Answer:

  • Option <u><em>C) The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.</em></u>

Explanation:

NO₂ and N₂O₄ undergo the following <em>equilibrium</em> reaction:

  • 2NO₂(g)   ⇄     N₂O₄(g)

That is a reversible reaction, i.e. there are two simultaneous reactions: the direct or forward reaction and the reverse reaction:

  • Direct reaction: 2NO₂(g)     →   N₂O₄(g)

  • Reverse reaction: 2NO₂(g)  ←   N₂O₄(g)

At the beginning, only NO₂(g) is in the sealed container. The NO₂ concentration is maximum, and the rate of the forward reaction is maximum.

As the reaction progresses, the concentration of NO₂ diminishes, and, consequently, the rate of the forward reaction decreases.

As soon as the N₂O₄ appears, the reverse reaction starts. At the beginning the rate is low, but as the N₂O₄ concentration increases the rate of the reverse reaction increases.

When both forward and reverse rates become equal the equilibrium has been reached. This is what is called a dynamical equilibrium.

Then, as per the choices, you have that, at equilibrium:

<u>A) No N₂O₄ is present</u>:

  • False: as explained above, at equilibrium both NO₂ and N₂O₄ are present.

<u>B) No chemical reactions are occurring</u>.

  • False: as explained above, at equilibrium both forward and reverse reaction are occurring at the same rate.

<u>C) The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal</u>.

  • True: as explained, this is the meaning of dynamic equilibrium.

<u>D) The maximum number of molecules has been reached</u>.

  • False: the number of molecules of each compound at equilibrium will be given by the constant of equiibrium, Keq = [N₂O₄] / [NO₂]², and this value varies with the temperature.

A 17.6-g sample of ammonium carbonate contains ________ mol of ammonium ions.
postnew [5]
These problems are a bit interesting. :)

First let's write the molecular formula for ammonium carbonate. 

NH4CO3 (Note! The 4 and 3 are subscripts, and not coefficients)

17.6 gNH4CO3

Now to convert to mol of one of our substances we take the percent composition of that particular part of the molecule and multiply it by our starting mass. This is what it looks like using dimensional analyse. 

17.6 gNH4CO3 * (Molar Mass of NH4 / Molar Mass of NH4CO3)

Grab a periodic table (or look one up) and find the molar masses for these molecules! Well. In this case I'll do it for you. (Note: I round the molar masses off to two decimal places)

NH4 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 = 18.05 g/mol
NH4CO3 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 + 12.01 + 3*16.00 = 78.06 g/mol


17.6 gNH4CO3 * (18.05 molNH4 / 78.06 molNH4CO3)
= 4.07 gNH4

Now just take the molar mass we found to convert that amount into moles!

4.07 gNH4 * (1 molNH4 / 18.05 gNH4) = 0.225 molNH4

What is 0.151 g in scientific notation
Ahat [919]

Answer: Scientific notation- 1.51 x 10^{-1}

Explanation: I got this by moving the decimal, so that there is one non-zero digit to the left of that decimal point. Tip- The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10.

Moved right- Negative

Moved left- Positive

Bromine, a liquid at room temperature has a boiling point of 58 degrees celsius and a melting point at -7.2 degree celsius bromi
ra1l [238]

Hello!


Bromine can be classified as a pure substance.


Why?


Bromine is an element with atomic number 35 on group 17 of the Periodic Table. That's the first sign that shows us that it is a pure substance.


But the fact that it has a clear and defined boiling and melting point is a sign that we are in the presence of a pure substance. Pure substances are characterized by defined boiling and melting points.


Mixtures usually have a range of temperatures in which they melt and boil.


Have a nice day!
