AI Thread Summary
At 3000 K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction Cl2 ⇌ 2Cl is 0.570 atm, with a total mass of 3 mg in a 60 mL dish. The molar mass of Cl is 34 g/mol, and the ideal gas law is applied to find total pressure using the formula p = n/V * R * T. The variables are defined, with n calculated as mass divided by molar mass. The discussion emphasizes the importance of not rounding intermediate calculations too much to ensure accuracy in the final answer.

In 3000 K the constant of disintegration in the equilibrum of the reaction Cl2-> ( <-) 2Cl is 0.570 atm.In the equilibrum the reaction weighs 3 miligrams and is contained in a dish with volume 60 mL and the temperature is 3000 K.Find the total pressure.

So I used p=n/V*R*T where n=m/M when M is the molar mass =34 ( since the molar mass of Cl is 17, 17*2=34). And R=0.08
Then I did Cl 2Cl
First (p1 I found) 0

Change -x 2x
Equilibrum p1-x 2x

Here by the constant of equilibrum I tried to find x ...am i right?

Not easy to follow what you wrote, but I don't see anything that would in an obvious way suggest you are wrong.

For sure you should not round down all these numbers so heavily, as the answer you will get will be off. Round down only the final answer.

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...
