The elementary reaction 2H2O(g)↽−−⇀2H2(g)+O2(g) 2H2O(g)↽−−⇀2H2(g)+O2(g) proceeds at a certain temperature until the partial pres

Answer:

$6.25\times 10^{-6}$ is the value of the equilibrium constant at this temperature.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure is defined as the ratio of partial pressures of products to the partial pressures of reactants each raised to the power equal to their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{p}$

$2H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$

Partial pressures at equilibrium:

$p^o_{H_2O}=0.070 atm$

$p^o_{H_2}=0.0035 atm$

$p^o_{O_2}=0.0025 atm$

The equilibrium constant in terms of pressures is given as:

$K_p=\frac{(p^o_{H_2})^2\times (p^o_{O_2})}{(p^o_{H_2O})62}$

$K_p=\frac{(0.0035 atm)^2\times 0.0025 atm}{(0.070 atm)^2}=6.25\times 10^{-6}$

$6.25\times 10^{-6}$ is the value of the equilibrium constant at this temperature.

In the following reaction, what is the effect of adding more NO2 to the starting reaction mixture?

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

It would increase the final quantity of products

Explanation:

According to the Le- Chatelier principle,

At equilibrium state when stress is applied to the system, the system will behave in such a way to nullify the stress.

The equilibrium can be disturb,

By changing the concentration

By changing the volume

By changing the pressure

By changing the temperature

Consider the following chemical reaction.

Chemical reaction:

2NO₂ ⇄ N₂O₄

In this reaction the equilibrium is disturb by increasing the concentration of reactant.

When the concentration of reactant is increased the system will proceed in forward direction in order to regain the equilibrium. Because when reactant concentration is high it means reaction is not on equilibrium state. As the concentration of NO₂ increased the reaction proceed in forward direction to regain the equilibrium state and more product is formed.

Strontium-90 is a radioisotope that will decrease in mass by one-half every 29 years. How many years will it take for a 10.0-gra

Lelechka [254]

Answer: It will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams

Explanation:

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Half life is represented by $t_{\frac{1}{2}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}=\frac{0.693}{\lambda}$

$\lambda$ = rate constant

Given : Strontium-90 decreases in mass by one-half every 29 years , that is half life of Strontium-90 is 29 years.

As half life is independent of initial concentration, it will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams as the amount gets half.
