The predominant forms of heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Fe, Cu, Ni, etc.) in aerobic sediments are the carbonates and the oxide or hydroxide forms. An important consideration in modeling the sediment is the stable chemical form of the metal in question. Consider the reaction: AG = 25 kJ/mol Pb(OH)₂ (s) + CO₂(aq) → PbCO₂ (s) + H₂O a. At what partial pressure of CO₂(g) will Pb(OH)2(s) and PbCO3(s) be at equilibrium? b. If the system is at equilibrium with the atmosphere, Pc02-10-3.38 atm, calculate 4G for the reaction. What is the stable form of lead in the sediments?arrow_forwardWhen the following gas reaction reaches equilibrium, at a certain temperature, the moles fractions of the four reactive species satisfy the following relation (we will use "y" for mole fractions since all of these reagents and products are gases): CO+H20 > CO2+H2 [yCO2][yH2] K= [yC0][YH20] Where K= 1. Assume that the feed introduced to the reactor is 2 mol of CO and 4 mol of H20 only.

When sensors in the system detect a collision, a heat source instantly causes the decomposition of sodium azide at 300oC. This first reaction produces sodium metal and nitrogen gas. The formation of the nitrogen gas inflates the airbag, but unfortunately, the other product, sodium metal, is extremely dangerous and highly reactive. The sodium metal must undergo an immediate secondary reaction to transform into a safer substance. That’s where potassium nitrate gets involved. In the secondary reaction, sodium metal reacts with the potassium nitrate to form potassium oxide, sodium oxide, and additional nitrogen gas. This secondary generation of nitrogen gas also fills the airbag. Excess gas from the secondary reaction gets vented from e airbag. Finally, in the third and fourth reactions, the sodium oxide and potassium oxide react with silicon dioxide separately to product harmless and stable silicate glasses sodium…arrow_forward_engine.html?ClassID=D1087757335# Caculate the standard enthalpy for the following reaction conducted at 25°C: MgCl2(s) + 2Na(s) → 2NACI(s) + Mg(s) MgCl2(s) -641.8 kJ/mol NaCl -411.0 kJ/mol AH (kJ/mol) Enterarrow_forward
