Answer:

(D) K >> 1 implies that the reaction is very fast at producing products.

Explanation:

For a reaction:

nA + xB ⇄ bC + aD

The thermodynamic equilibrium constant (k) is:

k = $\frac{[C]^b[D]^a]}{[A]^n[B]^x}$ (1)

(A) When K >> 1, the forward reaction is favored and essentially goes to completion. TRUE. By (1), a k>> 1 means that you have more products than reactants

(B) When K << 1, the reverse reaction is favored and the forward reaction does not proceed to a great extent. TRUE. By (1), a k<< 1 means that you have more reactants than products.

(C) When K ≈ 1, neither the forward or reverse reaction is strongly favored, and about the same amount of reactants and products exist at equilibrium. TRUE. By (1), a k ≈ 1 means that you have the same concentration of products andreactants

(D) K >> 1 implies that the reaction is very fast at producing products. FALSE. k is a thermodynamic parameter. To evaluate the rate of a reaction you need to study the kinetics of this one.

I hope it helps!

Study the Lewis dot diagram for nitrogen. Explain what is correct and what is incorrect about the diagram. Use details to suppor

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The Lewis dot diagram is supposed to have dots on each side. What's incorrect is that there isn't a dot on the bottom, only the left and right side and the top. What's correct about this is that there are 5 outer valence electrons, and they correctly put 5 dots, even though they're in the wrong place.

A chemist uses hot hydrogen gas to convert chromium(III) oxide to

Darya [45]

Answer: 3.024 g grams of hydrogen are needed to convert 76 grams of chromium(III) oxide, $Cr_{2}O_{3}$

Explanation:

The reaction equation for given reaction is as follows.

$Cr_{2}O_{3} + 3H_{2} \rightarrow 2Cr + 3H_{2}O$

Here, 1 mole of $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ reacts with 3 moles of $H_{2}$ .

As mass of chromium (III) oxide is given as 76 g and molar mass of chromium (III) oxide $(Cr_{2}O_{3})$ is 152 g/mol.

Number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ is calculated as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{76 g}{152 g/mol}\\= 0.5 mol$

Now, moles of $H_{2}$ .given by 0.5 mol of $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ is calculated as follows.

$0.5 mol Cr_{2}O_{3} \times \frac{3 mol H_{2}}{1 mol Cr_{2}O_{3}}\\= 1.5 mol H_{2}$

As molar mass of $H_{2}$ is 2.016 g/mol. Therefore, mass of $H_{2}$ is calculated as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\1.5 mol = \frac{mass}{2.016 g/mol}\\mass = 3.024 g$

Thus, we can conclude that 3.024 g grams of hydrogen are needed to convert 76 grams of chromium(III) oxide, $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ .

The boiling point of h2o (100 oc) is higher than the boiling point of h2s (-61 oc) because

aksik [14]

Water has hydrogen bonds between Hydrogen atoms (that are slightly positive in molecules of water ) and Oxygen atoms (that are slightly negative in molecules of water), so it is necessary more energy to break them down and move water molecules from liquid state to gas.
