Answers and Explanation:

a)- The chemical equation for the corresponden equilibrium of Ka1 is:

2. HNO2(aq)⇌H+(aq)+NO−2

Because Ka1 correspond to a dissociation equilibrium. Nitrous acid (HNO₂) losses a proton (H⁺) and gives the monovalent anion NO₂⁻.

b)- The relation between Ka and the free energy change (ΔG) is given by the following equation:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

Where T is the temperature (T= 25ºc= 298 K) and R is the gases constant (8.314 J/K.mol)

At the equilibrium: ΔG=0 and Q= Ka. So, we can calculate ΔGº by introducing the value of Ka:

⇒ 0 = ΔGº + RT ln Ka

   ΔGº= - RT ln Ka

   ΔGº= -8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (4.5 10⁻⁴)

  ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol

c)- According to the previous demonstation, at equilibrium ΔG= 0.

d)- In a non-equilibrium condition, we have Q which is calculated with the concentrations of products and reactions in a non equilibrium state:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

Q= ((H⁺) (NO₂⁻))/(HNO₂)

Q= ( (5.9 10⁻² M) x (6.7 10⁻⁴ M) ) / (0.21 M)

Q= 1.88 10⁻⁴

We know that   ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol, so:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

ΔG= 19092.8 J/mol + (8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (1.88 10⁻⁴)

ΔG= -2162.4 J/mol

Notice that ΔG<0, so the process is spontaneous in that direction.

For the separation of components of a mixture, we are following different methods. What is the condition in which the process of
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The mixture 1/ must be homogeneous where there is one or more dissolved salts; 2/ should only contain one liquid component.

Explanation:

This method drives off the liquid components from the solid components. The process typically involves heating the mixture until no more liquid remains. Prior to using this method, the mixture should only contain one liquid component, unless it is not important to isolate the liquid components. This is because all liquid components will evaporate over time. This method is suitable to separate a soluble solid from a liquid.

Note : In many parts of the world, table salt is obtained from the evaporation of sea water. The heat for the process comes from the sun.

Which of the following is a nonpolar molecule?
mylen [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is A) a nitrogen molecule.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Polar covalent molecules are defined as chemical compounds in which the difference in electronegativity between the atoms is not equal to 0. These molecules are formed by heteronuclear molecules.

Heteronuclear molecules are defined as the molecules which are formed by the combination of more than one type of atom having a different nucleus.

Non-polar covalent molecules are defined as chemical compounds in which the difference in electronegativity between the atoms is equal to 0. These molecules are formed by homonuclear molecules.

Homonuclear molecules are defined as the molecules which are formed by the combination of one type of atom having the same nucleus.

From the given options:

  • A) A nitrogen molecule

It is a homonuclear molecule formed by the combination of 2 nitrogen atoms

  • B) A nitrogen monoxide molecule

It is a heteronuclear molecule formed by the combination of 1 nitrogen and 1 oxygen atoms

  • C) A linear nitrogen oxide molecule (N_2O) with nitrogen in the center

It is a heteronuclear molecule formed by the combination of 2 nitrogen and 1 oxygen atom and has some dipole moment. Thus, is considered a polar molecule

  • D) A bent nitrogen dioxide molecule (NO_2) with nitrogen in the center

It is a heteronuclear molecule formed by the combination of 1 nitrogen and 2 oxygen atoms and has some dipole moment. Thus, is considered a polar molecule

Hence, the correct option is A) a nitrogen molecule.

Consider the reaction: 2A(g)+B(g)→3C(g). When A is changing at a rate of -0.110M⋅s−1, How fast is C increasing?
mr_godi [17]
From the reaction above, the rate is given by the following formula:
r = -(1/2) dA / dt = - dB / dt = (1/3) dC/ dt
Note that A and B charge is negative due to they decrease with time
given dA / dt = -0.110 M/s
hence dB / dt = -0.110 / 2 = -0.055 M/s
dC / dt = (-3/2) (-0.110) = 0.165 M/s
