t 745 K, the reaction below has an equilibrium constant (Kc) of 5.00 × 102. H2 (g) + I2 (g) ⇌ 2 HI (g) If a mixture of 0.10 mol
spayn [35]

Answer : The concentration of HI (g) at equilibrium is, 0.643 M

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

                        H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)

Initial conc.    0.10        0.10      0.50

At eqm.        (0.10-x)  (0.10-x)   (0.50+2x)

As we are given:

K_c=5.00\times 10^2

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

5.00\times 10^2=\frac{(0.50+2x)^2}{(0.10-x)\times (0.10-x)}

x = 0.0713  and x = 0.134

We are neglecting value of x = 0.134 because the equilibrium concentration can not be more than initial concentration.

Thus, we are taking value of x = 0.0713

The concentration of HI (g) at equilibrium = (0.50+2x) = [0.50+2(0.0713)] = 0.643 M

Thus, the concentration of HI (g) at equilibrium is, 0.643 M

What do methanol, ethanoic acid, and<br> glucose all have in common?
Nady [450]

Answer:

They are all organic compounds

Explanation:

Methanol, ethanoic acid and glucose are all organic compound that can be found in living organisms.

Glucose is a product of photosynthesis in plants. It is also produced from digestion of food in animals.

Ethanoic acid is a product of cellular respiration that occurs where there is insufficient oxygen.

Methanol is a waste often found in urine.

 These compounds can all be traced to living sources. They are called organic compounds.

How is acid rain caused?
lisov135 [29]

Acid Rain is a result of chemical compounds, like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, are released into the air. These compounds rise high into the atmosphere and react with the different elements and compounds in the air, such as oxygen and water. This reaction forms acidic pollutants and eventually fall back to the ground as acid rain. This phenomenon is attributed to industrial waste; and it was especially common in the wake of the Industrialization Era of the United States.

Describe what happens when the Ag+ combined with Na2CO3. what does this indicate?
Scorpion4ik [409]

When Ag^{+}reacts with sodium carbonate, Na_{2}CO_{3}, a white precipitate forms. The reaction between Ag^{+}and sodium carbonate, Na_{2}CO_{3} cna be represented as:

Ag^{+}(aq)+Na_{2}CO_{3}(aq)-->Ag_{2}CO_{3}(s)+2Na^{+}(aq)

So when an aqueous solution containing silver ions is mixed with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, a white precipitate of silver carbonate is formed. This indicates that the reaction would be a precipitation reaction as the carbonate of silver is insoluble in water.
