The hydrocarbon naphthalene was frequently used in mothballs until recently, when it was discovered that human inhalation of naphthalene vapors can lead to hemolytic anemia. Naphthalene is 93.71% carbon by mass, and a 0.256-mole sample of naphthalene has a mass of 32.8 g. What is the molecular formula of naphthalene? This compound works as a pesticide in mothballs by. sublimation of the .solid so that it fumigates enclosed spaces with its vapors according to the equation Naphthalene(s)naphthalene(g)K=4.29106(at298K) If 3.00 g solid naphthalene is placed into an enclosed space with a volume of 5.00 L at 25C, what percentage of the naphthalene will have sublimed once equilibrium bas been established?
The figures below represent the following reaction at equilibrium at different temperatures. A2(g)+3B2(g)2AB3(g)where squares represent atom A and circles represent atom B. Is the reaction exothermic?
Hemoglobin (Hb) binds to both oxygen and carbon monoxide. When the carbon monoxide replaces the oxygen in an organism, the following reaction occurs: HbO2(aq)+CO(g)HbCO(aq)+O2(g) At 37C, K is about 200. When equal concentrations of HbO2 and HbCO are present, the effect of CO inhalation is fatal. Assuming PO2=0.21atm, what is PCO when [ HbO2 ]=[ HbCO ]?
Consider the following reaction at 75C: 3R(s)+2Q(g)A(g)+5B(l)K=9.4 A 10.0-L sample contains 0.30 mol of R and Q and 0.50 mol of A and B. In which direction will the reaction proceed?
A compound, X, decomposes at 131C according to the following equation: 2X(g)A(g)+3C(g)K=1.1103 If a flask initially contains X, A, and C, all at partial pressures of 0.250 atm, in which direction will the reaction proceed?
A gaseous material XY(g) dissociates to some extent to produce X(g) and Y(g): XY(g)X(g)+Y(g) A 2.00-g sample of XY (molar mass = 165 g/mol) is placed in a container with a movable piston at 25C. The pressure is held constant at 0.967 atm. As XY begins to dissociate, the piston moves until 35.0 mole percent of the original XY has dissociated and then remains at a constant position. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the density of the gas in the container after the piston has stopped moving, and determine the value of K for this reaction of 25C.

7-12 Two kinds of gas molecules are reacted at a set temperature. The gases are blown into the reaction vessel from two tubes. In setup A, the two tubes are aligned parallel to each other; in setup B, they are 900 to each other; and in setup C, they are aligned directly opposite each other. Which setup would yield the most effective collisions?
A 4.72-g sample of methanol (CH3OH) was placed in an otherwise empty 1.00-L flask and heated to 250.C to vaporize the methanol. Over time, the methanol vapor decomposed by the following reaction: CH3OH(g)CO(g)+2H2(g) After the system has reached equilibrium, a tiny hole is drilled in the side of the flask allowing gaseous compounds to effuse out of the flask. Measurements of the effusing gas show that it contains 33.0 times as much H2(g) as CH3OH(g). Calculate K for this reaction at 250.C.
The following series of diagrams represent the reaction XY followed over a period of time. The X molecules are red and the Y molecules are green. At the end of the time period depicted, has the reaction system reached equilibrium? Justify your answer with a one-sentence explanation.
The following is a thought experiment. Imagine that you put a little water in a test tube and add some NaF crystals. Immediately after you add NaF, you observe that the crystals begin dissolving. The quantity of solid NaF decreases, hut before long, it appears that no more NaF is dissolving. The solution is saturated. The equation for the dissolution of NaF in water is NaF(s) —* Na (aq) + F~(aq). As NaF dissolves, what do you think happens to the rate of dissolution? Describe w hat is occurring on the molecular level. Assume that the reverse reaction, Na+(aq) + F“(aq) —* NaF(s), also occurs as the crystal dissolves. In other words, both dissolution and precipitation are taking place. When it appears that there is no more change in the quantin’ of NaF dissolving (the solution is saturated), w hat has happened to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions? Explain your answer.
