The intensity distribution of solar radiation peaks at a wavelength of approximately 500 nm. Assuming the Sun radiates like a black body, calculate its surface temperature in K.
Molybdenum forms body-centered cubic crystals and at 20 degree celsius the density is 10.3g/ml. Calculate the distance between the centers of the nearest molybdenum atoms.
The following reaction is important to produce a mixture known as ‘water gas’:
C (s)+H2O (g) ⇌ CO (g)+ H2 (g)
Suppose 0.100 mol of H2O and solid carbon, together with 7.16 atm. of CO and 8.17 atm. of H2, are placed in a 1.00 dm3 reactor at 800°C. The value of Kp is 14.1 under these conditions.
Use the ideal gas law to determine the partial pressures of all the species at the start, and then determine the concentrations of all the species at equilibrium.
