One method for producing hydrogen is to react coke (mostly solid carbon) with steam to make syngas, a mixture of CO and hydrogen

C(s) + H₂O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + H₂(g)     K_p = 0.45 at 900 K     ΔH = +131 kJ

What is the partial pressure of CO at equilibrium when 9.59 atm of H₂O(g) is heated with excess C(s) at 900 K?

After equilibrium is reached, CO(g) is added.

In which direction will the reaction shift?

Will the equilibrium constant, K, increase or decrease?

The equilibrium constant (KP) is 0.16 at a particular temperature for the reaction: N₂O₄(g) ⇌ 2NO₂(g)

Given the following sets of initial conditions, what is the net change that must occur for the reaction to reach equilibrium? Does the reaction shift left to reach equilibrium, does the reaction shift right to reach equilibrium or is the reaction at equilibrium at these initial concentrations so no net change will occur?

equilibrium, left, right? P_NO2 = 0.154 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.148 atm

equilibrium, left, right? P_NO2 = 0.210 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.138 atm

equilibrium, left, right ? P_NO2 = 0.149 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.05 atm

equilibrium, left, right? P_NO2 = 0.087 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.13 atm

equilibrium, left, right? P_NO2 = 0.068 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.058 atm

1. The Ostwald process is used commercially to produce nitric acid, which is, in turn, used in many modern chemical processes. In the first step of the Ostwald process, ammonia is reacted with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. What is the maximum mass of H2O that can be produced by combining 67.1 g of each reactant?

This problem is a long one, but fairly conceptual in nature.

a. For each of the following salts, write the reaction that occurs when it dissociates in water: NaCl(s), NaCN(s), KClO2(s), NH4NO3(s), KBr(aq), NaF(s).

b. Consider each of the reactions that you wrote above, and identify the aqueous ions that *could* be proton donors (acids) or proton acceptors (bases). Briefly *explain how you decided which ions to choose*.

c. For each of the acids and bases that you identified in part b, write the chemical reaction it can undergo in aqueous solution (its reaction with water).

d. Are there any reactions that you have written above that you anticipate will occur to such an extent that the pH of the solution will be affected? As part of your answer, be sure to explain how you decided.

e. Assume that in each case, above, 0.01 mol of the salt was dissolved in enough water at 25 deg Celsius to make 1.0L of solution. In each case, what additional information would you need in order to calculate the pH? If there are cases where no additional information is required, be sure to state that as well.

f. Say you take 0.01 mol of NH4CN and dissolve it in enough water at 25 deg Celsius to make 1.0L of solution. Using chemical reactions and words, explain how you would go about determining what effect this salt will have the pH of the solution. Be sure to list any additional information you would need to arrive at an answer.

Following are the post-lab questions for the experiment: Magnetic Behavior and Electron Configuration of Compounds Version

I am trying to find the percent yield of my final product in a Diels-Alder reaction. The weight of our final endo product (Cis-norborene-5,6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride) was 5.025 grams. When performing the reaction, we used 2.5 grams of maleic anhydride and 2.5mL of cyclopentadine. Assume average molecular weight for the reagents.

How would you go about finding the %RAD for a titration experiment?

What is the mass per repeating unit of PET (in g/mol)? explain why this number should be used ffor determning limiting reagent and yield and not the actual molecular weight of the polymer (which is >> 10,000 g/mol). I know that the mass per repeating unit of PET is 192 g/mol.
