The water-gas shift reaction plays a central role in the chemical methods for obtaining cleaner fuels from coal:CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇄

CO₂(g) + H₂(g)At a given temperature, Kp = 2.7. If 0.13 mol of CO, 0.56 mol of H₂O, 0.62 mol of CO₂, and 0.43 mol of H₂ are put in a 2.0-L flask, in which direction does the reaction proceed?

The reaction will proceed in the reverse direction in order to increase the concentrations of both CO and H2O and decrease that of CO2 and H2 until Q = K.

The reaction will proceed to the left

Step 1: The balanced equation

CO(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO2(g) + H2(g)

Step 2: Data given

Kp = 2.7

Number of moles of CO = 0.13 mol

Number of moles of H2O = 0.56 mol

Number of moles of CO2 = 0.62 mole

Number of moles of H2 = 0.61 mol

Volume = 2.0L

Step 3: Calculate Q

Pco = 0.13 / 1.92  P

Ph2o = 0.56 / 1.92 P

Pco2 = 0.62/1.92 P

Ph2 =0.61 / 1.92 P

Q =  [CO2][H2] / [CO][H2O] = 5.2

Q > Kp  The reaction will proceed to the left

The reaction will proceed in the reverse direction in order to increase the concentrations of both CO and H2O and decrease that of CO2 and H2 until Q = K.

How do you determine valence electrons of a metal? A non Metal?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Check the electronic configuration of elements.

Explanation:

▪Valence electrons are the elwctrons present in the outermost shell of any element.

For example,

Electronic Configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Here , Sodium has 1 valence electrons.

▪Valency of an element is the total no. of electrons to be gained/losed in order to achieve duplet/octate state.

For example,

Electronic configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Sodium can achieve octate state either by losing 1 electron or gaining 7 electrons. But losing 1 electron is eay than gaining 7 electrons. So Valency of Sodium = +1

☆Metals have 1 or 2 or 3 valence electrons.

☆Non metals have 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 valence electrons.

☆Noble gases tend to stay in duplet/octate state i.e they have 2 or 8 valence electrons.
