W(Cl)=0.3877
w(O)=0.6123
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol
M(O)=16.0 g/mol

ClₐOₓ
M(ClₐOₓ)=35.5a+16.0x

w(Cl)=35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)
w(O)=16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)

solve a system of two equations with two unknowns
35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.3877
16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.6123

a=2
x=7

What is △n for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

-1  

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant , 0.082057 L atm.mol⁻¹K⁻¹

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

2Na_{(s)}+2H_2O_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons 2NaOH_{(aq)}+2H_2_{(g)}

<u>Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)  = (2+1)-(2+2) = -1  </u>

Gather data: On the CONTROLS pane, set the Reactant concentration to 2.0 mol/L, the Surface area to Maximum, and the Temperature
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can use the Arrhenius equation to relate the activation energy and the rate constant, k, of a given reaction:

k=Ae−Ea/RT

In this equation, R is the ideal gas constant, which has a value 8.314 J/mol/K, T is temperature on the Kelvin scale, Ea is the activation energy in joules per mole, e is the constant 2.7183, and A is a constant called the frequency factor, which is related to the frequency of collisions and the orientation of the reacting molecules.

Both postulates of the collision theory of reaction rates are accommodated in the Arrhenius equation. The frequency factor A is related to the rate at which collisions having the correct orientation occur. The exponential term,

e−Ea/RT, is related to the fraction of collisions providing adequate energy to overcome the activation barrier of the reaction.
