A chemical engineer injects limestone (CaCO3) into the hot flue gas of a coal-burning power plant to form lime (CaO), which scrubs SO2 from the gas and forms gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O). Find Kc for the following reaction, if CO2 pressure is in atmospheres: CaCO3 (s) 4 CaO(s) + CO2(g) Kp = 2.1 x 10-4 (at 1000. K)

If wet silver carbonate is dried in a stream of hot air. the air must have a certain concentration level of carbon dioxide to prevent silver carbonate from decomposing by the reaction Ag2CO3(s)Ag2O(s)+CO2(g) H for this reaction is 79.14 kJ/mol in the temperature range of 25 to 125C. Given that the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in equilibrium with pure solid silver carbonate is 6.23 103 torr at 25C, calculate the partial pressure of CO2 necessary to prevent decomposition ofAg2CO3 at 110C. (Hint: Manipulate the equation in Exercise 79.)

Explain how the entropy of the universe increases when an aluminum metal can is made from aluminum ore. Thefirst step is to extract the ore, which is primarily a formof A12O3, from the ground. After it is purified by freeingit from oxides of silicon and iron, aluminum oxide ischanged to the metal by an input of electrical energy. 2Al2O3(s)electricalenergy4Al(s)+3O2(g)
Consider the reaction H2(g)+Br2(g)2HBr(g) where H = 103.8 kJ/mol. In a particular experiment, equal moles of H2(g) at 1.00 atm and Br2(g) at 1.00 atm were mixed in a 1.00-L flask at 25C and allowed to reach equilibrium. Then the molecules of H2 at equilibrium were counted using a very sensitive technique, and 1.10 1013 molecules were found. For this reaction, calculate the values of K, G, and S.
Hydrogenation, the addition of hydrogen to an organic compound, is an industrially important reaction. Calculate rH, rS, and rG for the hydrogenation of octene, C8H16, to give octane, C8H19 at 25 C.
