Question
- Mustard gas, a chemical weapon used in World War II and more recently in the Middle East has
been shown to have a therapeutic index that enables it to be used as an effective agent in the chemotherapy of Hodgkin’s disease. It can be generated according to the reaction:
SCl₂₍g₎ + 2C₂H₄₍g₎ ⇋ S(CH₂CH₂Cl)₂₍g₎
An evacuated 2.5-liter flask at 20.0°C is filled with 0.129 mol of SCl2 and 0.296 mol C2H4. After equilibrium is established, 0.01745 mol mustard gas is present.
- What is the partial pressure of each gas at equilibrium?
- What is the equilibrium constant K at 20.0oC?

- Suppose you have 1.25 moles of gaseous napthalene (C10H8) at T = 292 K. What is the average kinetic energy of one molecule of napthalene? (The molar mass of napthalene is 128 g/mol. You may assume that the gas molecules behave ideally.)arrow_forwardA student experimentally determines the gas law constant, R, by reacting a small piece of magnesium with excess hydrochloric acid and then collecting the hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer. Based L-atm on experimentally collected data, the student calculates R to equal 0.0832 mol·K L-atm Ideal gas law constant from literature: 0.08206 mol·K (a) Determine the percent error for the student's R-value. Percent error = % (b) For the statements below, identify the possible source(s) of error for this student's trial. The student notices a large air bubble in the eudiometer after collecting the hydrogen gas, but does not dislodge it. The student does not clean the zinc metal with sand paper. The student does not equilibrate the water levels within the eudiometer and the beaker at the end of the reaction. The water level in the eudiometer is 1-inch above the water level in the beaker. The student uses the barometric pressure for the lab to calculate R.arrow_forwardAmmonia is among the top ten synthesized compounds. Its many uses include the manufacture of ammonium nitrate and other fertilizers. Ammonia decomposes at high temperatures. In an experiment to explore this behavior, 2.00 moles of gaseous NH3 are sealed in a rigid 1-liter vessel. The vessel is heated at 800 K and some of the NH3 decomposes in the following reaction:2NH3(g)<-->N2(g)+3H2(g) The system eventually reaches equilibrium and is found to contain 1.74 mole of NH3.
