This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

At a certain temperature, the reaction 2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NOCl(g)  has an equilibrium constant Kc of 45.0. A chemist creates a mixture with the following initial concentrations: [NO] = 0.10 M, [Cl₂] = 0.20 M, and [NOCl] = 0.30 M. What will happen as the reaction begins?

A. [NOCl] will increase.

B. [NOCl] will decrease.

C. [NOCl] will stay the same.

D. There is not enough information to answer the question.

Answer : The correct option is, (C) [NOCl] will stay the same.

Explanation :

Reaction quotient (Q) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NOCl(g)

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

Q=\frac{[NOCl]^2}{[NO]^2[Cl_2]}

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

Q=\frac{(0.30)^2}{(0.10)^2\times (0.20)}=45

The given equilibrium constant value is, K_c=45

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

There are 3 conditions:

When Q>K_c that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

When Q that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.

When Q=K_c that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

From the above we conclude that, the Q=K_c that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium that means the concentration of NOCl will stay the same.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) [NOCl] will stay the same.

Which of these is an indication that a chemical reaction has occurred?
Kobotan [32]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct option is C.
  • Formation of a precipitate

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

During a chemical reaction, new substances are formed known as a products, mostly reaction occur and their product is obtained as precipitates.

<u><em>Example</em></u>

Arylidene-2-thiobarbituric acid is obtained as precipitates when aldehyde and thiobarbituric acid react to each other.

melting of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like melting of ice, composition remained same as before.

boiling of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like boiling of water into vapors, composition remained same as before.

freezing of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like freezing of water into ice, composition remained same as before

Copper has average atomic mass of 63.546 amu. It's two isotopes are Cu-63 (which is 69.17% abundant and has a mass of 62.9296 am
garri49 [273]

Answer: 69.152% → 63^Cu

30.848% → 65^Cu

Explanation:

As you know, the average atomic mass of an element is determined by taking the weighted average of the atomic masses of its naturally occurring isotopes.

Simply put, an element's naturally occurring isotopes will contribute to the average atomic mass of the element proportionally to their abundance.
