Chemical equations are to be balanced to be able to follow the law of conservation of mass where it says that mass cannot be created or destroyed. Reactions should be that the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products.

For the equilibrium
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Equilibrium concentrations of the gases are

H_2S=0.596M

H_2=0.004 M

S_2=0.002 M

Explanation:

We are given that  for the equilibrium

2H_2S\rightleftharpoons 2H_2(g)+S_2(g)

k_c=9.0\times 10^{-8}

Temperature, T=700^{\circ}C

Initial concentration of

H_2S=0.30M

H_2=0.30 M

S_2=0.150 M

We have to find the equilibrium concentration of gases.

After certain time

2x number of moles  of reactant reduced and form product

Concentration of

H_2S=0.30+2x

H_2=0.30-2x

S_2=0.150-x

At equilibrium

Equilibrium constant

K_c=\frac{product}{Reactant}=\frac{[H_2]^2[S_2]}{[H_2S]^2}

Substitute the values

9\times 10^{-8}=\frac{(0.30-2x)^2(0.150-x)}{(0.30+2x)^2}

9\times 10^{-8}=\frac{(0.30-2x)^2(0.150-x)}{(0.30+2x)^2}

9\times 10^{-8}=\frac{(0.30-2x)^2(0.150-x)}{(0.30+2x)^2}

By solving we get

x\approx 0.148

Now, equilibrium concentration  of gases

H_2S=0.30+2(0.148)=0.596M

H_2=0.30-2(0.148)=0.004 M

S_2=0.150-0.148=0.002 M

Does data from mass spectrometry indicate that modern scientists have made modifications to Dalton''s model? Justify.
Gelneren [198K]
John Dalton was a scientist who proposed that all matter consists of atoms. At this stage, no one had yet discovered neutrons and the nucleus. As a result, Dalton's model consisted of a single atom i.e. the atom was the smallest object. 
A mass spectrometer is an instrument that is able to see what is inside an atom. Scientists have been able to prove that the item is not the smallest object in the world. Atoms are made up of smaller objects called protons, neutrons and electrons. 
We can, therefore, safely conclude that data  from mass spectrometry has helped modern scientists to make modifications to Dalton's model. <span>
