6.) This reaction occurs at constant temperature and pressure. The container in which this reaction is taking place has a movable wall. This allows the volume to change but keeps the pressure constant. At the beginning, only reactants are present. Then the reaction occurs. Given this, which of the following statements is true? (Circle one.) 2 H2 (g) + 1 CO (g) → 1 CH40 (g) (a) The volume stays the same as the reaction occurs (c) The volume increases as the reaction occurs (b) The volume decreases as the reaction occurs Explain: (d) Cannot be answered with the information given
1) Sulfuryl chloride, SO2Cl2, is a highly reactive gaseous compound. When heated, it decomposes as follows: SO2Cl2(g) ® SO2(g) + Cl2(g). This decomposition is endothermic. A sample of 3.509 grams of SO2Cl2 is placed in an evacuated 1.00 liter bulb and the temperature is raised to 375K.
(a) What would be the pressure in atmospheres in the bulb if no dissociation of the SO2Cl2(g) occurred?
(b) When the system has come to equilibrium at 375K, the total pressure in the bulb is found to be 1.43 atmospheres. Calculate the partial pressures of SO2, Cl2, and SO2Cl2 at equilibrium at 375K.
