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.

Draw a sodium formate molecule. The structure has been supplied here for you to copy. To add formal charges, click the button be
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.

Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).

Nomenclature:

                       In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.

Name of Formate:

                             Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.

E.g.

                    HCOOH (formic acid)    →     HCOO⁻ (formate)  +  H⁺

                H₃CCOOH (acetic acid)     →      H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate)  +  H⁺

Formal Charges:

                           Formal charges are calculated using following formula,

          F.C  =  [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]

For Oxygen:

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 2/2]

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 1]

                    F.C  =  6 - 7

                    F.C  =  -1

For Sodium:

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0 + 0/2]

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0]

                    F.C  =  1 - 0

                    F.C  =  +1

what does the statment mean. The properties of salts are different from the properties of the elements that go into making them
Olegator [25]
Think of it this way,
Mix Iron and sulphur in a bowl. How do you separate them? Use a magnet right. Yes.

Now, mix the iron and sulphur together but know, heat them up. Let them cool for a while. After that, use a magnet to separate. You cant. This is because the compound (FeS) now has a different property from its original components.

Apply this theory onto salts.
