Is calcium chloride an acid or base

1 answer:

Calcium chloride is the salt of hydrochloric acid and calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide is usually not considered a strong base, and I believe this is because of it's low solubility. HCl is a strong acid, and so the salt should be slightly acidic.

The decomposition of N2O4 into NO2 has Kp = 2. Some N2O4 is placed into an empty container, and the partial pressure of NO2 at e

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Expression for the given decomposition reaction is as follows.

$N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}$

Let us assume that x concentration of $N_{2}O_{4}$ is present at the initial stage. Therefore, according to the ICE table,

$N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}$

Initial : x 0

Change : - 0.1 $2 \times 0.1$

Equilibrium : (x - 0.1) 0.2

Now, expression for $K_{p}$ of this reaction is as follows.

$K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}$

$2 = \frac{(0.2)^{2}}{(x - 0.1)}$

$2 \times (x - 0.1) = (0.2)^{2}$

x = 0.12

This means that $P_{N_{2}O_{4}}$ = x = 0.12 atm.

Thus, we can conclude that the initial pressure in the container prior to decomposition is 0.12 atm.
