According to VSEPR theory, molecular geometry can be predicted by starting with the electron pair geometry about the central atom and adding atoms to some or all of the electron pairs.

Some SbCl5 is allowed to dissociate into SbCl3 and Cl2 at 521 K. At equilibrium, [SbCl5] = 0.195 M, and [SbCl3] = [Cl2] = 6.98×1

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a) The equilibrium will shift in the right direction.

b) The new equilibrium concentrations after reestablishment of the equilibrium :

$[SbCl_5]=(0.370-x) M=(0.370-0.0233) M=0.3467 M$

$[SbCl_3]=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+x) M=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+0.0233) M=0.0931 M$

$[Cl_2]=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+x) M=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+0.0233) M=0.0931 M$

Explanation:

$SbCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons SbCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)$

a) Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

On increase in amount of reactant

$SbCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons SbCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)$

If the reactant is increased, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where more product formation is taking place. As the number of moles of $SbCl_5$ is increasing .So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction.

b)

$SbCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons SbCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)$

Concentration of $SbCl_5$ = 0.195 M

Concentration of $SbCl_3$ = $6.98\times 10^{-2} M$

Concentration of $Cl_2$ = $6.98\times 10^{-2} M$

On adding more $[SbCl_5$ to 0.370 M at equilibrium :

$SbCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons SbCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)$

Initially

0.370 M $6.98\times 10^{-2}M$

At equilibrium:

(0.370-x)M $(6.98\times 10^{-2}+x)M$

The equilibrium constant of the reaction = $K_c$

$K_c=2.50\times 10^{-2}$

The equilibrium expression is given as:

$K_c=\frac{[SbCl_3][Cl_2]}{[SbCl_5]}$

$2.50\times 10^{-2}=\frac{(6.98\times 10^{-2}+x)M\times (6.98\times 10^{-2}+x)M}{(0.370-x) M}$

On solving for x:

x = 0.0233 M

The new equilibrium concentrations after reestablishment of the equilibrium :

$[SbCl_5]=(0.370-x) M=(0.370-0.0233) M=0.3467 M$

$[SbCl_3]=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+x) M=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+0.0233) M=0.0931 M$

$[Cl_2]=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+x) M=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+0.0233) M=0.0931 M$

What is the average atomic mass of chlorine if the mass of one isotope is 34.97 amu and has a p?er cent abundance of 75.77%. The

pishuonlain [190]

Answer : The average atomic mass of chlorine is, 32.37 amu

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$

As we are given that,

Mass of isotope 1 = 34.97 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 75.77 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.7577

Mass of isotope 2 = 36.97 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 24.23 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.2423

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass of element}=\sum[(34.97\times 0.7577)+(24.23\times 0.2423)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass of element}=32.37amu$

Therefore, the average atomic mass of chlorine is, 32.37 amu
