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

Calculate the value of [CH3OH][CO][H2]2 when all concentrations are 2.4. Keep in mind that the reaction may not be at equilibriu
NikAS [45]

Explanation:

The given reaction will be as follows.

            CO + 2H_{2} \leftrightharpoons CH_{3}OH

So, equilibrium constant for this equation will be as follows.

              K_{c} = \frac{[CH_{3}OH]}{[CO][H_{2}]^{2}}

As it is given that concentration of all the species is 2.4. Therefore, calculate the value of equilibrium constant as follows.

               K_{c} = \frac{[CH_{3}OH]}{[CO][H_{2}]^{2}}

                       = \frac{2.4}{2.4 \times (2.4)^{2}}

                       = 0.173

Thus, we can conclude that equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 0.173.

Triglycerides, fatty acids and glycerol differ with respect to polarity, H-bonds, and functional groups. Discuss the differences
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Triglycerides are actually fats made from condensation of fatty acids and glycerol, and used in making soap because it readily reacts caustic alkali and precipitates soap molcules while glycerol is the produced alongside

Explanation:

Triglycerides are made when 3 molecules of fatty acids condenses with one molecule of glycerol having 3-sites of OH where the condensation takes place with the COOH functional group in the fatty acids and 3 molecules of water
