A chemistry student wants to understand the effect of changing the volume on the equilibrium position of a chemical reaction. Accordingly, the student designs an experiment where they mix 0.2 mol of nitrogen gas with 0.1 mol of hydrogen gas in a 1 L container and allow them to react to form ammonia gas. If the reaction reaches equilibrium at a certain temperature and the volume of the container is suddenly decreased to 0.5 L, what will be the effect on the concentration of ammonia gas?

A chemistry student wants to study the adsorption of nitrogen gas on a copper surface at 298 K. The student knows that the Langmuir adsorption isotherm can be used to describe this system. They want to determine the maximum amount of nitrogen gas that can be adsorbed on the copper surface and the adsorption energy of nitrogen to the copper surface. Can you help the student to calculate these values using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation?

A chemistry student wants to study the adsorption behavior of a gas on a solid surface. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm experiment is conducted at temperature T. After analyzing the data, the student finds that the maximum adsorption capacity (at saturation) is q moles of the gas per unit area of the solid surface. The student also determines the value of the Langmuir constant K, which is proportional to the affinity of the gas for the surface. Now, the student needs to determine the fraction of the surface that is covered by the gas molecules at a certain pressure P below the saturation

A chemistry student wants to measure the rate of a chemical reaction. The reaction involves the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The student weighed out 0.5 grams of zinc and mixed it with 50 mL of 0.5 M hydrochloric acid. The student measured the time it took for the reaction to complete and found it took 3 minutes to produce all the hydrogen gas. Calculate the rate of the reaction in grams of zinc per minute.
