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

Given an equilibrium constant value of 7.2 x 10-4 it is false to say that the reaction proceeds essentially to completion.

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant?</h3>

In a reaction, we can judge using the value of the equilibrium constant weather or not the reaction moves on to completion. If the reaction moves up to completion, it the follows that the value of the equilibrium constant ought to be large.

On the other hand, when we have a case that the equilibrium constant is small and is not so large, then the reaction does not proceed essentially to completion.

Write balanced nuclear equations for the following:(a) β⁻ decay of silicon-32
S_A_V [24]

The balanced nuclear equations for the following:(a) β⁻ decay of silicon-32 is (27,14)Si -> (0,-1)beta + (27,15)P

<h3>What is balanced nuclear equation?</h3>

A nuclear reaction is generally expressed by a nuclear equation, which has the general form, where T is the target nucleus, B is the bombarding particle, R is the residual product nucleus, and E is the ejected particle, and Ai and Zi (where I = 1, 2, 3, 4) are the mass number and atomic number, respectively. Finding a well balanced equation is critical for understanding nuclear reactions. Balanced nuclear equations provide excellent information about the energy released in nuclear reactions. Balancing the nuclear equation requires equating the total atomic number as well as the total mass number before and after the reaction using the rules of atomic number and mass number conservation in a nuclear reaction.

Cu+2AgNO
baherus [9]

Answer:

Mass of Ag produced = 64.6 g

Note: the question is, how many grams of Ag is produced from 19.0 g of Cu and 125 g of AgNO3

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2

From the equation above, 1 mole of Cu reacts with 2 moles of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag and 1 mole of Cu(NO3)2.

Molar mass of the reactants and products are; Cu = 63.5 g/mol, Ag = 108 g/mol, AgNO3 = 170 g/mol, Cu(NO3)2 = 187.5 g/mol

To determine, the limiting reactant;

63.5 g of Cu reacts with 170 * 2 g of AgNO3,

19 g of Cu will react with (340 * 19)/63.5 g of AgNO3 =101.7 g of AgNO3.

Since there are 125 g of AgNO3 available for reaction, it is in excess and Cu is the limiting reactant.

63.5 g of Cu reacts to produce 108 * 2 g of Ag,

19 g of Cu will react to produce (216 * 19)/63.5 g of Ag = 64.6 g of Ag.

Therefore mass of Ag produced = 64.6g
