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<span>(g) ⇄ 2NO</span>2(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<span>).  If </span>Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before any reaction occurs?


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

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

33.56 g of fructose (C6H,206) and 18.88 g of water are mixed to obtain a 40.00 ml solution a. What is this solution's density? b
Darina [25.2K]

Explanation:

Mass of fructose = 33.56 g

Mass of water =  18.88  g

Total mass of the solution =  Mass of fructose + Mass of water = M

M = 33.56 g + 18.88  g =52.44 g

Volume of the solution = V = 40.00 mL

Density =\frac{Mass}{Volume}

a) Density of the solution:

\frac{M}{V}=\frac{52.44 g}{40.00 mL}=1.311 g/mL

b) Molar mass of fructose = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of fructose = n_1=\frac{ 33.56 g}{180.16 g/mol}=0.1863 mol

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Moles of water= n_2=\frac{ 18.88 g}{18.02 g/mol}=1.0477 mol

Mole fraction of fructose in this solution:\chi_1

\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{0.1863 mol}{0.1863 mol+1.0477 mol}

\chi_1=0.1510

Mole fraction of water = \chi_2=1-\chi_1=0.8490

c) Average molar mass of of the solution:

=\chi_1\times 180.16 g/mol+\chi_2\times 18.02 g/mol

=0.1510\times 180.16 g/mol+0.8490\times 18.02 g/mol=42.50 g/mol

d) Mass of 1 mole of solution = 42.50 g/mol

Density of the solution = 1.311 g/mL

d) Specific molar volume of the solution:

\frac{\text{Average molar mass}}{\text{Density of the mass}}

=\frac{42.50 g/mol}{1.311 g/mL}=32.42 mL/mol
