5.00 moles of N2 and 8.00 moles of H2 are placed in an empty container, the container is heated to 887 degrees Celsius, and a catalyst is added that catalyzes the rxn. of these gases to form NH3 as the only product. At equilibrium 1.00 mole of NH3 is found to be present. Find number of moles N2 and moles H2 present at equilibrium.

* I think that the concentrations of the reactants changes by 1 mole but I'm not enitrely sure if that is correct.

A surface water sample of 50 ml was taken to determine the concentration of an organic pollutant in the sample. An organic solvent was used as extracting solvent. On analysis of both phases by GC-MS, the pollutant concentration (mass/vol based) in the organic phase was 5 times that found in the aqueous phase. If after the second extraction (each using 50ml fresh organic solvent) the concentration of pollutant in the organic phase was 18 ppm (mass basis), determine the initial mass of pollutant in the water sample before any extractions were carried out. The density of solvent used is 0.65 g/ml & of water is 1.0 g/ml.

Question 1.

An environmental scientist isolates a pollutant (compound X) from a factory’s effluent stream and dissolves it in water. Experiments are then conducted using liquid – liquid extraction to optimize its extraction. Using diethyl ether as the extracting phase, the following distribution ratios, D, are calculated as a function of pH:

  1. Does compound X appear to have acidic functional groups, basic functional groups or both types of groups? Explain your answer.
  2. The distribution coefficient, KD, at pH 12 is 76.3. Calculate the Ka value for compound X.
  3. The scientist performed multiple extractions of the pollutant from 10 mL of water at pH 6 using a total volume of diethyl ether of 100 mL. What mass of compound X will remain in the aqueous phase after 4 consecutive   extractions if the initial concentration of the pollutant was 0.1 M.

(Note: molar mass of compound X = 76 g/mol)

Students performing vinegar analyses made several mistakes in their experiments. Explain in detail how each error below will affect the final result (% weight of acetic acid in vinegar) of each student's experiment. Show all steps of logic followed in analyzing the effects of the mistake (remember that the experiment had two parts):  

1.Student A used a wet beaker to transfer the NaOH solution to be standardized from its original container to the buret.

2.Student B did not fill the tip of the buret with titrant before starting the NaOH standardization, so the tip contained air when the titration was started, but was filled after the first standardization.

3.Student C over-titrated the php solution, but ignored it and continued on with calculations.  

4.Student D was in a hurry to leave the lab. He finished the titration of vinegar without waiting for the pink color to persist for 15 seconds. He recorded the volume of NaOH used, just to notice that the pink color disappeared. He ignored this observation and proceeded with calculations.
