Answer:

The correct answer is: K'= 0.033.

Explanation:

The formation of HI from H₂ and I₂ is given by:

H₂ + I₂ → 2 HI      K= 29.9

The decomposition of HI is the reverse reaction of the formation of HI:

2 HI → H₂ + I₂     K'

Thus, K' is the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction of formation of HI. It is calculated as the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant of the forward reaction (K):

K' = 1/K = 1/(29.9)= 0.033

Therefore, the equilibrium constant for the decomposition of HI is K'= 0.033

Is a solution a homogeneous or a heterogeneous mixture? Give an example of an aqueous solution.
zubka84 [21]

Answer and Explanation :

Generally the solutions are homogeneous in nature in a homogeneous mixture the component of the mixture are present in equal proportion in any solution there is two part one which is in larger amount is know as solvent and other part is solute in an aqueous solution as the name suggest the solvent part is always water

Example of aqueous solution is juice , coffee, river water , pond water etc

¿Por qué los gases nobles tienen tendencia a no formar compuesto si como todo elemento de la tabla periódica estos tienen electr
White raven [17]
Noble gases are the least reactive of all elements. That's because they have eight valence electrons, which fill their outer energy level. This is the most stable arrangement of electrons, so noble gases rarely react with other elements and form compounds.

In a beaker a compartment a has 25% glucose solution and compartment b has 5% glu glucose solution. The membrane is permeable to
dem82 [27]

Answer is: osmotic pressure.

The direction of osmotic pressure is always from the side with the lower concentration of solute to the side with the higher concentration, in this example, from solution b (5% glucose) to solution b (25% glucose).

Osmotic pressure, alongside the vapor pressure depression, freezing point depression and the boiling point elevation are the colligative properties od solution.

A piece of ice melts and reacts with Calcium metal to produce calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Identify the type of change/s
Semenov [28]
I think it’s C since the ice changes from solid to a liquid which is physical and then it reacts with calcium metal making the calcium hydroxide which is chemical change. And another sign of it being chemical was the release of gas.
