What happens to the concentration of the reactants and products during the course of a forward chemical reaction

chubhunter [2.5K]

Hello!

The concentration of the reactants decreases and the concentration of products increases during the course of a forward chemical reaction.

A chemical reaction is a thermodynamical process in which two or more substances (called reagents) undergo transformation by the breaking and rearrangement of their chemical bonds to form another substance(s), called products. In a forward chemical reaction, the reagents are being consumed, so their concentration will decrease, increasing the concentration of products as they are the result of the reaction.

The study of how concentration changes with time in a chemical reaction is called reaction kinetics.

If you run this reaction with 15 g of CuCl2 and 20 g NaNO3, what is the theoretical yield of NaCl?

Margaret [11]

The theoretical yield of a substance is the amount of the mass that is calculated from stoichiometry. The mass of sodium chloride produced is 13.03 gms.

Mass of the substance is a multiplication of the molar mass and moles.

The balanced reaction is given as:

CuCl₂ + 2NaNO₃ ⇒ 2NaCl + Cu(NO₃)₂

Moles of copper chloride are calculated as: 15 ÷ 134.45 = 0.115 moles

Moles of sodium nitrate are calculated as: 20 ÷ 84.99 = 0.2353 moles

From the reaction, 1 mole of copper chloride gives 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.115 moles of copper chloride will produce 0.223 moles.

Similarly, 2 moles of sodium nitrate produce 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.2353 moles produce 0.4706 moles.

From this, it can be concluded that copper chloride is a limiting reagent and will be used to calculate the mass of NaCl.

Mass of NaCl is calculated as: Mass = 0.223 moles × 58.44 = 13.03 gms.

Therefore, 13.03 gms is the theoretical yield of sodium chloride.

In Denver, Colorado the elevation is about 5,280 feet above sea level. Explain what potential effects this may have on the solub

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The solubility of the gaseous solute decreases

Explanation:

As we know, pressure decreases with altitude. This means that, at higher altitudes, the pressure is much lower than it is at sea level.

The solubility of a gas increases with increase in pressure and decreases with decrease in pressure.

Hence, in Denver, Colorado where the elevation is about 5,280 feet above sea level, a gaseous solute is less soluble than it is at sea level due to the lower pressure at such high altitude.

If you assume this reaction is driven to completion because of the large excess of one ion, what is the concentration of [Fe(SCN

viktelen [127]

Answer : The concentration of $[Fe(SCN)]^{2+}$ is, $4.32\times 10^{-4}M$

Explanation :

When we assume this reaction is driven to completion because of the large excess of one ion then we are assuming limiting reagent is $SCN^-$ and $Fe^{3+}$ is excess reagent.
