Calculating Pressure Change in Gaseous Reaction: CO2 and BaO

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the pressure change in a flask containing CO2 after a reaction with BaO to form BaCO3. The initial conditions include a volume of 5.00 L, a temperature of 350 K, and a pressure of 3.00 atm. The number of moles of CO2 is calculated to be 0.522 mol, while the moles of BaO added is 0.20 mol. The user seeks guidance on determining how much CO2 reacts with BaO and the remaining CO2 after the reaction. Ultimately, the user successfully finds the answer with assistance from the forum.

Homework Statement


A sample of CO2(g) is contained in a 5.00 L flask at 350 K and 3.00 atm pressure. When 30.66 g of BaO(s) was added to the flask, this reaction took place:
BaO(s) + CO2(g) => BaCO3(s)
Calculate the pressure in the the vessel after the reaction was complete. assume that the temperature is constant and the volume of the solid product is neglegible.

Homework Equations


PV=nRT

The Attempt at a Solution


First, I tried to find the number of moles of CO2
nCO2= PV/RT
nCO2= (3.00atm*5.00L)/ 0.0821*350K
nCO2= 0.522 mol CO2

Then, should I find the number of moles of the BaO?
nBaO= 30.66g/153.3g/mol of BaO =0.20 mol

Now, I stuck, what can I do with all variables that I found? Please help.

Looking at the reaction equation - how much CO2 reacted with 0.20 mol of BaO? How much CO2 was left?

Wow, I got the answer. Thank you so much!

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
