Balance each of the following examples of heterogeneous equilibria and write each Kc expression. Then calculate the value of Kc
marysya [2.9K]

Explanation:

1) 2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H_2O(l) \longleftrightarrow 2 Na[Al(OH)_4](aq) + 7 H_2(g)

Kc=\frac{[Na[Al(OH)_4]]^2*[H_2]^7}{[NaOH]^2}

The Kc for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the Kc of the reaction:

Kc_{reverse}=\frac{1}{Kc}=\frac{1}{11}=0.091

2) H_2O(l) + SO_3(g) \longleftrightarrow H_2SO_4 (aq)

Kc=\frac{[H_2SO_4]}{[SO_3]^2}

The Kc for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the Kc of the reaction:

Kc_{reverse}=\frac{1}{Kc}=\frac{1}{0.0123}=81.3

3)  P_4(s) + 3 O_2(g) \longleftrightarrow P_4O_6(s)

Kc=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}

The Kc for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the Kc of the reaction:

Kc_{reverse}=\frac{1}{Kc}=\frac{1}{1.56}=0.641

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

c.The atoms in the solid would be vibrating in position.

Explanation:

The properties of solid, liquid and gas which makes them different ares the intermolecular interactions between particles and the thermal energy.

Solids molecules are fixed in their position and may show vibrations.

Liquid molecules can move slowly as they have inter-molecular forces in between solid and gas,

Gas molecules can move vigorously here and there due very weak inter-molecular interactions and high thermal energy.

Thus the answer would be the atoms in the solid would be vibrating in position.

Which of the following is a characteristic property of the alkaline earth
34kurt

"They are harder than alkali metals" is a characteristic property of the alkaline earth  metals.

<u>Option:</u> C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The strength of metallic bond is stronger in alkaline earth metals than alkali metals because of the existence of 2 electrons in its outermost or valence shell relative to alkali metal which has only 1 electron in valence shell. Thus alkaline earth metals are therefore harder than the alkali metals.

They are considered alkaline since they formulate solutions that have a pH higher than 7, rendering them alkaline or bases. Radium is produced by uranium decay, not all alkaline elements are radioactive. It's very toxic, and the handling is risky. Calcium and magnesium are essential for animals and plants.
