When silver nitrate is added to the Fe/SCN equilibrium, why is the colorless intense and a precipitate forms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Reptile [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

You have an equilibrium reaction between Fe³⁺/ SCN⁻ and FeSCN²⁺.

\underbrace{\hbox{Fe$^{3+}$}}_{\text{pale yellow-green}} +\underbrace{\hbox{SCN$^{-}$}}_{\text{colourless}} \, \rightleftharpoons \, \underbrace{\hbox{Fe(SCN)$^{2+}$}}_{\text{deep blood red}} \\

When you add AgNO₃, the Ag⁺ reacts with the SCN⁻. It forms a colourless precipitate of Ag(SCN).

Ag⁺(aq) + SCN⁻(aq) ⟶ AcSCN(s)

According to Le Châtelier's Principle, when we apply a stress to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in a way that tends to relieve the stress.

If you add Ag⁺ to the equilibrium solution, it removes the SCN⁻ [as an Ag(SCN) precipitate].

The system responds by trying to replace the missing SCN⁻:

The Fe(SCN)²⁺ dissociates to form SCN⁻, so the position of equilibrium shifts to the left,

You now have more Fe³⁺ and SCN⁻ and less of the highly coloured Fe(SCN)²⁺ at the new equilibrium.

The deep red colour becomes less intense.

Water's heat of fusion is 80. cal/g , its specific heat is 1.0calg⋅∘C, and its heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g . A canister is
Pani-rosa [81]
<span>294400 cal The heating of the water will have 3 phases 1. Melting of the ice, the temperature will remain constant at 0 degrees C 2. Heating of water to boiling, the temperature will rise 3. Boiling of water, temperature will remain constant at 100 degrees C So, let's see how many cal are needed for each phase. We start with 320 g of ice and 100 g of liquid, both at 0 degrees C. We can ignore the liquid and focus on the ice only. To convert from the solid to the liquid, we need to add the heat of fusion for each gram. So multiply the amount of ice we have by the heat of fusion. 80 cal/g * 320 g = 25600 cal Now we have 320 g of ice that's been melted into water and the 100 g of water we started with, resulting in 320 + 100 = 420 g of water at 0 degrees C. We need to heat that water to 100 degrees C 420 * 100 = 42000 cal Finally, we have 420 g of water at the boiling point. We now need to pump in an additional 540 cal/g to boil it all away. 420 g * 540 cal/g = 226800 cal So the total number of cal used is 25600 cal + 42000 cal + 226800 cal = 294400 cal</span>

How does changing the concentration of the reactants change the parts of a rate law? It changes the rate, R. It changes the rate
Sidana [21]

Answer

A. It changes the rate, R

Explanation

When we change the concentration of the reactants in a chemical reaction, it affects the rate of reaction that happens in the process. Typically, the rate of reaction will decrease with time if the concentration of the reactants decreases because the reactants will be converted to products. Similarly, the rate of reaction will increase when the concentration of reactants are increased.

If a 32.5 mL of a 15.1 M HCl solution was diluted to 3.25 L with water, what is the final concentration?
user100 [1]

Answer:

The final concentration is 0,151 M.

Explanation:

A dilution consists of the decrease of concentration of a substance in a solution (the higher the volume of the solvent, the lower the concentration).

We convert the unit of volume in L into ml: 3,25 x 1000= 3250 ml

We use the formula for dilutions:

C1 x V1 = C2 x V2

C2= (C1 xV1)/V2

C2= (32, 5 ml x 15, 1 M)/ 3250 ml

<em>C2=0,151 M</em>
