Answer:
Explanation:
First reaction gives you the number of moles or the mass from Carbon and hydrogen
for carbon:
Analogously for hydrogen:
0.0310g have 0.0034gH or 0.0034mol of H
In the second reaction you can obtain the amount of nitrogen as a percentage and find the mass of N in the first sample.
now
this is equivalet to 0.002mol of N
with this information you can find the mass of oxygen by matter conservation.
this is equivalent to 0.004molO
finally you divide all moles obtained between the smaller number of mole (this is mol of H)
and you can multiply by 5 to obtain:
Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is defined as the relationship present between the amounts of products and reactants which are there at equilibrium in a reversible chemical reaction at a given temperature.
For example,
Mathematically,
As the value of equilibrium constant depends on rate constants of the forward and reverse reactions. And, this rate of reaction also changes with change in pressure and temperature.
Therefore, it will also lead to change in equilibrium constant but it does not depend on initial amount pf reactants.
Thus, we can conclude that in general, the value of the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction does NOT depend on the initial amounts of reactants present.
