Mustard gas, used in chemical warfare in World War I, has been found to be an effective agent in the chemotherapy of Hodgkin's disease. It can be produced according to the following reaction: SCl2(g)+2C2H4(g)S(CH2CH2Cl)2(g)An evacuated 5.0-1- flask at 20.0C is filled with 0.258 mol SCl2 and 0.592 mol C2H4. After equilibrium is established, 0.0349 mol mustard gas is present. (a) What is the partial pressure of each gas at equilibrium? (b) What is K at 20.0C?
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.
