Activation energy is a thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a reaction. It is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur. The energy can be in the form of kinetic or potential energy. This concept was introduced by Svante Arrhenius, which brought about the Arrhenius equation which is a formula used to determine rate of reactions.

Nitrogen dioxide and water react to form nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide, like this:
posledela

Answer: The value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 3.72

Explanation:

Equilibrium concentration of HNO_3 = \frac{15.5g}{63g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.026M

Equilibrium concentration of NO = \frac{16.6g}{30g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.058M

Equilibrium concentration of NO_2 = \frac{22.5g}{46g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.051M

Equilibrium concentration of H_2O = \frac{189.0g}{18g/mol\times 9.5L}=1.10M

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_c  

For the given chemical reaction:

2HNO_3(aq)+NO(g)\rightarrow 3NO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

The expression for K_c is written as:

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^3\times [H_2O]^1}{[HNO_3]^2\times [NO]^1}

K_c=\frac{(0.051)^3\times (1.10)^1}{(0.026)^2\times (0.058)^1}

K_c=3.72

Thus  the value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 3.72

The molar solubility of pbi2 is 1.5 103 m.
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: -

Concentration of PbI₂ = 1.5 x 10⁻³ M

PbI₂ dissociates in water as

PbI₂ ⇄ Pb²⁺ + 2 I⁻

So PbI₂ releases two times the amount of I⁻ as it's own concentration when saturated.

Thus the molar concentration of iodide ion in a saturated PbI₂ solution = [ I⁻] =

= 1.5 x 10⁻³ x 2 M

= 3 x 10⁻³ M

PbI₂ releases the same amount of Pb²⁺ as it's own concentration when saturated.

[Pb²⁺] = 1.5 x 10⁻³ M

So solubility product for PbI₂

Ksp = [Pb²⁺] x [ I⁻]²

=1.5 x 10⁻³ x (3 x 10⁻³)²

= 4.5 x 10⁻⁹

Which of the following equations has the correct products and is balanced correctly for a reaction between Na3PO4 and KOH?
ASHA 777 [7]

The answer is: A) Na3PO4 + 3KOH → 3NaOH + K3PO4, because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction.

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations (K⁺ and Na⁺) and anions (PO₄³⁻⁻ and OH⁻) of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.  

Na₃PO₄ is sodium phosphate.  

KOH is potassium hydroxide.  

NaOH is sodium hydroxide.  

K₃PO₄ is potassium phosphate.  

According to the mass conservation law, there are same number of atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction.
