For the closed system below: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq) How would you know if the system is at equilibrium?

1 answer:

5 0

For the chemical reactiom to be at equilibrium:
1- The rate of forward reaction must be equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
2- The mass of EACH element must be equal before and after the reaction (no NET change in mass), otherwise the equilibrium will shift.

Important note: you need to check the mass of each element before and after the reaction (i.e, reactants side and products side) and the not the mass of the system as a whole. This is because the mass of the whole system will be preserved whether the system is at equilibrium or not (this is the fundamental law of mass conservation)

You are performing an experiment that uses 114Ag. 113Ag is radioactive, decays by beta-- emission and has a half-life of 21 minu

Answer: The 234.74 grams of sample should be ordered.

Explanation:

Let the gram of 114 Ag to ordered be $N_o$

The amount required for the beginning of experiment = 0.0575 g

Time requires to ship the sample = 4.2hour = 252 min(1 hr = 60 min)

Half life of the sample = ${t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = 21 min

$\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{21 min}=0.033 min^{-1}$

$\log[N]=\log[N_o]-\frac{\lambda t}{2.303}$

$\log[0.0575 g]=\log[N_o]-\frac{0.033 min^{-1}\times 252 min}{2.303}$

$N_o=234.74 grams$

The 234.74 grams of sample should be ordered.

Katen [24]

Answer: v = 2π2 Kme2 Z / nh

Explanation:

The formula for velocity of an electron in the nth orbit is given as,

v = 2π2 Kme2 Z / nh

v = velocity

K = 1/(4πε0)

m= mass of an electron

e = Charge on an electron

Z= atomic number

h= Planck’s constant

n is a positive integer.

Convert the following to grams 0.500 moles of (NH4)2CO3

steposvetlana [31]

Molar mass (NH₄)₂CO₃ = 96.09 g/mol

1 mole ---------> 96.09 g
0.500 moles ----> ?

0.500 * 96.09 = 48.045 g of (NH₄)₂CO₃

Write the Noble Gas Notation for Silicone

ozzi

Answer:

[Ne] 3s2 3p2

Explanation:

Neon (Ne) is the noble gas right before silicon (Si).

Then right after neon is the 3s subshell. It has two electrons and is full.

After 3s comes the 3p subshell, and silicon only has two electrons in the 3p subshell (you can just count the electrons in each subshell on your periodic table).

PLEASE HELP this is chemistry 12 points

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

6.791

Explanation:

For proper significant figures with addition, you would use the significant figures of the number with lowest decimal place. 6.298 goes to the 10⁻³ place. 0.492712 goes to the 10⁻⁶ place. You will go out to the 10⁻³ place.

6.298 + 0.492712 = 6.790712 ≈ 6.791
