Answer:

The identity of unknown substance is Barium.

Explanation:

The given compound has a formula of MCl2. And the percentage of chlorine in this compound is said to be 34.1 %. But, we know that the mass of chlorine in this compound is, 35.5*2 = 71 g

Therefore, if we let x be the total mass of the compound, then:

34.1% of x = 71 g

(0.341)x = 71 g

x = 71 g/0.341

x = 208.2 g

Hence, the mass of other atom M, must be:

M = x - 71 g

M = 208.2 g - 71 g

M = 137.2 g

Now, we look into periodic table in group II. We find that the element is Barium with atomic mass of 137 g.

<u>The identity of unknown substance is Barium.</u>

For the reaction: CH₃OH(g) + heat ↔ CO(g) + 2H₂(g) How will the equilibrium shift if the overall pressure is decreased?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

To the right

Explanation:

CH₃OH(g) + heat <=> CO(g) + 2H₂(g)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, a decrease in pressure will shift the equilibrium position to the side where there is a higher volume.

From the balanced equation above,

Volume of reactant = 1

Volume of product = 1 + 2 = 3

From the above, we can see that the volume of the gasous product is higher than the volume of the gasous reactant.

Therefore, a decrease in the pressure of the system will shift the equilibrium position to the right.
