Answer:

Ionic bonding occurs between atoms that have opposite needs for electrons (metals and nonmetals) and results in a transfer of electrons. Covalent bonding occurs between atoms that have similar needs for electrons (two nonmetals) and results in a sharing of electrons.

Consider the half reactions below for a chemical reaction.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

Option A:

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)

Explanation:

The half reactions given are:

Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s)

From the given half reactions, we can see that in the first one, Zn undergoes oxidation to produce Zn^(2+).

While in the second half reaction, Cu^(2+) is reduced to Cu.

Thus, for the overall reaction, we will add both half reactions to get;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

2e^(-) will cancel out to give us;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)

A sample of gas contains 0.1500 mol of HCl(g) and 7.500×10-2 mol of Br2(g) and occupies a volume of 9.63 L. The following reacti

Furkat [3]

Answer:

9.63 L.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

$2HCl(g) + Br_2(g)\rightarrow 2HBr(g) + Cl_2(g)$

So the consumed amounts of hydrochloric acid and bromine are the same to the beginning based on:

$n_{Br_2}^{consumed}=0.1500molHCl*\frac{1molBr_2}{2molHCl}=0.075molBr_2$

In such a way, the yielded moles of hydrobromic acid and chlorine are:

$n_{HBr}=0.1500molHCl*\frac{2molHBr}{2molHCl}=0.1500molHBr \\n_{Cl_2}=0.1500molHCl*\frac{1molCl_2}{2molHCl}=0.075molCl_2$

Thus, the volume of the sample, after the reaction is the same as no change in the total moles is evidenced, that is 9.63L.

Best regards.

The equilibrium 2NO(g)+Cl2(g)⇌2NOCl(g) is established at 500 K. An equilibrium mixture of the three gases has partial pressures

QveST [7]

Answer:

For A: The $K_p$ for the given reaction is $4.0\times 10^1$

For B: The $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1642.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction follows:

$2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g)$

For A:

The expression of $K_p$ for the above reaction follows:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{NOCl})^2}{(p_{NO})^2\times p_{Cl_2}}$

We are given:

$p_{NOCl}=0.24 atm\\p_{NO}=9.10\times 10^{-2}atm=0.0910atm\\p_{Cl_2}=0.174atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{(0.24)^2}{(0.0910)^2\times 0.174}\\\\K_p=4.0\times 10^1$

Hence, the $K_p$ for the given reaction is $4.0\times 10^1$

For B:

Relation of $K_p$ with $K_c$ is given by the formula:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}$

where,

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = $4.0\times 10^1$

$K_c$ = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature = 500 K

$\Delta ng$ = change in number of moles of gas particles = $n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-3=-1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.0\times 10^1=K_c\times (0.0821\times 500)^{-1}\\\\K_c=\frac{4.0\times 10^1}{(0.0821\times 500)^{-1})}=1642$

Hence, the $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1642.
