You would like to set up a business to reduce atmospheric SO2(g) using the reaction: 8 SO2 (g) + heat <--> S8 (g) + 8O2 (g)

1. State three different ways you could make this reaction more effective.

2. Explain why one of the ways you gave above might not be cost effective.

Expert Solution

According to Lechatlier's principle for an endothermic reaction (heat absorbing reaction)

1.

(a) Increasing temperature could make this reaction more effective.

(b) Introducing a catlayst oxygen-deficient ferrite (Fe₃O_4-Â¿) or Pt/CeO₂ could make this reaction more effective.

(c) As product moles (1 + 8 = 9) are higher than reactant moles (8) hence reducing pressure could make this reaction more effective.

2. Using a catalyst (regenerative chemical is called as catalyst after completion of reaction) decreases the activation energy so that the reaction can be in progress under low temperatures also, this will reduce cost for production of thermal energy and also reaction will go faster (less time required compare to without catalyst), saves time and money.

The quantity of atmospheric SO2(g) can be determined by reaction with H2O2(aq) The amount of sulfuric acid produced can be determined by titration with sodium hydroxide of known concentration. An 571.0 gram sample of an air that is known to contain sulfur dioxide was reacted with excess hydrogen peroxide. Given that 18.50 mL of a 0.00250 M NaOH(aq) were required to neutralize the H2SO4(aq) produced, calculate the mass percentage of SO2(g) in the air sample.

For the reaction SO3(g) + NO(g) NO2(g) + SO2(g) Kc was found to be 0.500 at a certain temperature. A reaction mixture is prepared in which 0.130 mol NO2 and 0.130 mol of SO2 are placed in a 3.00 L vessel. After the system reaches equilibrium what will be the equilibrium concentrations of all four gases?

For the reaction SO2(g) + NO2(g) == NO(g) + SO3(g), Kc = 85.0 at 460

Using data from the Thermodynamic Data table, calculate ΔG for the reaction 2 H2S(g) + SO2(g) equilibrium reaction arrow 3 Srhombic(s) + 2 H2O(g) for the following conditions at 25°C. (Assume PA, PB, and PC are the partial pressures of H2S(g), SO2(g), and H2O(g), respectively.) PA = 1.3 ✕ 10−4 atm PB = 1.4 ✕ 10−2 atm PC = 2.9 ✕ 10−2 atm

The reaction SO2(g)+2H2S(g)←−→3S(s)+2H2O(g) is the basis of a suggested method for removal of SO2 from power-plant stack gases. The standard free energy of each substance are ΔG∘fS(s) = 0 kJ/mol, ΔG∘fH2O(g) = -228.57 kJ/mol, ΔG∘fSO2(g) = -300.4 kJ/mol, ΔG∘fH2S(g) = -33.01 kJ/mol. C) If PSO2 = PH2S and the vapor pressure of water is 20 torr , calculate the equilibrium SO2 pressure in the system at 298 K.

You would like to set up an annuity so that, after you retire, you can take out the interest from the maturity value every month to pay living expenses (you predit that you will need $1200 every month). If you start saving 20 years before retirement into an account paying 6% interest, how large of a monthly payment will you need to make?

Consider the reaction at 298 K SO2(g) + 2H2S(g) ? 3S(s) + 2H2O (g) The ?G

a)You have a galvanic cell set up like a Daniell cell but using a silver electrode in a silver nitrate solution and an iron electrode in an FeSO4 solution. Instead of a semipermeable membrane, you use a salt bridge. What is a salt bridge? Where is cathode and anode? What is the voltage under standard contitions? If the silver nitrate solution is 0.2 mmol/l and the FeSO4 solution is 3 mol/l, what is the voltage you measure? Compare to the...
