2 answers:

D. A ll of the above. catalyst reduces the activation energy thereby making the reaction faster. an increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy and no of collisions making reaction faster for an endothermic reaction while decrease in temperature favors an exothermic reaction.
increase in concentration increases the molecules reacting so the reaction is faster and vice versa.

Answer: <span>D. all of the above

All of these effect the rate, as a catalyst would speed it up, and also temperature and concentration. </span>

Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. The forward reaction i

anygoal [31]

Answer:

A. for K>>1 you can say that the reaction is nearly irreversible so the forward direction is favored. (Products formation)

B. When the temperature rises the equilibrium is going to change but to know how is going to change you have to take into account the kind of reaction. For endothermic reactions (the reverse reaction is favored) and for exothermic reactions (the forward reaction is favored)

Explanation:

A. The equilibrium constant K is defined as

$K=\frac{Products}{reagents}$

In any case

aA +Bb equilibrium Cd +dD

where K is:

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

[] is molar concentration.

If K>>> 1 it means that the molar concentration of products is a lot bigger that the molar concentration of reagents, so the forward reaction is favored.

B. The relation between K and temperature is given by the Van't Hoff equation

$ln(\frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}})=\frac{-delta H^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})$

Where: H is reaction enthalpy, R is the gas constant and T temperature.

Clearing the equation for $K_{2}$ we get:

$K_{2}=\frac{K_{1}}{e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}$

Here we can study two cases: when delta $H^{o}$ is positive (exothermic reactions) and when is negative (endothermic reactions)

For exothermic reactions when we increase the temperature the denominator in the equation would have a negative exponent so $K_{2}$ is greater that $K_{1}$ and the forward reaction is favored.

When we have an endothermic reaction we will have a positive exponent so $K_{2}$ will be less than $K_{1}$ the forward reactions is not favored.

${e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}$

Muriatic acid, HCl, is often used to remove rust. A solution of muriatic acid, HCl, reacts with Fe2O3 deposits on industrial equ

Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction.

Fe2O3(s) + 6HCl(aq) → 2FeCl3(aq) + 3H2O

Step 2 :

Determination of the masses of HCl and Fe2O3 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Fe2O3 = 159.70g/mol

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

Mass of HCl from the balanced equation = 6 x 36.46 = 218.76g

From the balanced equation above,

159.70g of Fe2O3 reacted with 218.76g of HCl

Step 3:

Determination of the mass of HCl needed to react with 439g of Fe2O3. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

159.70g of Fe2O3 reacted with 218.76g of HCl.

Therefore, 439g of Fe2O3 will react with = (439 x 218.76) /159.70 = 601.35g of HCl.

Step 4:

Conversion of 601.35g of HCl to mole. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

Mass of HCl = 601.35g

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of HCl = 601.35/36.46

Number of mole of HCl = 16.49 moles

Step 5:

Determination of the volume of the HCl that reacted.

This is illustrated below:

Mole of HCl = 16.49 moles

Molarity of HCl = 5.50 M

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 16.49/5.5

Volume of HCl = 3L

Therefore the volume of HCl needed for the reaction is 3L

In many cases, a negatively charged compound (ex Cl-) will interact with a positively charged metal (ex Fe2 ). Usually we would

Zina [86]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An ionic bond occurs due to electrostatic attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion.

A metal and a ligand are bound by a coordinate covalent bond or a dative bond. This bond occurs due to donation of electron pairs from ligands to available orbitals on metals.

The formation of coordinate bonds is evident when neutral molecules or negative ions with non bonding electrons donate same to empty metal orbitals. This is sometimes shown by an arrow pointing from the ligands to the metal center.

For instance; tetraammine copper II ion is formed when four ammonia molecules donate a lone pair each to available vacant orbitals of the copper metal center to form [Cu(NH3)4]^2+.
