Why should you pay attention to the physical states of reactants and products when writing elquilibrium constant expressions?

Chemistry

Answer is: because pure liquids (<span>shown in </span>chemical reactions<span> by appending (</span>l)<span> to the </span>chemical formula) and solids (<span>shown in </span>chemical equations by appending (s)<span> to the </span>chemical formula) not go in to he equilibrium constant expression, only gas state (shown in chemical reactions by appending (g) to the chemical formula) reactants and products go in to he equilibrium constant expression.
For example, equilibrium constant expression Kp for reaction:
A(s) + 2B(s) ⇄ 4C(g) + D(g).<span>
will be: Kp = [C]</span>⁴<span>·[D].
But for reaction </span>A(g) + 2B(g) ⇄ 4C(g) + D(g), will be:<span>
Kp = [C]</span>⁴<span>·[D] / [A]·[B]².</span>

Is beans in water a suspension colloid or solution
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The CORRECT answer is Solution

Explanation:

Since a Colloid is a liquid like substance that cannot be removed from other solids the only possible choice would be a Solution. becuase with a solution you can drain the solution and still get the beans.

Which two physical properties allow a mixture to be separated by chromatography
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:


                 Option-1 (Solubility and Molecular polarity) is the correct answer.


Explanation:


                        Thin Layer Chromatography is employed to separate a mixture of non volatile compounds. In this technique an adsorbent material like silica gel is coated on a plastic, glass or aluminium sheet. Then the mixture of compounds is applied at the bottom of sheet and the sheet is placed in the container containing a solvent system. It is observed that the solvent starts travelling upward through capillary action.


While the solvent is running the mixture of compounds starts separating from each other. This separation is due to following physical properties.


1) Solubility of Mixture in Solvent:

                                                          In a mixture those compounds which has more solubility in solvent will travel more and will give greater Rf value and the less soluble will left behind with smaller Rf value. Hence due to solubility a mixture of compounds can be separated.


2) Polarity of Molecules:

                                          As the stationary phase (adsorbent material) is polar in nature, so in mixture those compounds which are less polar will less interact with the stationary phase and will travel more with greater Rf value, while, more polar molecules will form stronger interactions with the stationary phase, hence will travel less and therefore, will show smaller Rf values.

Is carbon dioxide a iconic or covalent compound
igomit [66]
It is a covalant bond. Because any compound made up of nonmetals will be covalant. Compounds made up of a non metal and metal willl form a ionic compund. :)
