A stoichiometric mixture of CO(g) and H2(g) was allowed to react in two different 2.0L rigid containers at a constant temperature of 298K. The reaction is represented by the equation above. Diagram 1 represents the uncatalyzed reaction and diagram 2 represents the catalyzed reaction one hour after the reactants were mixed. Which of the following correctly explains the experimental results represented in the particle diagrams?
A.) Although the reaction is thermodynamically favorable because ΔG°<0 based on the value of K, only the catalyzed reaction could proceed in one hour because its reactant molecules had a higher average kinetic energy.
B.) Although the reaction is thermodynamically favorable because ΔG°<0 based on the value of K, only the catalyzed reaction could proceed in one hour because it has a lower activation-energy reaction pathway.
C.) The reaction is not thermodynamically favorable because ΔG°>0 based on the value of K, but the addition of a catalyst improved the…

Ethylene (CH2CH2) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses. For example, worldwide about 8.0 x 1010kg of polyethylene are made from ethylene each year, for use in everything from household plumbing to artificial joints. Natural sources of ethylene are entirely inadequate to meet world demand, so ethane (CH3CH3) from natural gas is "cracked" in refineries at high temperature in a kinetically complex reaction that produces ethylene gas and hydrogen gas.
Suppose an engineer studying ethane cracking fills a 30.0L reaction tank with 24.0atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 800.°C. He believes Kp= 0.040 at this temperature.
Calculate the percent by mass of ethylene the engineer expects to find in the equilibrium gas mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken about the correct value of Kp, and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what he actually observes.
