The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Iron(III) oxide and hydrogen react to form iron and water, like this:

Fe_2O_3(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3H_2O(g)

At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 5.4 L reaction vessel containing a mixture of iron(III) oxide, hydrogen, iron, and water at equilibrium has the following composition:

Compound        Amount

   Fe_2O_3         3.54 g

      H_2             3.63 g

      Fe             2.37 g

     H_2O           2.13 g

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits

<u>Answer:</u> The value of equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 2.8\times 10^{-4}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

  • <u>For hydrogen gas:</u>

Given mass of hydrogen gas = 3.63 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Volume of solution = 5.4 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of hydrogen gas}=\frac{3.63}{2\times 5.4}\\\\\text{Molarity of hydrogen gas}=0.336M

  • <u>For water:</u>

Given mass of water = 2.13 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Volume of solution = 5.4 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of water}=\frac{2.13}{18\times 5.4}\\\\\text{Molarity of water}=0.0219M

The given chemical equation follows:

Fe_2O_3(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3H_2O(g)

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[H_2O]^3}{[H_2]^3}

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in equilibrium constant expression. So, the concentration of iron and iron (III) oxide is not present in equilibrium constant expression.

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K_c=\frac{(0.0219)^3}{(0.336)^3}\\\\K_c=2.77\times 10^{-4}

Hence, the value of equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 2.8\times 10^{-4}

Assuming it's a perfect gas, we have PV=nRT hence if T goes down, V goes down up. The volume will decrease.

What is the answer of number 3
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

TRUE!!!

Explanation:

The transfer of thermal energy is called heat. Therefore, a heating system is a system for the transfer of thermal energy. Regardless of the type of heating system in a home, the basic function is the same: to produce thermal energy and transfer it to air throughout the house.

Mean: the average. you have to add the values of the numbers and then divide by the amount of numbers there are. a common mistake to avoid is forgetting to divide the numbers at the end or subtracting them instead of adding.

mean: the middle number. you would first need to order the numbers from least to greatest. a common mistake to avoid is finding the middle number before ordering it from least to greatest

these two can also be commonly mistaken for one another because of the similar spelling.
