The numbers appearing as subscripts indicate the number of atoms of the element immediately before the subscript. So when you see H2O, you know there are two hydrogens because a two follows the H.

2 HI(g) ⇄ H2(g) + I2(g) Kc = 0.0156 at 400ºC 0.550 moles of HI are placed in a 2.00 L container and the system is allowed to rea
Alex_Xolod [135]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles of HI = 0.550 moles

Volume of container = 2.00 L

\text{Initial concentration of HI}=\frac{0.550}{2}=0.275M

For the given chemical equation:

                          2HI(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+I_2(g)

<u>Initial:</u>                  0.275

<u>At eqllm:</u>           0.275-2x      x         x

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[H_2][I_2]}{[HI]^2}

We are given:

K_c=0.0156

Putting values in above expression, we get:

0.0156=\frac{x\times x}{(0.275-2x)^2}\\\\x=-0.0458,0.0275

Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative

So, equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas = x = 0.0275 M

Hence, the concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M

What is the proper way of collection, preservation and transition of hair?​
Murrr4er [49]
An investigator can collect hairs they observe visually (with tweezers or by hand), and they can also use clear tape to lift non-visible hair from a variety of surfaces, such as clothing. Other methods of hair sample collection include combing and clipping methods.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

2H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

H₂ + O₂       →     H₂O

Balance chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Step 1:

H₂ + O₂       →     H₂O

Left hand side                     Right hand side

H = 2                                    H = 2

O = 2                                    O = 1

Step 2:

H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Left hand side                     Right hand side

H = 2                                    H = 4

O = 2                                    O = 2

Step 3:

2H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Left hand side                     Right hand side

H = 4                                    H = 4

O = 2                                    O = 2

What is the correct balanced equation for the reaction of sodium with water?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

 A.    2Na       +    2H₂O   →    2NaOH   +  H₂  

Explanation:

When sodium is reacted with water, a single replacement reaction occurs. The product of the reaction is typically sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Reactants:

        Sodium +  water

Product:

        Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen gas

So;

         2Na       +    2H₂O   →    2NaOH   +  H₂
