Answer:

[Cl₂] in equilibrium is 1.26 M

Explanation:

This is the equilibrium:

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇋ PCl₅(g)

Kc = 91

So let's analyse, all the process:

                PCl₃(g)        +        Cl₂(g)     ⇋        PCl₅(g)

Initially     0.24 M                 1.50M                 0.12 M

React           x                           x                         x

Some amount of compound has reacted during the process.

In equilibrium we have

              0.24 - x                  1.50 - x                  0.12 + x

As initially we have moles of product, in equilibrium we have to sum them.

Let's make the expression for Kc

Kc = [PCl₅] / [Cl₂] . [PCl₃]

91 = (0.12 + x) / (0.24 - x) ( 1.50 - x)

91 = (0.12 + x) / (0.36 - 0.24x - 1.5x + x²)          

91 (0.36 - 0.24x - 1.5x + x²) = (0.12 + x)

32.76 - 158.34x + 91x² = 0.12 +x

32.64 - 159.34x + 91x² = 0

This a quadratic function:

a = 91; b= -159.34; c = 32.64

(-b +- √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

Solution 1 = 1.5

Solution 2 = 0.23 (This is our value)

So [Cl₂] in equilibrium is 1.50 - 0.23 = 1.26 M

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

answer is 14

Explanation:

A= v-u/t

A = 75 - 0/5

A = 14

v = final velocity

U = initial velocity

T = time taken

Which is a characteristic of mixtures
barxatty [35]
They are three types of mixtures:
-solutions : they are homogeneous mixtures of 2 or more sub. in a single phase.
-suspensions: if the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless constantly tired, the mixture is called a suspension.
-colloids: particles that are intermediate in size between those of solutions and suspensions form mixtures called colloids.
