The reversible reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen to form sulfur trioxide is shown below. 2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g) An equilibrium mixture contains 2.4mol SO2, 1.2mol O2 and 0.4mol SO3. The total pressure is 250atm. What is the p(SO3)?


Explain why the first ionisation energy of sulphur is lower than that of phosphorus.


Use the following data to explain why NaCl is soluble in water: ∆H = +31 kJmol-1, S(Na+(aq)) = 320.9 JK-1mol-1, S(Cl-(aq)) = 56.5 JK-1mol-1, S(NaCl(s)) = 72.1 JK-1mol-1 Are there any temperatures at which you would not expect NaCl to dissolve?


Potassium Chlorate(VII) decomposes to produce Potassium Chloride and Oxygen. Using the following data calculate the enthalpy change of this decomposition: Enthalpy of formation(KClO4) = -430 kJ mol-1, Enthalpy of formation(KCl) = -440 kJ mol-1
