Answer:

a.  pNO₂ = 1 atm    pN₂O₄ = 4 atm

b.  pNO₂ = 1 atm    pN₂O₄ = 4 atm

c. It does not matter.

Explanation:

From the information given in this question we know the equilibrium involved is

N₂O₄ (g) ⇄ 2 NO₂ (g)

with Kp  given by

Kp = p NO₂²/ p N₂O₄ = 0.25

We know that if we place 4.5 atm of N₂O₄ is placed in a flask, a quantity x is going to be consumed producing 2x atm of NO₂  and we can setup the following equation:

0.25 =  p NO₂²/ p N₂O₄ =  (2x)² / (4.5 - x)

0.25 x  (4.5 - x) = 4x²

4x² + 0.25 x - 1.125 = 0

after solving this quadratic equation, we get two roots

x₁ = 0.5

x₂ = -0.56

the second root is physically impossible, and the partial pressures for x₁ = 0.5  will be

pNO₂ = 2 x 0.5 atm = 1.0 atm

pN₂O₄ = (4.5 - 0.5) atm = 4.0 atm

Similarly for part b, we get the equilibrium equation

0.25 = (9- 2x)² / x

0.25x = 81 - 36x + 4x²

the roots of this equation are:

x₁ = 5.0625

x₂ = 4

the first root is physically impossible since it will give us a negative partial pressure of N₂O₄ :

p N₂O₄ = 9 - 2(5.0625) = -1.13

the second root give us the following partial pressures:

p N₂O₄ = (9 - 2x4) atm = 1 atm

p NO₂ = 4 atm

The partial pressures are the same, it does not matter from which direction an equilibrium position is reached since what is essential is that the partial pressures of the gasses N₂O₄ and  NO₂ obey the equilibrium equation.

A scientist wants to predict the effect of rise of global air temperature on sea level around the world which method a controlle
Verizon [17]

A scientific model is a simplified version of some phenomenon that takes place in natural systems. A scientific model can be visual (flow charts), graphical, conceptual, or mathematical. These models are used to make predictions about how a set of conditions would change the present scenario in future. Scientific models can explain how the ongoing changes in the environment can show long term affect on our planet like the climate change. Therefore, a scientific model can be used to explain the phenomena like the effect of global air temperatures on the mean sea level around the world.

How many moles are there in 3.612 x 1024 formula units of Na2SO4?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

<h3>Theanswer is 6 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L}  \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.612 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Both kepler's laws and newton's laws tell us something about the motion of the planets, but there are fundamental differences be
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: See description

Explanation:

Kepler's laws have three principal points:

1. planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths

2. the orbial period is related to the orbital distance by T^{2} = d^3

where T is the orbital period and d is the orbital distance, T is in years and d is measured in units of the earth sun distance.

3. planets closer to the sun move faster than planets far away from it.

Newton:

Newton discovered that there is a consequence to the gravity exerted by objects: mass, the heavier the planet, the more gravitational force it posseses ( thats why we orbit the sun)

with the gravitational force F_{gravitational} =G \frac{Mm}{r^2} newton discovered the inverse-quadratic relationship between the distance of the planets and the acceleration exerted by the force one could exert on another.

Kepler's laws were mostly based on observed evidence with quantitative relationships between the mentioned variables. Newton's laws are based on calculus and symbolic equations. While Kepler's mode is basic, Newton took another step in and build a more general model for gravity (which was improved by general relativity later). In a nutshell Newton proved the scientific causes for Kepler's laws...

Hiii pls help me to write out the ionic equation ​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

<u>STEP I</u>

This is the balanced equation for the given reaction:-

2KOH_{(aq)} + H_2SO_4{}_{(aq)}   \rightarrow K_2SO_4{}_{(aq)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}

<u>STEP II</u>

The compounds marked with (aq) are soluble ionic compounds. They must be

broken into their respective ions.

see, in the equation KOH, H2SO4, and K2SO4 are marked with (aq).

On breaking them into their respective ions :-

  • 2KOH -> 2K+ + 2OH-
  • H2SO4 -> 2H+ + (SO4)2-
  • K2SO4 -> 2K+ + (SO4)2-

<u>STEP III</u>

Rewriting these in the form of equation

\underline{\pmb{2K^+} }+ 2OH^- + 2H^+ + \pmb{\underline{{SO_4{}^{2-}}} \: \rightarrow \:  \underline{\pmb{2K^+}}} + \underline{\pmb{SO_4{}^{2-}}} + 2H_2O

<u>STEP </u><u>IV</u>

Canceling spectator ions, the ions that appear the same on either side of the equation

<em>(note: in the above step the ions in bold have gotten canceled.)</em>

\boxed{ \mathfrak{ \red{ 2OH^-{}_{(aq)} + 2H^+{(aq.)} \rightarrow H_2O{}_{(l)}}}}

This is the net ionic equation.

____________________________

\\

\mathfrak{\underline{\green{ Why\: KOH \:has\:  been\: taken\: as\: aqueous ?}}}

  • KOH has been taken as aqueous because the question informs us that we have a solution of KOH. by solution it means that KOH has been dissolved in water before use.

[Alkali metal hydroxides are the only halides soluble in water ]
