Why is it dangerous to react sodium and potassium with dulute sulphuric acid?​

Chemistry

Answer:

Because sodium and potassium are very reactive metals so they react explosively with HCL and H2SO4 evolving a large amount of heat.

Answer:

Potassium, sodium, lithium and calcium all react violently

with dilute sulfuric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid.

It is dangerous to put thesemetals into an acid.

The reaction is similar to the reaction with water,

forming the metal salt (either sulfate or chloride) plus H2(g).

Sulfuric acid is formed when sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen and water. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. (
Nesterboy [21]

Balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

2SO_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)+ 2H_{2}O (l) ⇒H_{2} S_{} O_{4}

Moles of H_{2} S_{} O_{4} formed is 5.75 moles.

Moles of oxygen used is 5.75 moles in the reaction.

Explanation:

Data given:

moles of SO_{2} = 11.5 moles

moles of H_{2} S_{} O_{4} = ?

Moles of O_{2} needed =?

balanced equation with states of matter =?

Balanced chemical reaction under STP condition is given as:

2SO_{2}(g) + O_{2} (g) + 2H_{2}O (l) ⇒H_{2} S_{} O_{4}

From the balanced reaction 2 moles of sulphur dioxide reacted to form 1 mole of sulphuric acid:

so, from 11.5 moles of SO_{2}, x moles of H_{2} S_{} O_{4} is formed

\frac{1}{2}  =\frac{x}{11.5}

2x = 11.5

x = 5.75 moles of sulphuric acid formed.

From the balanced reaction 1 mole of oxygen reacted to form 1  mole of sulphuric acid.

when 11.5 moles of Sulphur dioxide reacted then oxygen in the reaction is 5.75 moles.

Given that Kp [NOTE: Kp!!!!] = 1.39 at 400 ºC for the reaction, P4(g) <=> 2 P2(g), which answer best describes the reactio
Igoryamba

Answer:

The reaction will proceed to the left to attain equilibrium.

Explanation:

The question is missing but I guess it must be about <em>how the reaction will proceed to attain equilibrium.</em>

First, we have to calculate the partial pressures using the ideal gas equation.

pP_{4}=\frac{2.50mol\times (0.08206atm.L/mol.K)\times 673K}{25.0L} =5.52atm

pP_{2}=\frac{1.50mol\times (0.08206atm.L/mol.K)\times 673K}{25.0L}=3.31atm

Now, we have to calculate the reaction quotient (Qp).

Qp=\frac{pP_{2}^{2}}{pP_{4}} =\frac{3.31^{2} }{5.52} =1.98

Since Qp > Kp, the reaction will proceed to the left to attain equilibrium.
