Consider the following chemical reaction: CO (g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g) At equilibrium in a particular experiment, the concentratio
grigory [225]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of CH_3OH will be, (C) 2.82\times 10^{-1}

Explanation :  Given,

Equilibrium constant = 14.5

Concentration of CO at equilibrium = 0.15 M

Concentration of H_2 at equilibrium = 0.36 M

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH(g)

The expression of equilibrium constant for the reaction will be:

K_c=\frac{[CH_3OH]}{[CO][H_2]^2}

Now put all the values in this expression, we get:

14.5=\frac{[CH_3OH]}{(0.15)\times (0.36)^2}

[CH_3OH]=2.82\times 10^{-1}M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of CH_3OH will be, (C) 2.82\times 10^{-1}

Why does the sky appear orang or red at sunset and sunrise?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Because the sun is low on the horizon, sunlight passes through more air at sunset and sunrise than during the day, when the sun is higher in the sky. More atmosphere means more molecules to scatter the violet and blue light away from your eyes.
