E1a) Calculate the grams of iron(II) oxide that are present at equilibrium in the reactor
where the following process occurs (at a constant temperature at which K = 5.06), by
knowing that the initial composition of the reaction mixture is as follows: 500. g of
Fe3O4 and 150. g of CO and 150. g of CO2.
Fe3O4(s) + CO(g) ⇋ 3FeO(s) + CO2(g)

E1b) Knowing that the temperature is 1100. °C, the reactor volume is 3.50 m and the
volume of the solids is negligible as compared to the reactor volume: calculate
the pressure (in atm) of the gases in the reactor when the reaction is at equilibrium.
E2b) Write the product of the reaction below, the compound name, and state if it
behaves as an acid or a base in water:

FeO(s) + H2O(l) → ______

 C)FeO(s) + H2O(l) -> Fe(OH)2(s) + O2(g)
it behaves as a base because when it reacts with water it forms OH- ions.

E2a) Calculate the potential at 25.0 °C of a Daniell cell in which the

copper electrode is dipped into a
copper(II) chloride solution, prepared by dissolving 5.00 g
copper(II) chloride in a 1.00 L volume, and the zinc electrode is
dipped into a zinc chloride solution, prepared by dissolving 3.00 g
zinc chloride in a 0.150 L volume.

E2b) Calculate the osmotic pressure (in atm) of the copper(II) chloride
solution in E2a).
E2c) Briefly explain why Cu(s) is a good electrical conductor.

A) V = -0.763+0.153= 0.61 v
C) Cu is a good electrical conductor because of its free electrons which can move freely through
the metal.

Describe the diagram below and try to address also these points:
which process is described in the diagram; why is sodium forming
0
cations and chlorine, instead, anions in NaCl and define ΔH LE
0
(NaCl)
and ΔH f
.

The process described is the proces of formation fo NaCl salt. Sodium forms cations because its
tendency to give electrons is greater to reach the configuration of a noble gas, meanwhile chlorine
has the tendency to attract elctron because of the same reason as sodium.
Hf= 121+502+107-411=319 kJ

 Question 4
Complete

Marked out of 4

Describe the process occurring in the device reported in the

picture. In the description, try to address also the following points: is
the process spontaneous? What happens if the power supply stops?
Why the presence of an electrolyte is needed?

This process is called electrolysis. Electrolysis is a method of sepparating bonded elements and
compounds by passing an electric current through them. The main components are: an electrolyte
; a direct current (power supply); and two electrodes - an electrical conductor that provides the
physical interface between the electrical ciecuit and the electrolyte. The key process is the
intercharge of atoms and ions by the removal or addition of electrons to the external circuit. Each
electrode attracts ions of opposite charge. The process is not spontaneous because a power
supply is needed. If the power supply stops than the process stops. The presence of an electrolyte
is needed to ionise and conduct electricity.
