Enter your answer in the provided box. A United Nations toxicologist studying the properties of mustard gas, S(CH2CH2Cl)2, a blistering agent used in warfare, prepares a mixture of 0.675 M SCl2and 0.973 M C2H4and allows it to react at room temperature (20.0°C): SCl2(g) + 2 C2H4(g) ⇌ S(CH2CH2Cl)2(g) At equilibrium,[S( CH2CH2Cl)2] = 0.350 M. Calculate _______________Kp.

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]0.024[/tex]

Explanation:

First we have to use the ICE table to find the equilibrium concentrations:

[tex]SCl_2_(_g_) + 2 C_2H_4_(_g_) <->S(CH_2CH_2Cl)_2_(_g_)[/tex]

I    0.675 M   0.973 M           0

C    -X               -2X               +X

E  0.675-X     0.973-2X          X

The equilibrium concentration is given by the problem:

X=0.35 M

Then we have to do the substractions:

[tex]SCl_2_(_g_)[/tex] =  0.325 M

[tex] C_2H_4_(_g_)[/tex] = 0.273 M

[tex]S(CH_2CH_2Cl)_2_(_g_)[/tex]= 0.35 M

With the equilibrium concentrations is posible to calculate Kc:

[tex]Kc=\frac{[S(CH_2CH_2Cl)_2]}{[SCl_2][C_2H_4]^2}=\frac{[0.35]}{[0.325][0.273]^2}=14.45[/tex]

With the Kc value is posible calculate Kp using the equation:

Kp = Kc(RT)^(Δn)

Kp= Equilibrium Pressure constant

Kc= Equilibrium Concentration constant

R= 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

T= Temperature

Δn=moles of products - moles of reactants

T= 25 ºC= 298.15 K

Δn = 1 mole of products [tex]S(CH_2CH_2Cl)_2_(_g_)[/tex]- 3 moles of reactants [tex]2 C_2H_4_(_g_)~and~SCl_2_(_g_)[/tex]= -2

[tex]Kp=~14.45~(0.082*298.15)^(^-^2^)= 0.024[/tex]

From the ICE table, the Kp of the system is 0.599.

The first step is to set up the ICE table of the reaction equation as follows;

       SCl2(g) + 2 C2H4(g) ⇌ S(CH2CH2Cl)2(g)

I      0.675        0.973              0

C   - x               -2x                     +x

E    0.675 - x      0.973 - 2x          0.350

But x =  0.350 M

Hence; Kp = [0.350]/[0.675 - 0.350] [0.973 -  2(0.350)]

Kp = 0.350/0.325 × (0.273)^2

Kp = 14.4

Kp = Kc(RT)^Δng

Kp = 14.4(0.082 × 293)^-2

Kp = 14.4/(0.082 × 293)^2

Kp = 0.599
