Answer:

Reaction c. has the largest value of \frac{k_{p} }{k_{c} } =  1.55 X 10^{10} at 300 K

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Converting between Kc and Kp For which of the following reactions is the ratio Kp/Kc largest at 300 K?  

a. N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g)

b. C(s) +2H2(g) ⇌ CH4(g)

c. Ni(CO)4(g) ⇌ Ni(s) + 4CO(g)

d. CaCO3(s) ⇌ CaO(s) + CO2(g)

Solution

k_{p} = k_{c}(RT)^{n}\\\frac{k_{p} }{k_{c} } =  (RT)^{n}

where R = molar gas constant = 8.314 J/mol-K, T = temperature = 300 K and n = number of moles of products - number of moles of reactants

For reaction a. number of moles of gaseous products = 2, number of moles of gaseous reactants = 2. So n = 2 - 2 = 0

So, \frac{k_{p} }{k_{c} } =  (RT)^{n} = (RT)^{0} = 1

For reaction b. number of moles of gaseous products = 1, number of moles of gaseous reactants = 2. So n = 1 - 2 = -1 (we do not include the solid)

So, \frac{k_{p} }{k_{c} } =  (RT)^{n} = (RT)^{-1} = (8.314 X 300)^{-1} = (2494.2)^{-1} = 4.01   X 10^{-4}

For reaction c. number of moles of gaseous products = 5, number of moles of gaseous reactants = 1. So n = 4 - 1 = 3 (we do not include the solid)

So, \frac{k_{p} }{k_{c} } =  (RT)^{n} = (RT)^{3} = (8.314 X 300)^{3} = (2494.2)^{3} = 1.55 X 10^{10}

For reaction d. number of moles of gaseous products = 2, number of moles of gaseous reactants = 0. So n = 2 - 0 = 2 (we do not include the solid)

So, \frac{k_{p} }{k_{c} } =  (RT)^{n} = (RT)^{2} = (8.314 X 300)^{2} = (2494.2)^{2} = 6.22 X 10^{6}

Since \frac{k_{p} }{k_{c} } =  1.55 X 10^{10} for reaction c which is the largest value. So, reaction c. has the largest value of \frac{k_{p} }{k_{c} } =  1.55 X 10^{10} at 300 K

Below are the choices:

<span>A. Ni(CO)4(g) ⇌ Ni(s) + 4CO(g)
B. C(s) +2H2(g) ⇌ CH4(g)
C. CaCO3(s) ⇌ CaO(s) + CO2(g)
D. N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g)
</span>
The answer is A. Ni(CO)4(g) ⇌ Ni(s) + 4CO(g)

<span>The Kp/Kc ratio is equal to (RT)Δn. K is a constant and the temperature is held constant. So, the Kp/Kc ratio depends on Δn or the difference of moles of gaseous product and reactant. The reaction with the greatest Kp/Kc ratio is Ni(CO)4(g) ⇌ Ni(s) + 4CO(g) with a Δn of 3.</span>

How many copper atoms are in 70g of copper
Elanso [62]

Answer:

n = 6.634\times 10^{23}\,atoms

Explanation:

The total amount of atoms is found by multiplying Avogradro's Number and the number of moles:

n = \left(6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{atoms}{mol} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{70\,g}{63.546\,\frac{g}{mol} } \right)

n = 6.634\times 10^{23}\,atoms

F2 is light yellow/colorless in hydrocarbon solvent. I2 is pink. If a student combines fluorine water with NaI (sodium iodide) i
Tamiku [17]
F₂ + 2 NaI → 2 NaF + I₂
<span>It is given that F₂ is light yellow / colorless in hydrocarbon solvent. The student combines Fluorine water with NaI in water. Then student adds pentane in the mixture of F₂ and NaI. After dissolution, solution was observed and a colorless pentane layer was seen. Alkanes are unreactive in nature. The C-H bond in alkane is difficult to break. whereas, F₂ is very reactive and reacts vigorously with alkanes in presence of light by free radical mechanism.It is given that the color of the solution is nearly colorless. F₂ when present in hydrocarbon solvent is light yellow/ colorless/ nearly colorless. Hence, F₂ is not reacting with hydrocarbon and there is no reaction taking place (No F</span>₂ is present<span>)</span>

An aluminum block has a density of 2.70 g/mL. If the mass of the block is 24.60 g, find the volume of the substance.
harina [27]

Volume of a substance can be determined by dividing mass of the substance by its density.

That can be mathematical shown as:

Density=Mass/Volume

So, Volume=Mass/Density

Here mass of the substance given as 24.60 g

Whereas density of the substance is 2.70 g/mL

So,

Volume=Mass/Density

=24.6/2.7

=9.1 mL

So volume of the substance is 9.1 mL.
