Question 1 Report

a)(i) State Graham's law of diffusion.

(ii) Calculate the vapour density of a triatomic gas X if its relative: atomic mass is 16.

(iii) Equal volumes of gases Y and Z are maintained at the same temperature and pressure. If the mass of a molecule of Y is twice that of Z state and explain which of the molecules has the, greater average velocity.

 

(b) The graph below is the ratio curve for the following reaction carried out in an open vessel.

MgCO\(_{3(s)}\) + 2HCI\(_{(aq)}\) \(\to\)  MgCl\(_{2(aq)}\) + CO\(_{2(g)}\) + H\(_2\)\(_{(l)}\).


 

(i) For how long did reaction occur?

(ii) Why was there a loss in mass?

(iii) State whether reaction rate was fastest at the beginning, the middle or towards the end of the reaction. Give reason for our answer.

(iv) List three reaction conditions that can affect the slope of the curve

 

(c) Consider the following reaction at equilibrium: PCI\(_{5(g)}\) \(\rightleftharpoons\) PCI\(_{3(g)}\)); \(\Delta\)H = +95 kJmol\(^{-}\)

(i) Write an expression for the equilibrium constant K.

(ii) Predict the effect of the following on the equilibrium position.

I. Increased pressure

II. Increased temperature

III. Removal of chlorine Sketch an energy profile diagram for the forward reaction.
