Why are chemical equilibria called dynamic equilibria?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Serga [27]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Because molecules are moving so they change from reactants to products and vice versa.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is widely known that chemical equilibrium is related with such condition at which the rate of consumption of reactants and formation of products tends to zero so their concentrations remain the same over the time. For instance, if we consider the formation of hydrogen chloride at equilibrium:

H_2+Cl_2\rightleftharpoons 2HCl

We can also see that the reactants, hydrogen and chlorine are consumed to form hydrogen chloride and it also goes back to its reactants in a dynamic equilibrium (because they are constantly changing).

Best regards.

Gaseous BF3 and BCl3 are mixed in equal molar amounts. All B-F bonds have about the same bond enthalpy, as do all B-Cl bonds. Co
lord [1]

Solution :

$BF_3 (g) + BCl_3 (g) \rightarrow BF_2 Cl + BCl_F(g)$

<u>Explanation 1 </u>:

Spontaneity of the reaction is based on two factors :

-- the tendency to acquire a state of minimum energy

-- the energy of a system to acquire a maximum randomness.

Now, since there isn't much difference in the bond enthalpies of B-F and B-Cl. So, we can say the major driving factor is tendency to acquire a state of maximum randomness.

<u>Explanation 2 </u>:

A system containing the \text{"chemically mixed"} B halides has a \text{greater entropy} than a system of $BCl_3$ and BF_3.

It has the same number of \text{gas phase molecules}, but more distinguishable kinds of \text{molecules}, hence, more microstates and higher entropy.

A block of aluminum occupies a volume of 15.0 mL and weighs 40.5 g. What is its density ?
wariber [46]

Answer:

<h2>2.7 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{40.5}{15}  = 2.7 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.7 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which half-reaction correctly shows the oxidation of iron
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

What is the oxidation half reaction for iron?

The two elements involved, iron and chlorine, each change oxidation state; iron from +2 to +3, chlorine from 0 to -1. There are then effectively two half-reactions occurring. These changes can be represented in formulas by inserting appropriate electrons into each half-reaction: Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e.

Hope this helps..

1N2 + 3H2 --&gt;
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

28.23 g NH₃

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) → 2 NH₃(g)

Thus, 1 mol of N₂ reacts with 2 moles of H₂ to produce 2 moles of NH₃. We convert the moles to mass (in grams) by using the molecular weight (MW) of each compound:

MW(N₂) = 2 x 14 g/mol = 28 g/mol

mass N₂= 1 mol x 28 g/mol = 28 g

MW(H₂) = 2 x 1 g/mol = 2 g/mol

mass H₂ = 3 mol x 2 g/mol = 6 g

MW(NH₃) = 14 g/mol + (3 x 1 g/mol) = 17 g/mol

mass NH₃= 2 moles x 17 g/mol = 34 g

Now, we have to figure out which is the limiting reactant. For this, we know that the stoichiometric ratio is 28 g N₂/6 g H₂. If we have 36.85 g of H₂, we need the following mass of N₂:

36.85 g H₂ x 28 g N₂/6 g H₂ = 171.97 g N₂

We have 23.15 g N₂ and we need 171.97 g. So, we have lesser N₂ than we need. Thus, the limiting reactant is N₂.

Now, we calculate the product (NH₃) by using the stoichiometric ratio 34 g NH₃/28 g N₂, with the mass of N₂ we have:

23.25 g N₂ x 34 g NH₃/28 g N₂ = 28.23 g NH₃

Therefore, the maximum amount of NH₃ that can be produced is 28.23 grams.
