Nails are made up of iron not of phosphorus and barium.

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.

So the nails are made up of iron.

Given the following information, what is the concentration of H2O(g) at equilibrium? [H2S](eq) = 0.671 M [O2](eq) = 0.587 M Kc =

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{c}$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

The expression for $K_{eq}$ is written as:

$K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in the expression.

For the given chemical reaction:

$2H_2S(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2S(s)+2H_2O(g)$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation is:

$K_c=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{[H_2S]^2\times [O_2]}$

We are given:

$[H_2S]_{eq}=0.671M$

$[O_2]_{eq}=0.587M$

$K_c=1.35$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$1.35=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{(0.671)^2\times 0.587}$

$[H_2O]=\sqrt{(1.35\times 0.671\times 0.671\times 0.587)}=0.597M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M
