Answer:

The value of Q must be less than that of K.

Explanation:

The difference of K and Q can be understood with the help of an example as follows

         A ⇄ B

In this reaction A is converted into B but after some A is converted , forward reaction stops At this point , let equilibrium concentration of B be [B] and let equilibrium concentration of A be [A]

In this case ratio of  [B] and  [A]  that is

K =  [B] / [A] which is called equilibrium constant.

But if we measure the concentration of A and B ,before equilibrium is reached , then the ratio of the concentration of A and B will be called Q. As reaction continues concentration of A increases and concentration of B decreases. Hence Q tends to be equal to K.

Q = [B] / [A] . It is clear that Q < K before equilibrium.

If Q < K , reaction will proceed towards equilibrium or forward reaction will

proceed .

For the reaction Na2CO3+Ca(NO3)2⟶CaCO3+2NaNO3 how many grams of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, are produced from 79.3 g of sodium car
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

74.81 grams of calcium carbonate are produced from 79.3 g of sodium carbonate.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Na₂CO₃ + Ca(NO₃)₂ ⟶ CaCO₃ + 2 NaNO₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
  • Ca(NO₃)₂: 1 mole
  • CaCO₃: 1 mole
  • NaNO₃: 2 mole

Being the molar mass of the compounds:

  • Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
  • Ca(NO₃)₂: 164 g/mole  
  • CaCO₃: 100 g/mole
  • NaNO₃: 85 g/mole

then by stoichiometry the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

  • Na₂CO₃: 1 mole* 106 g/mole= 106 g
  • Ca(NO₃)₂: 1 mole* 164 g/mole= 164 g
  • CaCO₃: 1 mole* 100 g/mole= 100 g
  • NaNO₃: 2 mole* 85 g/mole= 170 g

You can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 106 grams of Na₂CO₃ produce 100 grams of  CaCO₃, 79.3 grams of Na₂CO₃ produce how much mass of  CaCO₃?

mass of CaCO_{3} =\frac{79.3 grams of Na_{2} CO_{3} *100 grams of of CaCO_{3}}{106 grams of Na_{2} CO_{3}}

mass of CaCO₃= 74.81 grams

<u><em>74.81 grams of calcium carbonate are produced from 79.3 g of sodium carbonate.</em></u>

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Metals consist of giant structures of atoms arranged in a regular pattern. The electrons from the outer shells of the metal atoms are delocalised , and are free to move through the whole structure. This sharing of delocalised electrons results in strong metallic bonding .
