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}

How many moles are contained in 2.0 L of N2 at standard temperature and pressure.
GuDViN [60]

0.091 moles are contained in 2.0 L of N2 at standard temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

Data given:

volume of the nitrogen gas = 2 litres

Standard temperature = 273 K

Standard pressure = 1 atm

number of moles =?

R (gas constant) = 0.08201 L atm/mole K

Assuming nitrogen to be an ideal gas at STP, we will use Ideal Gas law

PV = nRT

rearranging the  equation to calculate number of moles:

PV = nRT

n = \frac{PV}{RT}

putting the values in the equation:

n = \frac{1X2}{0.08201 X 273}

n = 0.091 moles

0.091 moles of nitrogen gas is contained in a container at STP.

It takes to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond
Zolol [24]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

It takes 151 kJ/mol to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:  793 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the light  = 151 kJ= 151000 J   (1kJ=1000J)

N= moles = 1 = 6.023\times 10^{23}

h = Planck's constant  = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

c = speed of light  = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength of light  = ?

Putting in the values:

151000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{\lambda}

{\lambda}=7.93\times 10^{-7}m=793nm    1m=10^{-9}nm

Thus  the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 793 nm

1. In what ways does an organism’s mode of reproduction impact the diversity of its offspring? (Asexual vs. Sexual)
Katen [24]

Answer:

<u>Asexual reproduction</u> = An exact copy of the reproducer

<u>Sexual reproduction</u> = Genetic variation into the organism if a random mutation in the organism's DNA is transmitted to offspring.

Explanation:

Example of Asexual Reproduction diversity - A red apple has apple seeds. You plant the red apple seeds, and it grows up to be no different than the apple before it.

Sexual reproduction Example of diversity -Two parents are of different ethnicities. The female gets pregnant, but because of the different genetics from both of the parents, the child will inherit their genetics + some random mutation in the DNA.  

This impacts the diversity of the offspring because it can be an exact copy of the reproducer (Asexual), or significantly different with some similarities if the mode of reproduction was sexual.

I really hope this helps you! Please tell me if it did or not. Good luck with your assignment/exam/quiz!
