Answer :The correct order for equilibrium constant = K₁ > K₂ >K₃

Ethene is an alkene and X2 is elemental halogen . The reaction between alkene and halogen is known as Halogenation reaction . This reaction involves electrophilic addition mechanism . In this reaction elemental halogen (X₂ ) produces a elctrophile , X⁺ . This electrophile is attracted by the double bond in alkene and attached to it .

Due to addition of electrophile , it produces carbocation intermediate .On this positive carbon , nucleophile attacks , hence , a resultant 1,2-di halide alkane is produced .( in image )

The reaction between ethene ( C₂H₄) and halogen ( X₂) produces 1,2 - dihalide ethane (C₂H₄X₂) . The image shows reaction between chlorine ,Cl₂ , a halogen (X₂) .

The expression for equilibrium constant of reaction between ethene and halogen is given as:

K = \frac{product}{reactant }

Product = C₂H₄X₂ Reactants = C₂H₄ and X₂

K = \frac{[C_2H_4X_2]}{[C_2H_4] [X_2]}

On applying this concept in figures :

Given : Green = Cl₂ Brown = Br₂ Purple = I₂ Grey = Ethene

Grey + Green = 1,2- dihalide ethane

a) Number of Cl₂(green ) = 2

number of ethane ( grey ) = 2

Number of 1,2-dichloride alkane( grey + green ) = 8

Plugging these number in equilibrium constant expression :

K_1 = \frac{8}{2 * 2 } =  \frac{8}{4} = 2

Hence K₁ for ethene + chlorine = 2

b) Number of Br₂(brown ) = 4

number of ethane ( grey ) = 4

Number of 1,2-dibromide alkane( grey + brown ) = 6

On plugging these values in K expression as :

K_2= \frac{6 }{4 * 4 } = \frac{6}{16} =   0.375

Hence K₂ for ethen + Bromine = 0.375

c) Number of I₂(purple ) = 7

number of ethane ( grey ) = 7

Number of 1,2-diiodide alkane( grey + purple ) = 3

On plugging values in K expression as:

K_3 = \frac{3}{7 * 7 } = \frac{3}{49}   =  0.0612

Hence K₃ for ethene + Iodine = 0.0612

So , the order of equilibrium constant (K) from largest to smallest :

K₃ = 0.0612 K₂ = 0.375 K₁= 2

K₁ > K₂ >K₃

Directions: Use the words in the word box to complete the following sentences.
NeX [460]

Explanation:

When the forces acting on an object are balanced , there is no change in the object's motion.

A force acting on a resting object can cause the object to move.

On Earth, gravity pulls all objects toward the ground.

When a force acts in the opposite direction of another force, the forces counteract each other.

More than one force acting on a falling object can reduce its downward acceleration

Air resistance is caused by molecules of air pushing against a moving object

The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.

Explanation:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.  

Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
