150 mL of 0.25 mol/L magnesium chloride solution and 150 mL of 0.35 mol/L silver nitrate solution are mixed together. After reac

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

$0.175\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Magnesium chloride and silver nitrate reacts at a $2:1$ ratio:

$\rm MgCl_2\, (aq) + 2\, AgNO_3\, (aq) \to Mg(NO_3)_2 \, (aq) + 2\, AgCl\, (s)$ .

In reality, the nitrate ion from silver nitrate did not take part in this reaction at all. Consider the ionic equation for this very reaction:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Mg^{2+} + 2\, Cl^{-} + 2\, Ag^{+} + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \\&\to \rm Mg^{2+} + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} + 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

The precipitate silver chloride $\rm AgCl$ is insoluble in water and barely ionizes. Hence, $\rm AgCl\!$ isn't rewritten as ions.

Net ionic equation:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+} + Cl^{-} \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the initial quantity of nitrate ions in the mixture.

$\begin{aligned}n(\text{initial}) &= c(\text{initial}) \cdot V(\text{initial}) \\ &= 0.25\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} \times 0.150\; \rm L \\ &= 0.0375\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Since nitrate ions $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ do not take part in any reaction in this mixture, the quantity of this ion would stay the same.

$n(\text{final}) = n(\text{initial}) = 0.0375\; \rm mol$ .

However, the volume of the new solution is twice that of the original nitrate solution. Hence, the concentration of nitrate ions in the new solution would be $(1/2)$ of the concentration in the original solution.

$\begin{aligned} c(\text{final}) &= \frac{n(\text{final})}{V(\text{final})} \\ &= \frac{0.0375\; \rm mol}{0.300\; \rm L} = 0.175\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Which activity might help to increase the validity of this experiment?

MArishka [77]

A should be the answer because the more you test an experiment the more data you have to rely on changing the experiment would cause you to have different outcomes making the results different and unreliable so B, C, and D is not going to be the answer Hope this helps

At a given temperature, the elementary reaction A --->B in the forward direction is first order in A with a rate constant of

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction A ⇒ B is Kc = 1.72 × 10³.

The value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction B ⇒ A is K'c = 5.81 × 10⁻⁴.

Explanation:

For the reaction A ⇒ B, the equilibrium constant (Kc) is equal to the forward rate constant (kf) divided by the reverse rate constant (ki).

$Kc=\frac{kf}{ki} =\frac{1.60 \times 10^{2} s^{-1} }{ 9.30 \times 10^{-2} s^{-1}} =1.72 \times 10^{3}$
