An engineer examining the oxidation of SO2 in the manufacture of sulfuric acid

Chapter 17, Problem 17.87

(choose chapter or problem)

An engineer examining the oxidation of SO2 in the manufacture of sulfuric acid determines that Kc 5 1.73108 at 600. K: 2SO2(g) 1 O2(g) BA 2SO3(g) (a) At equilibrium, PSO3 5 300. atm and PO2 5 100. atm. Calculate PSO2 . (b) The engineer places a mixture of 0.0040 mol of SO2(g) and 0.0028 mol of O2(g) in a 1.0-L container and raises the temperature to 1000 K. At equilibrium, 0.0020 mol of SO3(g) is present. Calculate Kc and PSO2 for this reaction at 1000. K.
