The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction below is 0.00584 at a certain temperature. Br2(g) ⇌ 2Br(g) If the initial concentra

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

Br2(g) ⇌ 2Br(g)

Initially 0.0345M 0.0416M

$Q_C = \dfrac{[Br]^2}{[Br_2]} = \dfrac{(0.0416)^2}{(0.0345)}= 0.05016$

$Q_C =0.05016 >>> K_c(0.00584)$

Thus, the given reaction will proceed in the backward direction

The I.C.E table is as follows:

Br2(g) ⇌ 2Br(g)

I 0.0345 0.0416

C +x -2x

E (0.0345+x) (0.0416 -2x)

$K_c = \dfrac{[Br]^2}{[Br_2]} = \dfrac{(0.0416-2x)^2}{(0.0345+x)} = 0.00584$

= 0.00173056 - 0.0832x - 0.0832x + 4x² = 0.00584 (0.0345 +x)

= 0.00173056 - 0.166x + 4x² = 2.0148× 10⁻⁴ + 0.00584x

= 0.00173056 - 2.0148× 10⁻⁴ - 0.166x - 0.00584x + 4x²

= 0.00152908 - 0.17184x + 4x²

Solving by using Quadratic formula

x = 0.03038 or 0.0126

For x = 0.03038

At equilibrium

[Br₂] = (0.0345 + 0.03038) = 0.06488 M

[Br] = (0.0416 -2(0.03038)) = - 0.01916 M

Since we have a negative value for [Br], we discard the value for x

For x = 0.0126

At equilibrium

[Br₂] = (0.0345 + 0.0126) = 0.0471 M

[Br] = (0.0416 -2(0.0126)) = 0.0164 M

Describe how the size of the sun compares to the sizes of the other stars.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The sun's circumference is about 2,713,406 miles (4,366,813 km). It may be the biggest thing in this neighborhood, but the sun is just average compared to other stars. Betelgeuse, a red giant, is about 700 times bigger than the sun and about 14,000 times brighter.

How many protons are there in 20.02 mol of neon (ne)?

hodyreva [135]

In order to determine the number of protons in 20.02 mol of Ne, we use Avogadro's number to convert the number of moles to number of atoms, 1 mol = 6.022 x 10^23 atoms. From there, we must know the number of protons in a Neon atom, which is 10. Thus, the formula will be:

(20.02 mol Ne)x(6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol)x(10 protons/1 atom Ne) =
1.2056 x 10^26 protons
