Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc , for the equilibrium shown below, if 0.124 moles of NO, 0.0240 mole of H2,

sdas [7]

the reaction is

2NO(g) + 2H2(g) <—> N2(g) + 2H2O (g)

Kc = [N2] [ H2O]^2 / [NO]^2 [ H2]^2

Given

moles of NO = 0.124 therefore [NO] = moles /volume = 0.124 /2 = 0.062

moles of H2 = 0.0240 , therefore [H2] = moles / volume = 0.0240 / 2 = 0.012

moles of N2 = 0.0380 , therefore [N2] = moles / volume = 0.0380 / 2 = 0.019

moles of H2O = 0.0276 , therefore [H2O] = moles / volume = 0.0276 / 2 = 0.0138

Kc = (0.019) ( 0.0138)^2 / (0.062)^2 ( 0.012)^2 = 6.54

An organic compound, which has the empirical formula C12H25 has an approximate molar mass of 338 g/mol. What is its probable mol

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

C24H50

Explanation:

The empirical fomula's molar mass is 169.25 g/mol.

We know the molecular formula's molar mass is 338 g/mol.

338/169.25= 1.99 or approximately 2

What are the chemical properties of beryllium phosphide??

o-na [289]

Answer:

Forms ionic bonds, insoluble, doesn't participate in single or double displacement reactions, non-reactive, high heat of combustion

Explanation:

Beryllium is a metal, since it belongs to group 2A, the alkaline earth metals. It has a total of 2 valence electrons.

Phosphorus, on the other hand, belongs to group 5A and has a total of 5 valence electrons.

We have a compound which has a metal in it, therefore, it's an ionic compound. Beryllium, our metal, loses its 2 electrons to gain an octet and phosphorus, our nonmetal, should gain 3 electrons to have an octet. The oxidation states are +2 and -3 respectively. This means we need 3 beryllium cations and 2 phosphide anions in our formula $Be_3P_2$ .

Beryllium phosphide would be expected to be insoluble, as only beryllium chloride, fluoride, nitrate, phosphate and sulfate are soluble substances, while the remaining ones are expected to be insoluble.

Due to its insolubility, beryllium phosphide would not participate in any ionic reactions, such as single displacement or double displacement.

Since it's insoluble, we expect this compound to be chemically stable and not reactive. This implies that if we wanted to burn it, the heat of combustion would be very high, as a lot of energy would be needed to be supplied in an endothermic reaction in order to burn it.

We can also perform a similar calculation for the mass defect and binding energy for nuclear reactions using the masses of the a

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

$\frac{235}{92} U + \frac{1}{0} n ---->\frac{137}{52} Te + \frac{97}{40} Zr +2\frac{1}{0} n$

Hence the mass defect is;

[235.04393 + 1.00867] - [ 136.92532 + 96.91095 + 2(1.00867)]

= 236.0526 - 235.85361

= 0.19899 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.19899 amu = 0.19899 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 3.3 * 10^-28 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 2.97 * 10^-11 J

ii) $\frac{10}{5}B + \frac{1}{0}n-----> \frac{7}{3} Li + \frac{4}{2} He + Energy$

Hence the mass defect is;

[10.01294 + 1.00867] - [7.01600 + 4.00260]

= 11.02161 - 11.0186

= 0.00301 amu

Since 1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 Kg

0.00301 amu = 0.00301 * 1.66 * 10^-27 = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 4.997 * 10^-30 Kg * (3 * 10^8)^2 = 4.5 * 10^-13 J

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

dG will be the same -20 kcal/mol

Explanation:

The dG can be expressed in terms of the G(products) - G(reactants). If the amount of enzyme is doubled the Gibbs energy of the reactants and products will be the same, so the substraction dG has the same value
