While ethanol (CH₂CH₂OH) is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene (CH₂CH₂) with water vapor at elevated temperatures. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 25 L tank with 12. mol of ethylene gas and 2.7 mol of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium he determines that it contains 10.3 mol of ethylene gas and 1.0 mol of water vapor. The engineer then adds another 0.68 mol of water, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. mol X O th

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.
