex]

The balanced chemical reaction is:

                           [tex]2N_2O_5(g)\rightarrow 4NO_2(g)+O_2(g)[/tex]

Initial pressure   760                0             0

At eqm.             (760-2x)            4x            x

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{P_o}{P_t}[/tex]

where,

k = rate constant

t = time passed by the sample  = 215 min

a = initial pressure of [tex]N_2O_5[/tex] = 760 torr

a - x = pressure of [tex]N_2O_5[/tex] at equilibrium = (760-2x) torr

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

[tex]215=\frac{2.303}{4.11\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{760}{760-2x}[/tex]

[tex]x=222.93torr[/tex]

The partial pressure of [tex]O_2[/tex] = x = 222.93 torr

We have that the partial pressure of O2   is mathematically given as

x = 216.7 torr

From the question we are told

  • Vinegar, a common household item, is used in cleaning, cooking, baking and meat preservation.
  • Vinegar contains acetic acid, CH3COOH, which gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell.
  • What is the percent composition of carbon in acetic acid

Partial pressure

Generally the equation for the rate constant    is mathematically given as

k = 0.693/ 2.81

k=0.247 h-1

Where

t = 205 min

t= 205 / 60

t=3.42

With

[tex]k = 1/t*ln\frac{Po}{Pt}\\\\0.247 = 1/3.42 * ln\frac{760}{Pt}\\\\Pt = 326.6 torr[/tex]

Generally the Partial pressure of Oxygen

  • x = 216.7 torr
