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

How is the structure of the atom arranged?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

An atom is a complex arrangement of negatively charged electrons arranged in defined shells about a positively charged nucleus. This nucleus contains most of the atom's mass and is composed of protons and neutrons (except for common hydrogen which has only one proton).

Answer the questions below:
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

1.  An apple is something that has matter.

2. Light does not have matter. It neither has mass or takes up and space.

3. Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition. Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions.

4. A chemical reaction is usually accompanied by easily observed physical effects, such as the emission of heat and light, the formation of a precipitate, the evolution of gas, or a color change. Absolute confirmation of a chemical change can only be validated by chemical analysis of the products!

5. A precipitate is a solid that forms out of solution.

6. In simple terms, the endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surrounding that is in the form of heat. On the other hand, an exothermic reaction releases energy into the surrounding of the system.

Explanation:

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up volume.
