he gaseous reaction depicted below is carried out at constant pressure and an initial temperature of -71°C.
The unbalanced equation is CD C2 + D2. What is the final temperature (in °C)?
To find the final temperature of the gaseous reaction, we need to use the ideal gas law and the principle of constant pressure.
The ideal gas law is expressed as:
PV = nRT
Where:
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = ideal gas constant
T = temperature
In this case, since the reaction is carried out at constant pressure, we can rewrite the equation as:
V = nRT/P
We are given that the initial temperature is -71°C, which needs to be converted to Kelvin (K) since the ideal gas law requires temperature in Kelvin. The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is done by adding 273.15:
T(initial) = -71°C + 273.15 = 202.15 K
To determine the final temperature, we can rearrange the ideal gas law equation as:
T(final) = PV / (nR/V)
Since the number of moles and volume are not given, we cannot determine their values. Therefore, we cannot directly find the final temperature based on the information provided in the question.
