Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The validation corresponding to the fact that data of carbon monoxide coverage and pressure follows a Langmuir isotherm is to be stated. The equilibrium constant for the adsorption process is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The isotherm model that describes the adsorption process, if an adsorbate acts as an ideal gas at the isothermal situation is known as Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. In the given isothermal situation, the partial pressure of the adsorbate is related to the volume of the adsorbate which is adsorbed on the solid adsorbent.

- Sodium hydride (NaH) crystallizes in the rock-salt structure, with four formula units of NaH per cubic unit cell. A beam of monoenergetic neutrons, selected to have a velocity of 2.639 × 103 ms-1 , is scattered in second order through an angle of 2u= 36.26° by the parallel faces ofthe unit cells of a sodium hydride crystal.(a) Calculate the wavelength of the neutrons.(b) Calculate the edge length of the cubic unit cell.(c) Calculate the distance from the center of an Na+ ion to the center of a neighboring H- ion.(d) If the radius of an Na+ ion is 0.98 Å, what is the radius of an H- ion, assuming the two ions are in contact?arrow_forwardOne of the chemical controversies of the nineteenth century concerned the element beryllium (Be). Berzelius originally claimed that beryllium was a trivalent element (forming Be3+ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be2O3. This resulted in a calculated atomic mass of 13.5 for beryllium. In formulating his periodic table, Mendeleev proposed that beryllium was divalent (forming Be2+ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be2O3. This assumption gives an atomic mass of 9.0. In 1894, A. Combes (Comptes Rendus 1894, p. 1221) reacted beryllium with the anion C5H7O2and measured the density of the gaseous product. Combess data for two different experiments are as follows: I II Mass 0.2022 g 0.2224 g Volume 22.6 cm3 26.0 cm3 Temperature 13C 17C Pressure 765.2 mm Hg 764.6 mm If beryllium is a divalent metal, the molecular formula of the product will be Be(C5H7O2)2; if it is trivalent, the formula will be Be(C5H7O2)3. Show how Combess data help to confirm that beryllium is a divalent metal.arrow_forwardGases produced by a chemical reaction can easily be collected over water.
