Answer: The expression for equilibrium constant is ![\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BNH_3%5D%5E2%7D%7B%5BH_2%5D%5E3%5BN_2%5D%7D)
Explanation: Equilibrium constant is the expression which relates the concentration of products and reactants preset at equilibrium at constant temperature. It is represented as 
For a general reaction:
The equilibrium constant is written as:
![k_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BC%5D%5Ec%5BD%5D%5Ed%7D%7B%5BA%5D%5Ea%5BB%5D%5Eb%7D)
Chemical reaction for the formation of ammonia is:
Expression for is:
![k_c=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BNH_3%5D%5E2%7D%7B%5BH_2%5D%5E3%5BN_2%5D%7D)
![1.6\times 10^2=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1.6%5Ctimes%2010%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BNH_3%5D%5E2%7D%7B%5BH_2%5D%5E3%5BN_2%5D%7D)
Given parameters:
Volume of CuSO₄ = 250mL
Concentration of CuSO₄ = 2.01M
Unknown:
Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = ?
To solve this problem, we must write the chemical relationship between both species.;
CuSO₄.5H₂O → CuSO₄ + 5H₂O
Now that we know the expression, it is possible to solve for the unknown mass.
First find the number of moles of CuSO₄;
Number of moles = Concentration x Volume
Take 250mL to L so as to ensure uniformity of units;
Volume = 250 x 10⁻³L
Input the parameters and solve for number of moles;
Number of moles = 250 x 10⁻³ x 2.01 = 0.5mol
From the equation;
1 mole of CuSO₄ is produced from 1 mole of CuSO₄.5H₂O
So 0.5 moles of CuSO₄ will be produced from 0.5 moles of CuSO₄.5H₂O
Now let us find the molar mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = 63.6 + 32 + 4(16) + 5(2x1 + 16) = 249.6g/mole
Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = number of moles x molar mass
= 0.5 x 249.6
= 124.8g
The mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 124.8g
To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:
I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).
Answer:
The independent variable influences change in the dependent variable whether the points on the scatterplot go up or down from left to right.
Explanation:
Answer:
The pressures will remain at the same value.
Explanation:
A catalyst is a substance that alter the rate of a chemical reaction. It either speeds up the or slows down the rate of a chemical reaction.
While a catalyst affects the rate, it is noteworthy that it has no effect on the equilibrium position of the chemical reaction. A catalyst works by creating an alternative pathway for the reaction to proceed. Most times, it decreases the activation energy needed to kickstart the chemical reaction.
Hence, we know that it has no effect on the equilibrium position. Factors affecting equilibrium position includes, temperature and concentration of reactants and products( pressure in terms of gases).
The reactants and the products here are gaseous, and as such pressure affects the equilibrium position. Now, we have established that the equilibrium position is unaffected. And as such the pressure affecting it does not change.
Thus, we have established that the pressure of the products and reactants are unaffected and as such they remain at their value unaffected.
