Phosgene (COCl2) is a toxic substance that forms readily from carbon monoxide and chlorine at elevated temperatures: CO(g) + Cl2

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: Concentration of $CO$ = 0.328 M

Concentration of $Cl_2$ = 0.328 M

Concentration of $COCl_2$ = 0.532 M

Explanation:

Moles of $CO$ and $Cl_2$ = 0.430 mole

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Initial concentration of $CO$ and $Cl_2$ = $\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.430}{0.500}=0.860M$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.860M 0.860M 0

At eqm. conc. (0.860-x) M (0.860-x) M (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$4.95=\frac{x}{(0.860-x)^2}$

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.532 M

Thus, the concentrations of $CO,Cl_2\text{ and }COCl_2$ at equilibrium are :

Concentration of $CO$ = (0.860-x) M =(0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of $Cl_2$ = (0.860-x) M = (0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of $COCl_2$ = x M = 0.532 M

When oxygen is depleted, the citric acid cycle stops. What could we add to the system to restore citric acid cycle activity (oth

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

NAD+, FAD.

Explanation:

The citric acid cycle is popularly known as the Kreb's cycle. The cycle involve the oxidation of acetyl-CoA to produce energy. The Kreb's cycle is a chemical process that produces produces two carbon dioxide molecules,NADH,FADH2 and one ATP.

When oxygen is depleted, the citric acid cycle stops, apart from oxygen NAD+ and FAD could be added to the system to restore citric acid cycle activity. NAD+ acts as an electron acceptor.

Citric acid cycle/Kreb's cycle is an aerobic process that occurs in the mitochondria and produces thirty-six(36) ATPs.

During an experiment, the percent yield of calcium chloride from a reaction was 82.38%. Theoretically, the expected amount shoul

gregori [183]

Answer:

Actual yield = 86.5g

Explanation:

Percent yield = 82.38%

Theoretical yield = 105g

Actual yield = x

Equation of reaction,

CaCO₃ + HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100

82.38% = actual yield / theoretical yield

82.38 / 100 = x / 105

Cross multiply and make x the subject of formula

X = (105 * 82.38) / 100

X = 86.499g

X = 86.5g

Actual yield of CaCl₂ is 86.5g
