7 0

The elements least likely to undergo a chemical reaction are:
Gold: Au
Silver: Ag
Platinum: Pt

They are located very low in The Reactivity Series and hence don't react with any other substance. That is why their market value is pretty high.

Answer:

Helium

Explanation:

Helium is most likely to undergo a chemical reaction because

It has a complete electron shell, so it does not need any more electrons
Its electrons are closest to the nucleus, so it is extremely difficult to remove them

Some SbCl5 is allowed to dissociate into SbCl3 and Cl2 at 521 K. At equilibrium, [SbCl5] = 0.195 M, and [SbCl3] = [Cl2] = 6.98×1

Answer:

a) The equilibrium will shift in the right direction.

b) The new equilibrium concentrations after reestablishment of the equilibrium :

$[SbCl_5]=(0.370-x) M=(0.370-0.0233) M=0.3467 M$

$[SbCl_3]=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+x) M=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+0.0233) M=0.0931 M$

$[Cl_2]=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+x) M=(6.98\times 10^{-2}+0.0233) M=0.0931 M$

Explanation:

$SbCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons SbCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)$

a) Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

On increase in amount of reactant

$SbCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons SbCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)$

If the reactant is increased, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where more product formation is taking place. As the number of moles of $SbCl_5$ is increasing .So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction.
