The carbon cycle has several sources including all of the following except:

If Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before any reaction occurs?

Fiesta28 [93]

The given sentence is part of a longer question.

I found this question with the same sentence. So, I will help you using this question:

For the reaction N2O4(g) ⇄ 2NO2(g), a reaction mixture at a certain temperature initially contains both N2O4 and NO2 in their standard states (meaning they are gases with a pressure of 1 atm). If Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before any reaction occurs?

(a) Q = K; The reaction is at equilibrium.
(b) Q < K; The reaction will proceed to the right.
(c) Q > K; The reaction will proceed to the left.

The answer is the option (c) Q > K; The reaction will proceed to the left, since Qp = 1, and 1 > 0.15.
Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant in term of the partial pressures of the gases.

Q is the reaction quotient. It is a measure of the progress of a chemical reaction.

The reaction quotient has the same form of the equilibrium constant but using the concentrations or partial pressures at any moment.

At equilibrium both Kp and Q are equal. Q = Kp

If Q < Kp then the reaction will go to the right (forward reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium,

If Q > Kp then the reaction will go to the left (reverse reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium.

Here, the state is that both pressures are 1 atm, so Q = (1)^2 / 1 = 1.

Since, Q = 1 and Kp = 0.15, Q > Kp and the reaction will proceed to the left.

Magnesium chloride is a salt formed with ionic bonds between one magnesium ion and two chloride ions. Magnesium has two electron

katrin [286]

Answer:

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).

The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.

The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.

The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

In the gaseous state, chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule Cl2 (Molar mass = 70.9 g/mol). Calculate the number of moles of chl

Annette [7]

Answer:

3.67 mol Cl

Explanation:

We need to convert g of Cl 2 to moles of Cl. First we divide 130 gCl2 by the molar mass (70.90 gCl2/mol) to find out how many moles of Cl2 do we have.

130 gCl2 x $\frac{1 mol Cl2 }{70.90 gCl2}$ = 1.83 mol Cl2

Then we need to convert 1.83 mol de Cl2 to moles of Cl. We have 2 moles of Cl in every Cl2 molecule so we just need to multiply by 2.

1.83 molCl2 x $\frac{2 molCl}{1 molCl2}$ = 3.67 molCl
