In a chemical reaction, substrate molecule A is broken down to form one molecule of product B and one molecule of product C. The

equilibrium constant, K, for this reaction is 0.5. If we start with a mixture containing only substrate A at a concentration of 1 M, what will be the concentration of A when the reaction reaches equilibrium?a. 0.125 Mb. 0.25 Mc. 0.333 Md. 0.5 Me. 0.667 M

Answer:

The answer to your question is d. 0.5 M

Explanation:

Data

[A] = 1M

K = 0.5

Concentration of B and C at equilibrium = x

Concentration of A at equilibrium = 1 - x

Equation of equilibrium

                                       k = \frac{[B][C]}{A}

Substitution

                                       0.5 = \frac{[x][x]}{1 - x}

Simplification

                                       0.5 = \frac{x^{2}}{1 - x}

Solve for x

                                      0.5(1 - x) = x²

                                      0.5 - 0.5x = x²

                                       x² + 0.5x - 0.5 = 0

Find the roots             x₁ = 0.5     x₂ = -1

There are no negative concentrations so the concentration of A at equilibrium is  

                       [A] = 1 - 0.5

                             = 0.5 M

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the drawing  referred to in the question.

However, each option refers to a particular respiratory system and with the organs and the tissues mentioned here one can eventually identify which option is correct when the drawing is available.

A) The system described here is the cardiovascular system (or the circulatory system). This system involves the heart, blood vessels and the blood (which are what help in the transport of the materials mentioned in the question).

B) The system described here is the digestive system. This system involves the gastrointestinal tract and organs (that assist in the production/secretion or storage of chemicals that breakdown food into smaller pieces) such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and the anus.

C) The system described here is the skeletal system. This system involves all the bones and joint in the body (the skeleton) which also helps in protecting organs in the body.

D) The system described here is the Endocrine system. This system involves several internal glands (such as the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands) in the body.

NOTE: Identify which organ and/or tissue is present in the diagram and use that to select the appropriate option from the description of each of the options provided above.

leva [86]
Here's the equation:
<span>Fe2 O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2 O3 
</span>
Here's the question.
What mass of Al will react with 150g of Fe2 O3? 

<span>In every 2 moles Al you need 1 mole Fe2O3 </span>

<span>moles = mass / molar mass </span>
<span>moles Fe2O3 = 150 g / 159.69 g/mol </span>
<span>= 0.9393 moles </span>

<span>moles Al needed = 2 x moles Fe2O3 </span>
<span>= 2 x 0.9393 mol </span>
<span>= 1.879 moles Al needed </span>

<span>mass = molar mass x moles </span>
<span>mass Al = 26.98 g/mol x 1.879 mol </span>
<span>= 50.69 g </span>
<span>= 51 g (2 sig figs) 
</span>
So the <span>mass of Al that will react with 150g of Fe2 O3 is 51 grams.</span>
