4.80 mol of solid A was placed in a sealed 1.00-L container and allowed to decompose into gaseous B and C. The concentration of

B steadily increased until it reached 1.30 M, where it remained constant.
A(s) <===> B(g) + C(g)
Then, the container volume was doubled and equilibrium was re-established. How many moles of A remain?

Answer:

A = 3.5 moles

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need first to write the innitial conditions. The reaction is as follow:

A(s) <-------> B(g) + C(g)

From here, we can write an expression for the equilibrium constant which is:

Kc = [B]*[C]

We don't take A in the expression, because is solid, and solid and liquids do not contribute in the equilibrium.

We know the concentration of B, which is the same for C, because the moles of C are coming from A when it's decomposed, so if B is 1.3 M we can assume C is the same.

Kc for this innitial condition is:

Kc = (1.3)*(1.3) = 1.69

Now, in the second part of reaction the volume is doubled, which means that concentrations are halved:

A: 4.8/2 = 2.4 M

B and C: 1.3/2 = 0.65 M

So conditions for the second part will be like this:

   A(s) <----> B(g) + C(g)   Kc = 1.69

I:   2.4           0.65   0.65

C:  -x              +x       +x

E: 2.4-x         0.65+x   0.65+x

Replacing in Kc we have:

1.69 = (0.65+x)²   solving for x here

√1.69 = 0.65+x

1.3 = 0.65+x

x = 1.3 - 0.65

x = 0.65 M

Therefore, the remaining moles of A would be:

A = 2.4 - 0.65

[A] = 1.75 M

moles A = 1.75 * 2 = 3.5 moles

A 0.652-g sample of a pure strontium halide reacts with excess sulfuric acid. the solid strontium sulfate formed is separated, d
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The formula of the original halide is SrCl₂.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of this reaction is:

SrX₂ + H₂SO₄ → SrSO₄ + 2 HX, where X is the halide.

  • From the equation stichiometry, 1.0 mole of strontium halide will result in 1.0 mole of SrSO₄.
  • The number of moles of SrSO₄ <em>(n = mass/molar mass) </em>= (0.755 g) / (183.68 g/mole) = 4.11 x 10⁻³ mole.
  • The number of moles of SrX are  4.11 x 10⁻³ moles from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.
  • n = mass / molar mass, n =  4.11 x 10⁻³ moles and mass = 0.652 g.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ = mass / n = (0.652) / (4.11 x 10⁻³ moles) = 158.62 g/mole.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ (158.62 g/mole) = Atomic mass of Sr (87.62 g/mole) + (2 x Atomic mass of halide X).
  • The atomic mass of halide X = (158.62 g/mole) - (87.62 g/mole) / 2 = 71 / 2  g/mole = 35.5 g/mole.
  • This is the atomic mass of Cl.
  • <em>So, the formula of the original halide is SrCl₂</em>.

PLEASE HELP! NO LINKS! CHEMISTRY!
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Solution A is 1,000 times more acidic than Sol. B

Explanation:

for pH values we use scientific notation:

-log10 c (where c is the hydrogen ion concentration) is used to notate pH value (think of it as a unit)

ie:

10^-2 is sol A 10^-5 is sol B

5-2 is 3

10^-3 = 1000

there's a diff of 1,000 between the solutions.

What is an ion? What are the two ways in which an ion can be made?
denpristay [2]
Answer: Ions are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from, neutral atoms or molecules or other ions; by combination of ions with other particles; or by rupture of a covalent bond between two atoms in such a way that both of the electrons of the bond are left in association with one of the ...

Consider a balloon with volume V. It contains n moles of gas and has an internal pressure of P. The temperature of the gas is T.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.6 V.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n is constant, and have different values of P, V and T:

<em>(P₁V₁T₂) = (P₂V₂T₁).</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = V, P₁ = P, T₁ = T.

V₂ = ??? V, ​P₂ = 1.25 P, T₂ = 0.75 T.

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁) =</em> (P)(V)(0.75 T)/(1.25 P)(T)<em> = 0.6 V.</em>
