The negative ΔH mean that the heat should be treated as a reactant or as a product.

<h3>What is thermochemical equation? </h3>

The balanced equation which also include the enthalpy change of the reaction in it is termed as the thermochemical equation.

The change in enthalpy is denoted by ∆H . Depending on the process involved in the chemical equation, the value of ∆H can be negative or positive.

The reaction is said to have enthalpy value of change in enthalpy of a reaction. For instance, the value of ∆H is negative which implies that the reaction is exothermic.

This means that heat is released in the surrounding. Thus, the heat has to be entered in the product side.

Thus, we can say that negative ΔH mean that the heat should be treated as a reactant or as a product.

Explain how interactions can be both beneficial and harmful to the organism in a community

Marysya12 [62]

Interactions to an organism can be both harmful and beneficial due to the organism's circumstances. For example by adding tadpoles to an eco system it results in the tadpoles eating all the food thus killing the other organisms. Whereas by adding plants to an ecosystem it provides shelter for the organisms and possibly food being beneficial.

Consider the following reaction: A(g)⇌2B(g). Find the equilibrium partial pressures of A and B for each of the following differe

Illusion [34]

Answer:

a. Kp=1.4

$P_{A}=0.2215 atm$

$P_{B}=0.556 atm$

b.Kp=2.0 * 10^-4

$P_{A}=0.495atm$

$P_{B}=0.00995 atm$

c.Kp=2.0 * 10^5

$P_{A}=5*10^{-6}atm$

$P_{B}=0.9999 atm$

Explanation:

For the reaction

A(g)⇌2B(g)

Kp is defined as:

$Kp=\frac{(P_{B})^{2}}{P_{A}}$

The conditions in the system are:

A B

initial 0 1 atm

equilibrium x 1atm-2x

At the beginning, we don’t have any A in the system, so B starts to react to produce A until the system reaches the equilibrium producing x amount of A. From the stoichiometric relationship in the reaction we get that to produce x amount of A we need to 2x amount of B so in the equilibrium we will have 1 atm – 2x of B, as it is showed in the table.

Replacing these values in the expression for Kp we get:

$Kp=\frac{(1-2x)^{2}}{x}$

Working with this equation:

$x*Kp=(1-2x)^{2} - -> x*Kp=4x^{2}-4x+1- - >4x^{2}-(4+Kp)*x+1=0$

This last expression is quadratic expression with a=4, b=-(4+Kp) and c=1

The general expression to solve these kinds of equations is:

$x=\frac{-b(+-)*\sqrt{(b^{2}-4ac)}}{2a}$ (equation 1)

We just take the positive values from the solution since negative partial pressures don´t make physical sense.

Kp = 1.4

$x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)+\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=1.128$

$x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)-\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=0.2215$

With x1 we get a partial pressure of:

$P_{A}=1.128 atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*1.128 = -1.256 atm$

Since negative partial pressure don´t make physical sense x1 is not the solution for the system.

With x2 we get:

$P_{A}=0.2215 atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*0.2215 = 0.556 atm$

These partial pressures make sense so x2 is the solution for the equation.

We follow the same analysis for the other values of Kp.

Kp=2*10^-4

X1=0.505

X2=0.495

With x1

$P_{A}=0.505atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*0.505 = -0.01005 atm$

Not sense.

With x2

$P_{A}=0.495atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*0.495 = 0.00995 atm$

X2 is the solution for this equation.

Kp=2*10^5

X1=50001

$X2=5*10^{-6}$

With x1

$P_{A}=50001atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*50001=-100001atm$

Not sense.

With x2

$P_{A}= 5*10^{-6}atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*5*10^{-6}= 0.9999 atm$

X2 is the solution for this equation.
