Chapter 13, Problem 13.133MP
Consider the sublimation of mothballs at 27°C in a room having dimensions 8.0 ft × 10.0 ft × 3.0 ft. Assume that the mothballs are pure solid naphthalene (density 1.16 g/cm3) and that they are spheres with a diameter of 12.0 mm. The equilibrium constant Kc for the sublimation of naphthalene is 3.40 × 10–6 at 27°C.
C10H8(s) ⇌ C10H8(g)
- (a) When excess mothballs are present, how many gaseous naphthalene molecules are in the room at equilibrium?
- (b) How many mothballs are required to saturate the room with gaseous naphthalene?
