How would decreasing the volume of the reaction vessel affect each of the following equilibria? 2NOBr(g) --> 2NO(g)+Br2(g)

1 answer:

3 0

As per Le Chatelier principle, when a system in equilibrium is disturbed, the reaction will try to compensate the change to restore the equilibrium.

This reaction occurs in gas phase, so the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure.

Then a decrease in volume will cause an increase in pressure, so the system will tend to react in the direction that compensates this increase, this is the system will try to reduce the number of moles of particles to reduce the increase of the pressure.

As you see, there are 3 particles of products (2 of NO and 1 of Br) for every 2 particles of reactant (NOBr).

That means, that the equilibrium will displace to the left, this is the concentration of NOBr will increase while the concentration of NO and Br will decrease.

What did scientists discover when they arranged elements in order of increasing atomic mass?

asambeis [7]

<span>The scientists discovered that when they organized elements in order of increasing atomic mass there is a pattern of repetition of properties (A). The periodic law was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Mayer in 1869. They worked independently of each other and both created a periodic table. They both arranged the items on the table by weight and both suggested that certain properties of the elements recur. The Mendeleev table is the most important table because the values for the atomic mass are the most accurate.</span>

Answer:

0.0400 g for the example given below.

Explanation:

pH value is not provided, so we'll solve this problem in a general case and then we will use an example to justify it.

By definition, $pH = -log[H_3O^+]$ .
NaOH is a strong base, as it's a hydroxide formed with a group 1A metal, so it dissociates fully in water by the equation: $NaOH (aq)\rightarrow Na^+ (aq) + OH^- (aq)$ .
From the equation above, using stoichiometry we can tell that the molarity of hydroxide is equal to the molarity of NaOH: $[NaOH] = [OH^-]$ .
Concentration of hydroxide is then equal to the ratio of moles of NaOH and the volume of the given solution. Moles themselves are equal to mass over molar mass, so we obtain: $[OH^-] = [NaOH] = \frac{n_{NaOH}}{V} = \frac{m_{NaOH}}{M_{NaOH}V}$ .
We also know that $pOH = 14.00 - pH = -log[NaOH]$ . Take the antilog of both sides: $10^{-pOH} = 10^{pH - 14.00} = [NaOH] = \frac{m_{NaOH}}{M_{NaOH}V}$ .
Solve for the mass of NaOH: $m_{NaOH} = 10^{pH - 14.00}\cdot M_{NaOH}\cdot V$ .

Now, let's say that pH is given as 12.00 and we use a 100-ml volumetric flask. Then we would obtain:

$m_{NaOH} = 10^{12.00 - 14.00}\cdot 39.997 g/mol\cdot 0.100 L = 0.0400 g$
