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

Definition of proton and example
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

An elementary particle that is identical with the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, that along with the neutron is a constituent of all other atomic nuclei, that carries a positive charge numerically equal to the charge of an electron.

Example:

The nucleus of a hydrogen atom or the H+ ion is an example of a proton. Regardless of the isotope, each atom of hydrogen has 1 proton; each helium atom contains 2 protons; each lithium atom contains 3 protons and so on.

After undergoing alpha decay, an atom of radium-226 becomes
Zanzabum
The answer is b. radon-222. The alpha decay means that it will emit an alpha particle when decays. The alpha particle has two protons and two neutrons. So Radium(88) minus two protons will become Radon(86). And the atomic mass will become 226-4=222.

27. Sample of neon gas has a pressure of 4.1 atm and argon gas with a pressure of 3.2 atm are added to a
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Option C. 13.5 atm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Pressure of Neon (Pₙₑ) = 4.1 atm

Pressure of Argon (Pₐᵣ) = 3.2 atm

Pressure of nitrogen (Pₙ₂) = 6.2 atm

Total pressure (Pₜ) =?

The total pressure in the container can be obtained by adding the pressure of the individual gases. This is illustrated below:

Pₜ = Pₙₑ + Pₐᵣ + Pₙ₂

Pₜ = 4.1 + 3.2 + 6.2

Pₜ = 13.5 atm

Therefore, the total pressure in the container is 13.5 atm
