Hydrogen is prepared commercially by the reaction of methane and water vapor at elevated temperatures. CH4(g) + H2 O(g) ⇌ 3H2(g) + CO(g)What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction if a mixture at equilibrium contains gases with the following concentrations: CH4, 0.126 M; H2O, 0.242 M; CO, 0.126 M; H2 1.15 M, at a temperature of 760 °C?
In a vacuum chamber designed for surface-science experiments, the pressure of
residual gas is kept as low as possible so that surfaces can be kept clean. The
coverage of a surface by a single monolayer requires about 10 19 atoms per m².
What pressure would be needed to deposit less than one monolayer per hour from
residual gas? You may assume that if a molecule hits the surface, it sticks.
For divers going to great depths, the composition of the air in the tank must be modified. The ideal composition is to have approximately the same number of O2 molecules per unit volume as in surface air (to avoid oxygen poisoning), and to use helium instead of nitrogen for the remainder of the gas (to avoid nitrogen narcosis, which results from nitrogen dissolving in the bloodstream). Of the molecules in dry surface air, 78.0% are N2, 21.0% are O2, and 1.00% are Ar. (Assume that the density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3 and the temperature is 20.0°C.) Density of dry air at 20.0°C is 1.20 kg/m3. Molar mass of N2 is 14.007 g/mol, O2 is 15.999 g/mol, and Ar is 39.948 g/mol.
For a diver going to a depth of 141 m, what percentage of the gas molecules in the tank should be O2?
