Why do we use the term formula unit for ionic compounds instead of the term molecule?

1 answer:

3 0

Ionic compounds form crystal lattices, not molecules. The term formula unit is used to indicate the simplest whole-number ratio of ions in the compound.

Answer: The number of moles of HI in the solution is $1.24\times 10{-3}$ moles.

Explanation:

We are given:

$K_c=7.00\times 10^{-5}\\n_{NH_3}=0.405mol\\n_{NH_4I}=1.45mol\\V=4.90L$

To calculate the concentration of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ ......(1)

Concentration of ammonia:

$[NH_3]=\frac{0.405mol}{4.90L}=0.083mol/L$

Concentration of ammonium iodide:

$[NH_4I]=\frac{1.45mol}{4.90L}=0.30mol/L$

For the given chemical reaction:

$NH_4I(s)\rightleftharpoons NH_3(g)+HI(g)$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[HI][NH_3]}{[NH_4I]}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$7.0\times 10^{-5}=\frac{[HI]\times 0.083}{0.30}$

$[HI]=2.53\times 10^{-4}$

Calculating the moles of hydrogen iodide by using equation 1, we get:

$2.53\times 10^{-5}=\frac{\text{Moles of HI}}{4.9}\\\\\text{Moles of HI}=1.24\times 10^{-3}$

Hence, the number of moles of HI in the solution is $1.24\times 10{-3}$ moles.

Answer:

The equation that gives the overall equilibrium in terms of the equilibrium constants K and Ky is K1 = K^6 * Ky

Explanation:

we have the following balanced reaction:

CaC2 + 2H2O = C2H2 + Ca(OH)2

the value of K for this reaction will be equal to:

K = ([C2H2] * [Ca(OH)2])/([CaC2] * [H2O]^2)

if we multiply the reaction by the value of 6, we have:

6CaC2 + 12H2O = 6C2H2 + 6Ca(OH)2

Again, the value of K for this reaction will be equal to:

K,´ = ([C2H2] ^6 * [Ca(OH)2]^6)/([CaC2]^6 * [H2O]^12) = K^6

For the second reaction:

6C2H2 + 3CO2 + 4H2O = 5CH2CHCO2H

The value of K for this reaction:

K2 = ([CH2CHCO2H]^5)/([C2H2]^6 * [CO2]^3 * [H2O]^4)

we also have:

K1 = ([CH2CHCO2H]^5)/([C2H2]^6 * [CO2]^3 * [H2O]^16)

Thus:

K1 = K^6 * Ky
