Problem of the week - 21/05/2012
« on: May 21, 2012, 06:19:57 AM »
Another (simple) one taken from the old publication:

Gaseous mixture contained 51.3% (v/v) of H2S, the rest was CO2. 1750 mL of the mixture (measured at 760 mm Hg and 21 °C) was heated to 350 °C, cooled, and pumped through a CaCl2, increasing its mass by 34.7 mg. What is the equilibrium constant of the carbonyl sulfide synthesis from H2S and CO2 at 350 °C?

OK, here's a start

CO2 + H2::equil:: COS + H2O

CaCl2  :rarrow: CaCl2.6H2O (not sure of the exact formula of the hydrate, could be di, or tetra? May be irrelevant)

34.7 mg increase in the weight of CaCl2, means (34.7 x 10-3/18.02) mol of water.

I got 3.062*10-3.

Close, but not perfect.

Done more precisely and got that k=3.1507*10-3.

3.15×10-3 it is  :)

Compare E. Terres, H. Wesemann, Angew.Chem. 45, 795 (1932).
