Answer:

The minimum volume of the container is 0.0649 cubic meters, which is the same as 64.9 liters.

Explanation:

Assume that ethane behaves as an ideal gas under these conditions.

By the ideal gas law,

P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T,

\displaystyle V = \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}.

where

  • P is the pressure of the gas,
  • V is the volume of the gas,
  • n is the number of moles of particles in this gas,
  • R is the ideal gas constant, and
  • T is the absolute temperature of the gas (in degrees Kelvins.)

The numerical value of R will be 8.314 if P, V, and T are in SI units. Convert these values to SI units:

  • P =\rm 5.00\times 10^{2}\;kPa = 5.00\times 10^{2}\times 10^{3}\; Pa = 5.00\times 10^{5}\; Pa;
  • V shall be in cubic meters, \rm m^{3};
  • T = \rm 52.0 \textdegree C = (52.0 + 273.15)\; K = 325.15\; K.

Apply the ideal gas law:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}V &= \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}\\ &= \frac{12.0\times 8.314\times 325.15}{5.00\times 10^{5}}\\ &= \rm 0.0649\; m^{3} \\ &= \rm (0.0649\times 10^{3})\; L \\ &=\rm 64.9\; L\end{aligned}.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Le Chatelier's principle can be applied in explaining the results

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a constraint such as a change in concentration in this case is imposed on a chemical system in equilibrium, the system will adjust itself in such a way as to annul the constraint imposed.

Hence, when the color of the solution was more like that of the control, the reaction would shift towards the left. Similarly, when the color was more like it was towards the reactant, the reaction would shift towards the right.

If we were to prepare calcium oxalate, we should prepare it in a base solution. This is because when the base was added to calcium oxalate, it did not form any precipitate but when an acid was added to the calcium oxalate, it formed a precipitate.

For the reaction PC15 (8) PC13 (g) + Cl2 (g) K = 0.0454 at 261 °C. If a vessel is filled with these gases such that the initial
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The K_{eq} is samller than Q of the reaction . So,the reaction will shift towards the left i.e. towards the reactant side.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant 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_{eq}

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

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

The expression for Q is written as:

Q=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[[PCl_5]^1}

Q=\frac{0.20 M\times 2.5 M}{0.20 M}

Q=2.5

Given : K_{eq} = 0.0454

Thus as K_{eq}, the reaction will shift towards the left i.e. towards the reactant side.
