3 0

Carbon, Lead and Silicon all have the same amount of valence electrons as Germanium. This can be determined by looking at their position on the periodic table. Within each column (group) all the elements have the same amount of valence electrons. This explains why they will all have very similar chemical properties.

Why would heating up the human body be a bad choice for causing a chemical reaction?

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

The human body has a normal core temperature of around 37°C to 38°C.

Now, if it is heated up to say 39° to 40°C, fatigue will start to set in and the brain begins to tell the muscles to slow down.

If it's now heated to higher temperatures above above 41°C, the body will begin to experience heat exhaustion and therefore will start to shut down.

Due to this process, the body can't even sweat at that stage because blood flow to the skin will stops thereby making the body feel cold and clammy. Thus, chemical processes/reaction in the body will begin to be affected and the cells inside the body will start to deteriorate and thus there is now a huge risk of having multiple organ failure.

Phosgene, COCl2, gained notoriety as a chemical weapon in World War I. Phosgene is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide w

jek_recluse [69]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Phosgene, $COCl_2$ , gained notoriety as a chemical weapon in World War I. Phosgene is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide with chlorine:

$CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)$

The value of $K_c$ for this reaction is 5.79 at 570 K. What are the equilibrium partial pressures of the three gases if a reaction vessel initially contains a mixture of the reactants in which $p_{CO}=p_{Cl_2}=0.265atm$ and $p_{COCl_2}=0.000atm$ ?

Answer: The equilibrium partial pressure of CO, $Cl_2\text{ and }COCl_2$ is 0.257 atm, 0.257 atm and 0.008 atm respectively.

Explanation:

The relation of $K_c\text{ and }K_p$ is given by:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta n_g}$

$K_p$ = Equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure

$K_c$ = Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = 5.79

$\Delta n_g$ = Difference between gaseous moles on product side and reactant side = $n_{g,p}-n_{g,r}=1-2=-1$

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature = 570 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=5.79\times (0.0821\times 570)^{-1}\\\\K_p=0.124$

We are given:

Initial partial pressure of CO = 0.265 atm

Initial partial pressure of chlorine gas = 0.265 atm

Initial partial pressure of phosgene = 0.00 atm

The given chemical equation follows:

$CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)$

Initial: 0.265 0.265

At eqllm: 0.265-x 0.265-x x

The expression of $K_p$ for above equation follows:

$K_p=\frac{p_{COCl_2}}{p_{CO}\times p_{Cl_2}}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.124=\frac{x}{(0.265-x)\times (0.265-x)}\\\\x=0.0082,8.59$

Neglecting the value of x = 8.59 because equilibrium partial pressure cannot be greater than initial pressure

So, the equilibrium partial pressure of CO = $(0.265-x)=(0.265-0.008)=0.257atm$

The equilibrium partial pressure of $Cl_2=(0.265-x)=(0.265-0.008)=0.257atm$

The equilibrium partial pressure of $COCl_2=x=0.008atm$

Hence, the equilibrium partial pressure of CO, $Cl_2\text{ and }COCl_2$ is 0.257 atm, 0.257 atm and 0.008 atm respectively.

The United States was successful in containing communism in what country? Vietnam

Sloan [31]

Answer:

North Korea (The Korean War).

Explanation:

When Korea was liberated from Japanese control at the end of the Second World War, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed temporarily to divide Korea at the 38th parallel of latitude north of the equator. This division resulted in the formation of two countries: communist North Korea (supported by the Soviets) and South Korea (supported by the United States).
