What is the significance sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid
hammer [34]

Answer:

They are a base and an acid,  so they neutralize each other.

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide is a strong base. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.

They react with (neutralize) each other to form a salt (sodium chloride) and water.

NaOH + HCl ⟶ NaCl + H₂O

At 700 K, the reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) <====> 2SO3(g) has the equilibrium constant Kc = 4.3 x 106. At a certain instant, f
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is defined for a generic reaction:

aA + bB → cC + dD

Q=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are not those of equilibrium, but other given concentrations

Chemical Equilibrium is the state in which the direct and indirect reaction have the same speed and is represented by a constant Kc, which for a generic reaction as shown above, is defined:

Kc=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are those of equilibrium.

This constant is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:

  • If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.
  • If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.
  • If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.

In this case:

Q=\frac{[So_{3}] ^{2} }{[SO_{2} ]^{2}* [O_{2}] }

Q=\frac{10^{2} }{0.10^{2} *0.10}

Q=100,000

100,000 < 4,300,000 (4.3*10⁶)

Q < Kc

When you combine chocolate powder and milk, the result is best describe as?
NeX [460]
Answer:

The answer to your question would be substance, but chocolate power mixed into milk would be more of a suspension.

Explanation:

Neither chocolate powder nor milk are elements. They are both complex molecules. Their mixture will not result in the formation of a compound since no chemical reaction will take place.

The molecules of the chocolate powder will simply intermingle with the fatty molecules of the milk to form the substance.

When thoroughly mixed the solution will become homogeneous so there will be no lumps of chocolate power visible. But after time, the chocolate will become visible at the bottom of the clear container in which we asked you to prepare the mixture.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)

If i add 25 mL of water to 125 mL of a 0.15 M NaOH solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be ?
marshall27 [118]
1000 mL=1L

25 mL = 0.025 L
125 mL = 0.125 L

M1V1=M2V2
0.15(0.125) = M2(0.025)
0.01875 = M2(0.025)
0.75 = M2

0.75 M
