A chemical formula is a way of expressing information about the proportions of atoms that constitute a particularchemical compound, using a single line of chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas and plus (+) and minus (−) signs. A chemical formula is not a chemical name showing how the atoms are arranged.

Consider the reaction: N2(g) 2 O2(g)N2O4(g) Write the equilibrium constant for this reaction in terms of the equilibrium constan

Valentin [98]

Answer : The equilibrium constant for this reaction is, $K=\frac{(K_b)^2}{K_a}$

Explanation :

The given main chemical reaction is:

$N_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow N_2O_4(g)$ ; $K$

The intermediate reactions are:

(1) $N_2O_4(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$ ; $K_a$

(2) $\frac{1}{2}N_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow NO_2(g)$ ; $K_b$

We are reversing reaction 1 and multiplying reaction 2 by 2 and then adding both reaction, we get:

(1) $2NO_2(g)\rightarrow N_2O_4(g)$ ; $\frac{1}{K_a}$

(2) $N_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$ ; $(K_b)^2$

Thus, the equilibrium constant for this reaction will be:

$K=\frac{1}{K_a}\times (K_b)^2$

$K=\frac{(K_b)^2}{K_a}$

Thus, the equilibrium constant for this reaction is, $K=\frac{(K_b)^2}{K_a}$

HCI+CaCO3=CaCl2+H2O+CO2

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2 HCl + CaCO3 = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

Explanation:

On the right side we have 2xCl, to get the same amount we will multiply HCl on the left side by 2.

This will give us 2xH on the left side; we also have 2xH on the right side ( in H2O).

On both sides we have 1x Ca; 1x C.

On the left side we have 3XO (in CaCO3), on the right side we have 1O in H20 and 2xO in CO2, so 3x O on the right side as well.

The reaction is balanced.

Which atom would tend to gain 1 valence electrons from another atom in order to become stable

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to attain stability it tends to gain one electron from a donor atom. Therefore, a chlorine ion is formed as $Cl^{-1}$ .

As it gains only one electron that is why, -1 charge occurs.

Whereas Ar is a noble gas with atomic number 18. As it has completely filled octet so it will be unreactive in nature as it is already stable.

Similarly, He is also a noble gas so it is unreactive in nature.

Atomic number of boron (B) is 5 with electronic distribution 2, 3. So, in order to attain stability it needs to lose 3 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that Cl is the atom which tends to gain 1 valence electron from another atom in order to become stable.
