Answer: The formula of chromic acid is $H_2CrO_4$

Explanation:

We are given an ionic compound named as chromic acid. This acid is formed by the combination of hydrogen ion and chromate ion.

An acid is defined as the substance which releases hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

Hydrogen is the 1st element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^1$ .

This element will loose 1 electron to form $H^{+}$ ion.

Chromate ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $CrO_4^{2-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for the given compound is $H_2CrO_4$

Thus, the formula of chromic acid is $H_2CrO_4$

A reaction mixture initially contains 0.140 MCO and 0.140 MH2O. What will be the equilibrium concentration of CO?

Allushta [10]

Answer:

0.013 M

Explanation:

From the question, we can make the following deductions; we are given mixture that contains two compounds, that is A and B, 0.140 M CO and 0.140 M H2O respectively. Then, we are asked to find the equilibrium concentration of Carbonmonoxide,CO.

So, the equation for the reaction is given below;

CO + H2O <-----------------> CO2 + H2.

Initially: we have 0.14M of CO, 0.14M of H2O and zero (0) concentration of CO2 and H2.

At time,t = CO =0.14 - x , H2O = 0.14 - x, CO2 and H2 = x.

The above reaction consist of the forward reaction and the backward reaction.

Therefore, the equilibrium Concentration of CO;

(Since we are giving that Kc = 102). Then, Kc= [CO2][H2] ÷ [CO][H2O]. Where Kc is the equilibrium constant.

Therefore, 102 = [x^2] / [0.14 - x]^2.

==> 10.1= x/0.14 - x.

====> 0.141 - 10.1 x = x.

x + 10.1 x = 0.141.

===> 11.1 x = 0.141.

===> x = 0.141 ÷ 11.1.

===> x = 0.127 M .

Then, at time,t CO = 0.14 - x.

= 0.14 - 0.127 = 0.013 M
