Answer:

a. No change.    

b. The equilibrium will shift to the right.

c. No change

d. No change

e.  The equilibrium will shift to the left

f.  The equilibrium will shift to the right      

Explanation:

We are going to solve this question by making use of Le Chatelier´s principle which states that any change in a system at equilibrium will react in such a way as to attain qeuilibrium again by changing the equilibrium concentrations attaining   Keq  again.

The equilibrium constant  for  A(s)⇌B(g)+C(g)  

Keq = Kp = pB x pC

where K is the equilibrium constant ( Kp in this case ) and pB and pC are the partial pressures of the gases. ( Note A is not in the expression since it is a solid )

We also use  Q which has the same form as Kp but denotes the system is not at equilibrium:

Q = p´B x p´C where pB´ and pC´ are the pressures not at equilibrium.

a.  double the concentrations of Q which has the same form as Kp but : products and then double the container volume

Effectively we have not change the equilibrium pressures since we know pressure is inversely proportional to volume.

Initially the system will decrease the partial pressures of B and C by a half:

Q = pB´x pC´     ( where pB´and pC´are the changed pressures )

Q = (2 pB ) x (2 pC) = 4 (pB x PC) = 4 Kp  ⇒ Kp = Q/4

But then when we double the volume ,the sistem will react to  double the pressures of A and B. Therefore there is no change.

b.  double the container volume

From part a we know the system will double the pressures of B and C by shifting to the right ( product ) side since the change  reduced the pressures by a half :

Q =  pB´x pC´  = (  1/2 pB ) x ( 1/2 pC )  =  1/4 pB x pC  = 1/4 Kp

c. add more A

There is no change in the partial pressures of B and C since the solid A does not influence the value of kp

d. doubling the  concentration of B and halve the concentration of C

Doubling the concentrantion doubles  the pressure which we can deduce from pV = n RT = c RT ( c= n/V ), and likewise halving the concentration halves the pressure. Thus, since we are doubling the concentration of B and halving that of C, there is no net change in the new equilibrium:

Q =  pB´x pC´  = ( 2 pB ) x ( 1/2 pC ) = K

e.  double the concentrations of both products

We learned that doubling the concentration doubles the pressure so:

Q =  pB´x pC´   = ( 2 pB ) x ( 2 pC ) = 4 Kp

Therefore, the system wil reduce by a half the pressures of B and C by producing more solid A to reach equilibrium again shifting it to the left.

f.  double the concentrations of both products and then quadruple the container volume

We saw from part e that doubling the concentration doubles the pressures, but here afterward we are going to quadruple the container volume thus reducing the pressure by a fourth:

Q =  pB´x pC´   = ( 2 pB/ 4 ) x (2 pC / 4) = 4/16  Kp = 1/4 Kp

So the system will increase the partial pressures of B and C by a factor of four, that is it will double the partial pressures of B and C shifting the equilibrium to the right.

If you do not see it think that double the concentration and then quadrupling the volume is the same net effect as halving the volume.

If 28 grams of N reacts completely with 12 grams of H2, then how many
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Mass of NH₃ produced = 34 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of nitrogen = 28 g

Mass of Hydrogen = 12 g

Mass of NH₃ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ +  3H₂    →   2NH₃

Moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 28 g/ 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mol

Moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 12 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 6 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen and nitrogen with ammonia.

                            H₂              :               NH₃

                            3                :                2

                            6                :             2/3×6 = 4 mol

                           N₂              :                NH₃

                            1                :                 2

Number of moles of ammonia produced by nitrogen are less thus it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of ammonia produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  2 mol  ×  17 g/mol

Mass = 34 g

Iron has a density of 7.87mL. How much mass would a 12.3mL sample contain?
algol [13]

The correct answer is 96.80 grams

Explanation:

The density of a substance shows the total mass the substance contains in 1 mL or 1 cm3 as density is calculated by using the formula D= M (mass) / V (volume). This implies, Iron contains 7.87 grams per milliliter. Moreover, this value and formula can be used to calculate the mass or volume of any other sample. The process to calculate the mass of an iron sample with a volume of 12.3 mL is shown below.

D = M ÷ V

7.87 mL = x ÷ 12.3 mL - x represents the missing value. Now find the value of x by solving the equation

x = 7.87 · 12.3  

x = 96.80

This means a sample of 12.3 mL contains a mass of 96.80 grams. Also, you can know this value is correct because if you divide the mass by the value the density is the same (96.80 grams ÷ 12.3 mL = 7.87 g/mL)

What does the position of lithium (Li) on the periodic table tell you about its tendency to react with other elements?
Karolina [17]
For metals (lithium) reactivity increases down a group and from right to left across a period. So lithium is not that reactive. I think ‍♀️
