In a study of the formation of NOx air pollution, a chamber heated to 2200°C was filled with air (0.790 atm N2, 0.210 atm O2). What are the equilibrium partial pressures of N2, O2, and NO if Kp = 0.0490 for the following reaction: N2(g)+O2(g) ⇄ NO2(g)

Solutions

Expert Solution

N2(g) + 2O2(g) ⇄ 2NO2(g)

I 0.79 0.21 0

C -x -2x 2x

E 0.79-x 0.21-2x 2x

Kp = P^2NO/PN2*P^2O2

0.049 = (2x)^2/(0.79-x)(0.21-2x)^2

0.049*(0.79-x)(0.21-2x)^2 = 4x^2

x = 0.017

PN2 = 0.79-x = 0.79-0.017 = 0.773atm

PO2 = 0.21-2x = 0.21-2*0.017 = 0.176atm

PNO2 = 2x = 2*0.017 = 0.034atm

Warren works for the Air Pollution Study at the University of Houston, and studies the correlation between air pollution and the disease atherosclerosis. Nationally, 40% of adults suffer from atherosclerosis. Warren suspects that the proportion of people with atherosclerosis in high-pollution areas is higher. In a SRS of 300 residents of high-pollution areas, he finds that 140 subjects have atherosclerosis. At the 1% significance level, is this good evidence that people in high-pollution areas are more likely to have atherosclerosis?...

A researcher is interested in studying how smoking affects air pollution in rooms. Air pollution is measured as the amount of suspended particulate matter. A random sample of 14 rooms in homes where there is no smokers, and a random sample of 22 rooms in homes where there is a smoker were selected. Assume that all necessary normality assumptions are met. Below are some summaries: mean standard deviation sample without smokers 5.2 2.3 sample with smokers 6.7 4.4 sample of...

Researchers conducted a cohort study of the association between air pollution and asthma. The rate ratio was 8.0, when comparing those exposed to high levels of air pollution with those exposed to low levels of air pollution. Which of the following issues should the researchers consider when making their study conclusions and when thinking about causality? Choose all that apply and explain your choice. a) The rate ratio of 8.0 indicates a strong association, which lends support for causality b)...
