2. What are the characteristics of an acid (at least 3)?

arlik [135]

Answer:Acids taste sour, react with metals, react with carbonates, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, do not react with carbonates and turn red litmus paper blue.

Explanation:

Sour taste (though you should never use this characteristic to identify an acid in the lab)

Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas.

Increases the H+ concentration in water.

The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) is 49 at 230°C. If 0.70 mol of PCl3 is added to 0.70 mol

Ymorist [56]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 0.11 M

Solution :

First we have to calculate the concentration $PCl_3$ and $Cl_2$ .

$\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }PCl_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

$\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }Cl_2}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M$

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

Initially 0.70 0.70 0

At equilibrium (0.70-x) (0.70-x) x

The expression of $K_c$ will be,

$K_c=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}$

$K_c=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}$

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

$49=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}$

By solving the term x, we get

$x=0.59\text{ and }0.83$

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 0.83 can not more than initial concentration. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 0.83 is not consider.

Thus, the concentration of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of $PCl_5$ at equilibrium = x = 0.59 M

Therefore, the concentration of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium is 0.11 M

Which answer choice lists the number and type of elements in a compound in the way that is close to their actual arrangement?

alexandr1967 [171]

The chemical formula of a compound express the atoms by which the molecule is formed and the ratio of the atoms in which they are combined.

The space filling model of a compound describe the electron density in the compound of each atom.

The ball and stick arrangement of a compound describe the way in which the molecules are present in three dimensions.

The structural formula state the number of atoms present in the molecule, the type of element or atom present in the molecule and the way in which they are arranged closely which is the bond.

Thus only the structural formula only will cover all the options as stated.

Negative radical in the periodic table

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

A radical is a group of atoms of elements carrying a charge, e.g., chlorate [ClO3–]. Radicals or ions are formed by losing or gaining electrons. When an electron is gained the group of atoms acquire a negative charge and is called a negative radical or negative ion.
