What is the correct balanced equation for the following equilibrium constant expression?

1 answer:

8 0

The correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇄ 2CO(g) + O2(g)

this is the correct one because it is a decomposition reaction and all the number of atoms is equal on both sides.

there are 2 C atoms on both sides.

and 4 O atoms on both sides.

and 1) the atoms numbers are equal on both sides but not correct as it not a

correct number as it has 1/2 O2.

and 2) CO2(g) ⇆ CO(g) + O2

the number of O atoms is not equal on both sides of the equation.

we have 2 O atoms on the left side and 3 O atoms on the right side.

so, this not a balanced equation.

4) also not correct 2CO(g) + O2 ⇆ 2CO2

as it is not a decomposition reaction and the 2CO & O2 are as reactants not products.

so the correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇆ 2CO(g) + O2(g)

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Maru [420]

Answer :

(a) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (+1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-3) and $1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation :

For the neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. But, they are unequal when the atoms present in the form of ions or the atom has some charges.

When an unequal number of electrons and protons then it leads to the formation of ionic species.

Ion : An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.

When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

(a) The given element is, Rb (Rubidium)

As we know that the rubidium element belongs to group 1 and the atomic number is, 37

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^1$

This element will easily loose 1 electron and form $Rb^+$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Rb ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The given element is, N (Nitrogen)

As we know that the nitrogen element belongs to group 15 and the atomic number is, 7

The ground-state electron configuration of N is:

$1s^22s^22p^3$

This element will easily gain 3 electrons and form $N^{3-}$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of N ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The given element is, Br (Bromine)

As we know that the bromine element belongs to group 17 and the atomic number is, 35

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5$

This element will easily gain 1 electron and form $Br^-$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Br ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Draw the Lewis structure for the Se and 2 H atoms.

fomenos

When drawing lewis dot diagram structure we consider the number of valence electrons of the atom.Se has six valence electrons since it is in group six thus it Lewis dot diagram is as follows
..
: Se:
Hydrogen is in group one hence has one valence electron.The lewis dot diagram for 2H is therefore
H:H
