0.27 atm

Explanation:

At 25ºC, Kp = 2.9 x 10⁻³ for the reaction NH₄OCONH₂(s) ⇌ 2 NH₃(g) + CO₂(g). In an experiment carried out at 25ºC, a certain amount of NH₄OCONH₂ is placed in an evacuated rigid container and allowed to come to equilibrium. Calculate the total pressure in the container at equilibrium.

Step 1: Make an ICE chart

Solid and liquids are ignored in ICE charts.

       NH₄OCONH₂(s) ⇌ 2 NH₃(g) + CO₂(g)

I                                            0             0

C                                        +2x           +x

E                                          2x             x

Step 2: Write the pressure equilibrium constant expression (Kp)

Kp = [NH₃]² × [CO₂]

Kp = (2x)² × x

2.9 × 10⁻³ = 4 x³

x = 0.090 atm

Step 3: Calculate the pressures at equilbrium

pNH₃ = 2x = 2(0.090 atm) = 0.18 atm

pCO₂ = x = 0.090 atm

The total pressure is:

P = 0.18 atm + 0.090 atm = 0.27 atm

the molecules move in straight line until they collide with each other or with the walls of the container. collisions are perfectly elastic; when two molecules collide, they change their directions and kinetic energies, but the total kinetic energy is conserved.

explanation:

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
