The decomposition reaction is \(\mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{4}(g)+\mathrm{C} \text { (graphite) }\) Assume that decomposition begins at \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(50.0 atm\) with a gas density of \(0.215 g/mL\) and the temperature increases by \(950 K\). (a) What is the final pressure of the confined gas (ignore the volume of graphite and use the van der Waals equation)? (b) How does the PV/RT value of \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\) compare to that in Figure 5.18? Explain. Equation Transcription: 10°C CH4 Text Transcription: CH_2=CH_2(g) rightarrow CH_4(g) + C(graphite) 10°C 50.0 atm 0.215 g/mL 950 K CH_4

Problem 106P One way to utilize naturally occurring uranium (0.72% 235U and 99.27% 238U) as a nuclear fuel is to enrich it (increase its 235U content) by allowing gaseous UF6 to effuse through a porous membrane (see the margin note, p. 215).
