Answer:

0.887

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the law of mass action for the first reaction turns out:

Kc=\frac{[AsH_3]^2}{[As]^2[H_2] ^3}=1.27

Now, for the second reaction is:

Kc=\frac{[As][H_2] ^{3/2}}{[AsH_3]}

Therefore, by applying square root for the first reaction, one obtains:

\sqrt{Kc} =\sqrt{\frac{[AsH_3]^2}{[As]^2[H_2] ^3}} =\sqrt{1.27}

\frac{\sqrt{[AsH_3]^2} }{\sqrt{[As]^2} \sqrt{[H_2] ^3} } =\sqrt{1.27}

\sqrt{1.27}=\frac{[AsH_3]}{[As][H_2] ^{3/2}}

Finally, since Kc is asked for the inverse reaction, one modifies the previous equation as:

Kc'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1.27} }=\frac{[As][H_2] ^{3/2}}{[AsH_3]}=0.887

Best regards.

♔♔Can water stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius?✞♡♡♡​
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Yes, water can stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius. There are a few ways in which this can happen. The freezing point of water drops below zero degrees Celsius as you apply pressure. When we apply pressure to a liquid, we force the molecules to get closer together.

Explanation:

Hope this helps you. Have a nice day.^_^

Please mark as brainliest. It helps a lot:)

The Earth's mantle is
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

C. cooler than both the crust and the core

Explanation:

It is observed that at the mantle, temperatures range from estimatedly 200 °C (392 °F) around the upper boundary with the crust to approximately 4,000 °C (7,230 °F) at the core-mantle boundary.

So we can say the mantle is cooler than both the crust and the core.

The picture shows a contractile vacuole of a unicellular freshwater organism. The contractile vacuole regulates the flow of wate
yuradex [85]

Answer:

A.The concentration of water is greater outside the cell than inside the cell.

Explanation:

The contractile vacuole of certain organisms functions to regulate water flow in and out of the cell. It does this by storing excess water that comes into the cell. In the case of this organism with a filled up contractile vacuole, it means water is flowing into the cell.

Naturally, water will flow into a living cell when an osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concemtration, has been created between intracellular and extracellular solutions. Osmosis involves movement of substances from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. This means that if water is flowing into the cell, which is stored by the contractile vacuole, the concentration of water must be greater outside the cell than inside.

Which of the following compounds are held together by ionic bonds? Water, salt, sugar, carbon dioxide
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Salt.

Explanation:

Salt=NaCl

Ionic bonds are made when the two elements are from different sides of the periodic table. On the left, we have our metals. On the right, we have our nonmetals. Sodium is a metal and Chlorine is a gas. Water, sugar, and carbon dioxide are covalent bonds because all the elements are from the right side of the periodic table. Hydrogen is a nonmetal too.

Be sure to answer all parts. Sulfur dioxide is released in the combustion of coal. Scrubbers use lime slurries of calcium hydrox
scoray [572]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below and \Delta S^o for the reaction is -160.6 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

When calcium hydroxide reacts with sulfur dioxide, it leads to the formation of calcium sulfate and water molecule.

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and sulfur dioxide follows:

Ca(OH)_2(s)+SO_2(g)\rightarrow CaSO_3(s)+H_2O(l)

To calculate the entropy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta S^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{products}]-\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{reactants}]

For the given reaction:

\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta S^o_{CaSO_3(s)})+(1\times \Delta S^o_{H_2O(l)})]-[(1\times \Delta S^o_{Ca(OH)_2(s)})+(1\times \Delta S^o_{SO_2(g)})]

Taking the standard entropy change values:

\Delta S^o_{CaSO_3(s)}=101.4Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}\\\Delta S^o_{H_2O(l)}=69.9Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}\\\Delta S^o_{Ca(OH)_2(s)}=83.4Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}\\\Delta S^o_{SO_2(g)}=248.5Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (101.4))+(1\times (69.9))]-[(1\times (83.4))+(1\times (248.5))]\\\\\Delta S^o_{rxn}=-160.6J/K

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above and \Delta S^o for the reaction is -160.6 J/K
