A sample of SO3 is introduced into an evacuated sealed container and heated to 600 K. The following equilibrium is established:
2SO3(g)⇌2SO2(g)+O2(g).
The total pressure in the system is found to be 3.0 atm and the mole fraction of O2 is 0.12. Find Kp..

Kp = 0.0506

Explanation:

0.12 mole fraction of O2 x 3.0 atm = 0.36 atm

The mole fraction of SO2 will be double the mole fraction of O2 since the balanced equation states that 2 moles of SO2 will be obtained for every one mole of O2.

So the mole fraction of SO2 is 2(0.12) = 0.24

Pressure due to SO2 = 0.24 x 3.0 atm = 0.72 atm

The pressure due to SO3 = total pressure minus pressure of SO2 and O2

3.0 atm – (0.36 + 0.72) = 1.92 atm

Kp = (pSO2)^2(pO2) / (pSO3)^2

Kp = (0.72)^2(0.36) / (1.92)^2

Kp = 0.0506

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
