The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

For the reaction PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g) at equilibrium, which statement correctly describes the effects of increasing pressure and adding PCl_5, respectively

a) Increasing pressure causes shift to reactants, adding PCl_5 causes shift to products.

b) Increasing pressure causes shift to products ,adding PCl_5 causes shift to reactants.

c) Increasing pressure causes shift to products, adding PCl_5 causes shift to products.

d) Increasing pressure causes shift to reactants,adding PCl_5 causes shift to reactants

Answer: Increasing pressure causes shift to reactants, adding PCl_5 causes shift to products.

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)

a)  If the pressure is increased, the volume will decrease according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is lesser at the reactant side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction. i.e. towards reactants.

b) If PCl_5 is added, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where PCl_5 is decreasing. So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction. i.e. towards products.

yuradex [85]

The atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape class) AXn that has shape square pyramidal at the corers of square and one at the above center of the square.

<h3>What is square pyramidal?</h3>

The square pyramidal is a shape geometry of the hybridization in which it consists of one lone pair and 5 bond pairs of electrons that repel each other and due to which the geometry changes from octahedral to square pyramidal.

As atoms are located at the four corners of the planer and one atom at the above center of the planner which is repelled by 4 atoms present at the corner of the planer.

Therefore, the atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape class) AXn that has a shape square pyramidal at the corners of the square and one at the above center of the square.

What orbitals are used to form the 10 sigma bonds in propane (ch3ch2ch3)? Label each atom with the appropriate hybridization. Dr
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Mixing of pure orbitals having nearly equal energy to form equal number of completely new orbitals is said to be hybridization.

For the compound, CH_3CH_2CH_3 the electronic configuration of the atoms, carbon and hydrogen are:

Carbon (atomic number=6): In ground state= 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{2}

In excited state: 1s^{2}2s^{1}2p^{3}

Hydrogen (atomic number=1): 1s^{1}

All the bonds in the compound is single bond(\sigma-bond) that is they are formed by head on collision of the orbitals.

The structure of the compound is shown in the image.

The Carbon-Hydrogen bond is formed by overlapping of s-orbital of hydrogen to p-orbital of carbon.

In order to complete the octet the required number of electrons for carbon is 4 and for hydrogen is 1. So, the electron in 1s^{1} of hydrogen will overlap to the 2p^{3}-orbital of carbon.

Thus, the hybridization of Hydrogen is s-hybridization and the hybridization of Carbon is sp^{3}-hybridization.

The hybridization of each atom is shown in the image.

In which step of a four-stroke engine cycle does the car release CO2, H2O, and CO?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{exhaust stroke}}

Explanation:

The four strokes are

  1. Intake: The mixture of air and fuel enters the cylinder.
  2. Compression: The mixture is compressed by a factor of about 11.
  3. Ignition: A spark ignites the fuel, which burns and produces CO₂, CO, and H₂O.
  4. Exhaust: The combustion products are expelled from the cylinder.

\text{The cylinder releases CO$_{2}$, CO, and H$_{2}$O during the }\boxed{\textbf{exhaust stroke}}
