Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

For the reaction given :

[tex]$\text{2Hg}_{(l)}+\text{O}_2_{(g)} \rightarrow \text{2HgO}_{(s)}$[/tex]

Thus we know that the equilibrium constant [tex]$K_c$[/tex] contains aqueous an dgas species only.

∴       [tex]$K_c=\frac{1}{[O_2]}$[/tex]    ............(1)

Now at the equilibrium, an amount of the 13.4 g of oxygen was found in the vessel of 6.9 liters. For determining the concentration of the oxygen gas, we use :

[tex]$[O_2]= \frac{n_{O_2}}{V_{soln}}$[/tex]  ...................  (2)

Here, [tex]$n_{O_2}$[/tex] = no. of moles of oxygen gas (mol)

         [tex]$V_{soln}$[/tex] = volume of solution (L)

Therefore the number of moles of the oxygen gas is calculated by directly using the molecular weight (31.9988 g/mol) as the conversion factor.

∴      [tex]$n_{O_2}= 13.4 \ g \times \frac{\text{1 mol}}{31.9988 \ g}$[/tex]

              = 0.418 mol

Now substituting the known values in (2), we can find the equilibrium concentration of the oxygen gas :

[tex]$[O_2] =\frac{0.418 \ \text{mol}}{6.9 \ \text{L}}$[/tex]

     = 0.0605 M

Therefore substituting the result in (1), the equilibrium constant for the reaction is :

[tex]$K_c=\frac{1}{0.0605}$[/tex]

    = 16.52

g Hydrogen iodide, HI, decomposes at moderate temperatures according to the equation The amount of I2 in the reaction mixture can be determined from the intensity of the violet color of I2; the more intense the color, the more I2 in the reaction vessel. When 3.80 mol HI was placed in a 5.00-L vessel at a certain temperature, the equilibrium mixture was found to contain 0.443 mol I2. What is the value of Kc for the decomposition of HI at this temperature

Answers

Answer:

Equilibrium constant, Kc = 0.023

Explanation:

Equation for the decomposition of Hydrogen iodide is given below:

2HI ----> H₂ + I₂

Initially, the number of moles of the reactant and the products are given as follows:

n(HI) = 2 * 3.800 moles = 7.600 moles

nH₂) = 0.000 moles

n(I₂) = 0.000 moles

At equilibrium, the equation becomes: 2HI <----> H₂ + I₂

Number of moles of the reactant and the products are given as follows:

n(HI) = 7.600 - (0.886 + 0.886) moles = 5.828 moles

nH₂) = 2 * 0.443 = 0.886 moles

n(I₂) = 2 * 0.443 = 0.886 moles

Equilibrium constant, Kc = [H₂] [I₂] / [HI]²

Equilibrium constant, Kc = (0.886) * (0.886) / (5.828)²

Equilibrium constant, Kc = 0.023

Answer and Explanation:

The molar mass of a substance is all of the weights from the elements combined.

So, we have the elements

CU, S, and [tex]O_{4}[/tex]

CU has a mass is 65

S mass is 32

O has a mass of 16, but there's 4 atoms of O, so we do 16 times 4, which is 64.

Now we add.

65 + 32 + 64 is 161.

So, the answer is 160, or answer choice A.

Calculate the mass, in grams, of 0.540 mol of manganese (Mn).
Report your answer with three significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

m = 29.6 grams

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of moles = 0.540

The molar mass of manganese = 54.93 g/mol

We know that,

Number of moles = given mass/molar mass

[tex]m=n\times M\\\\m=0.540 \times 54.93\\\\m=29.6\ g[/tex]

So, the required mass of the Manganese is equal to 29.6 grams.

Which one of the following statements about the carbon phosphorus and nitrogen cycles is true ?
a. The major source of carbon used by plants is the soil
b. The major source of nitrogen used by plants is the air.
c. Phosphorus has no atmospheric component.
d. Bacteria drive the phosphorus cycle.

Answers

Answer: The correct option is C.

Phosphorus has no atmospheric component.

Explanation:

This is because, phosphorus is not in gaseous state but it is liquid at normal temperature, therefore it cannot be found in the air. It is cycle through water,soil or sediments. The major source of phosphorus in the phosphorus cycle is the rock. Rock contain phosphorus and phosphorus I'd gotten from rocks through weathering. Weathering is the disintegration of rocks into sediments or smaller particles. This is released into the soil after weathering.

How many moles are in 2.5L of 1.75 M Na2CO3

Answers

Answer: There are 4.375 moles in 2.5 L of 1.75 M [tex]Na_2CO_3[/tex]

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}[/tex]      

Molarity of solution = 1.75 M

Volume of solution = 2.5 L  

Putting values in equation , we get:

[tex]1.75M=\frac{\text{Moles of} Na_2CO_3}{2.5L}\\\\\text{Moles of }Na_2CO_3=1.75mol/L\times 2.5L=4.375mol[/tex]

Indicate which of these statements about catalysts are true. 1) In an equilibrium process, a catalyst increases the rate of the forward reaction, but leaves the rate of the reverse reaction unchanged. 2) A catalyst is not consumed in the course of a reaction. 3) A catalyst must be carefully chosen to shift the equilibrium toward products.

Answers

Answer:

2) A catalyst is not consumed in the course of a reaction.

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of  chemical reaction and remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.  The addition of a catalyst increases the rate of both reversible and irreversible reactions. including reversible reactions involving a final equilibrium state. In reversible reactions, catalysts speed up the time for equilibrium to be attained.

Considering the given statements about catalysts:

1) In an equilibrium process, a catalyst increases the rate of the forward reaction, but leaves the rate of the reverse reaction unchanged.

False: A catalyst increases both the forward and reverse reaction rates equally, thereby allowing the system to reach equilibrium faster.

2) A catalyst is not consumed in the course of a reaction.

True: Catalysts are substances that increase reaction rates without being consumed in the reaction.

3) A catalyst must be carefully chosen to shift the equilibrium toward products.

False: A catalyst does not affect the extent or position equilibrium of a reaction since a catalyst speeds up both the forward and back reactions by  equal amounts , rather it helps a reaction achieve equilibrium faster.

What is coastal area?

The region where land joins the ocean, or even as a line defining the border between the land as well as the shoreline, is known as the coast, sometimes referred as the coastline and seashore. The terrain of the area's surroundings has an impact on shorelines, as do water-induced erosion processes like wave action.

The length of the shoreline on Earth is about 620,000 kilometers. Natural ecosystems' coasts are significant zones and frequently the site of a diverse range of biodiversity. They are home to significant ecosystems on land, such as freshwater and estuarine wetlands, that are crucial for the survival of bird populations or other land animals. A severe storm would be most likely to damage a coastal area by causing pollution.
