In a study of the conversion of methane to other fuels, a chemical engineer mixes gaseous CH4 and H2O in a 0.32-L flask at 1200

K. At equilibrium the flask contains 0.26 mol of CO, 0.091 mol of H2, and 0.041 mol of CH4. What is the [H2O] at equilibrium

Answer: The [H_{2}O] at equilibrium is 0.561 M.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Volume of flask = 0.32 L,

 No. of moles of CH_{4} = 0.041 mol,

 No, of moles of CO = 0.26 mol,  No. of moles of H_{2} = 0.091 mol

 Equilibrium constant, K = 0.26

Balanced chemical equation for this reaction is as follows.

     CH_{4}(g) + H_{2}O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO(g) + 3H_{2}(g)

Hence,

              K = \frac{[CO][H_{2}]^{3}}{[CH_{4}][H_{2}O]} ...... (1)

First, we will calculate the molarity or concentration of given species as follows.

CH_{4} = \frac{0.041}{0.32} = 0.128 M,

CO = \frac{0.26}{0.32} = 0.8125 M,

H_{2} = \frac{0.091}{0.32} = 0.284 M

Therefore, using expression (1) we will calculate the [H_{2}O] as follows.

     K = \frac{[CO][H_{2}]^{3}}{[CH_{4}][H_{2}O]}

or,    [H_{2}O] = \frac{[CO][H_{2}]^{3}}{[CH_{4}] \times K}

             = \frac{0.8125 \times (0.284)^{3}}{0.128 \times 0.26}

             = \frac{0.0187}{0.0333}

             = 0.561 M

Thus, we can conclude that the [H_{2}O] at equilibrium is 0.561 M.

Which of the following happens when a reaction reaches dynamic equilibrium in a closed system?
laiz [17]

Answer: B

Explanation:

At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, and thus the concentrations of the reactants and products must be constant.

What is the difference between atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass
vesna_86 [32]

\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}

<u>Difference </u><u>between </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>, </u><u>relative </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>and </u><u>average </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

<h3><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
  • It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
  • For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- <u>Carbon </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>have </u><u>different </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>. </u>
  • The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3><u>Relative </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
  • Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
  • For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
  • Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3><u>Average </u><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
  • While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
  • It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
  • In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
  • The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .

What type of chemical bond holds the na+ and cl- ions together in table salt?
fredd [130]

<em>The bond between Na + and Cl- ions is an ionic bond</em>

<em>To achieve stability, atoms with low ionization energy such as Na atoms will release electrons and bind to atoms with high-affinity energy such as Cl atoms</em>

\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Further~explanation}}}

Atoms have different stability. Unstable atomic atoms will try to form stable electron configurations like those of noble gases. Where noble gases have the number of outer electrons 2 or 8

The formation of electron configurations such as noble gases can be done by forming shared ions or electron pairs

Atoms with high ionization energy and atoms that are difficult to draw electrons will form bonds with shared electron pairs (electrons can be from one atom or two atoms attached)

In forming ions, atoms will release or attract electrons

Ion bonds occur because atoms that have low ionization energy (easily release electrons) form a + ion, and these electrons are bound by atoms that have large affinity energy (easily pulling electrons)

Generally, ionic bonds occur in metal and nonmetallic elements. Metal elements have low ionization energy and non-metallic elements have a high electron affinity

In Na atoms, to achieve stability, Na will release one electron so that it has an electron configuration like noble gas Ne

Na: 2 8 1

Ne: 2 8

so that it becomes a Na + ion

While the Cl atom will bind one electron, so it has an electron configuration like noble gas Ar

Cl: 2 8 7

Ar: 2 8 8

So that it becomes a Cl- ion

Finally, there will be an attractive attraction between positive ions and negative ions and NaCl is formed

So the bond between Na + and Cl- ions is an ionic bond
