The equilibrium expression for kp for the reaction below is __________. n2 (g) o2 (g) 2no (g)

1 answer:

8 0

For the reaction;
N2(g) + O2(g) = 2NO(g)

Kp = pNO²/ pN₂pO₂; (No units)
where;
pNO is the partial pressure of NO;
pN₂ is the partial pressure of nitrogen
pO₂ is the partial pressure of Oxygen
The equilibrium constant Kp is deduced from the balanced chemical equation for a reversible reaction, NOT experimental data as is the case for rate expressions in kinetics.
Kp changes with temperature considerably changing the position of an equilibrium, and, at a constant temperature, and therefore constant K, the position of an equilibrium can change significantly depending on relative concentrations/pressures of 'reactants' and 'products'.

Calculate the freezing point of a 12.25 m 12.25m aqueous solution of propanol. Freezing point constants can be found in the list

vichka [17]

Answer:

∆t(f) = 49.755C

Explanation:

Freezing point is defined as the point in which a liquid changes from liquid to solid state. Therefore, to calculate the freezing point of aqueous solution of propanol

∆t = k × I × m

Where k is cryscopic constant =

I = vant Hoff factor = 2

M = molar concentration = 12.25m

∆t (f) = 1.9 × 12.25 × 2 = 49.755C

Compare What do infrared technologies, fiber optic

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

ptic fiber communication and satellite communication are the leading technologies which are revolutionizing the world of telecommunications. Both technologies have their advantages and limitations which make them suitable for certain type of applications. This article will provide an overview of optic fiber and satellite communication technologies and present a comparison of the features and related issues.

Optic Fiber Communication

Optic Fiber communication transmits information by sending pulses of light (using laser) through an optic fiber. The low signal loss in optic fibers and high data rate of transmission systems, allow signals with high data rates (exceeding several Gbps) to travel over long distances (more than 100 km) without a need of repeater or amplifier. Moreover, using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) allows a single fiber to carry multiple signals (upto 10 different signals) of multi-Gbps transmissions. Optic Fiber communication offers extremely high bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, non-existent delays and immunity from interception by external means. In the 1980s and 1990s, the continents were linked together using undersea optic fiber bringing about a paradigm shift in the global telecommunications.

These advancements in optic fiber communication has resulted in decrease of satellite communications for several types of communications. For instance, transmission between fixed locations or point-to-point communications, where large bandwidths are required (such as transoceanic telephone systems) are made through optic fiber instead of using satellite communication. Optic Fiber communication is also used to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, LAN (Gigabit LAN) and cable television signals.

Satellite Communication

Satellite communications use artificial satellites as relays between a transmitter and a receiver at different locations on Earth. Satellite systems allow users to bypass typical carrier offices and to broadcast information to multiple locations. Communications satellites are used for radio, TV, telephone, Internet, military and other applications. There are more than 2,000 satellites around Earth’s orbit, being used for communication by both government and private organizations.

Communication Satellites are LOS (line-of-sight) microwave systems with a repeater. These satellites rotate around the earth with the speed of earth and are known as geostationary satellites. The limitations of antenna size also limits focusing capability making the coverage for a single satellite transmitter very large. This makes satellite communication ideal for TV and radio services as the signal has to flow from a single point to many points in a single direction. The large distance of satellites from the earth (about 22,300 miles) results in delays which adversely effects two-way communication like mobile conversations. Low earth orbit satellites can be used for two-way mobile communication because less power is required to reach those satellites.

For a reaction system at equilibrium, LeChatelier's principle can be used to predict the A) activation energy for the system B)

SCORPION-xisa [38]

For a reaction system at equilibrium, LeChatelier's principle can be used to predict the "effect of a stress on the system".

Option: C

Explanation:

Le Chatelier's theory can be implemented to forecast a system's behavior due to variations in pressure, temperature, or concentration that will lead in predictable and contested variations in the system adjustments to establish a new state of equilibrium. This means that adding heat to a process would favor the endothermic path of a reaction, because this decreases the amount of heat generated in the system.

Here shift in equilibrium take place when volume increase, the total pressure decreases, which have potential to reverse the reaction, while on increasing pressure of system, the total volume decreases of the gaseous system, which can shift an equilibrium in the direction of the fewer molecules.
