Explanation:

They allow the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen to be single. They increase the partial positive charge on the oxygen atom. They counter the uneven pull on electrons between the atoms.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction AgBr(s) Picture Ag+(aq) + Br− (aq) is the solubility product constant, Ksp = 7.7 × 10−

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The reaction will be non spontaneous at these concentrations.

Explanation:

$AgBr(s)\rightarrow Ag^+(aq) + Br^- (aq)$

Expression for an equilibrium constant $K_c$ :

$K_c=\frac{[Ag^+][Br^-]}{[AgCl]}=\frac{[Ag^+][Br^-]}{1}=[Ag^+][Br^-]$

Solubility product of the reaction:

$K_{sp}=[Ag^+][Br^-]=K_c=7.7\times 10^{-13}$

Reaction between Gibb's free energy and equilibrium constant if given as:

$\Delta G^o=-2.303\times R\times T\times \log K_c$

$\Delta G^o=-2.303\times R\times T\times \log K_{sp}$

$\Delta G^o=-2.303\times 8.314 J/K mol\times 298 K\times \log[7.7\times 10^{-13}]$

$\Delta G^o=69,117.84 J/mol=69.117 kJ/mol$

Gibb's free energy when concentration $[Ag^+] = 1.0\times 10^{-2} M$ and $[Br^-] = 1.0\times 10^{-3} M$

Reaction quotient of an equilibrium = Q

$Q=[Ag^+][Br^-]=1.0\times 10^{-2} M\times 1.0\times 10^{-3} M=1.0\times 10^{-5}$

$\Delta G=\Delta G^o+(2.303\times R\times T\times \log Q)$

$\Delta G=69.117 kJ/mol+(2.303\times 8.314 Joule/mol K\times 298 K\times \log[1.0\times 10^{-5}])$

$\Delta G=40.588 kJ/mol$

For reaction to spontaneous reaction: $\Delta G$ .
For reaction to non spontaneous reaction: $\Delta G>0$ .

Since ,the value of Gibbs free energy is greater than zero which means reaction will be non spontaneous at these concentrations

Two substances, A and Z, are to be identified. Substance A can not be broken down by a chemical change. Substance Z can be broke

Kisachek [45]

Answer;

(3) Substance A is an element and substance Z is a compound.

Explanation;

-A compound is a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together, such as water, carbon dioxide, methane, etc while an element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atoms, such includes, oxygen, potassium, hydrogen, carbon, etc.

- Compounds can be broken down or decomposed into simpler substances: elements cannot be broken down chemically into simpler substances .
