The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

N₂O₄(g)⇌2NO₂ at 2°C is Kc = 2.0

If each yellow sphere represents 1 mol of N₂O₄(g) and each gray sphere 1 mol of NO₂ which of the following 1.0 L containers represents the equilibrium mixture at 2°C?

The image is attached below.

<u>Answer:</u> The system which represents the equilibrium having value of K_c=2.0 is system (b)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_c

For a general chemical reaction:

aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

The expression for K_{c} is written as:

K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

For the given chemical equation:

N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}      .......(1)

We are given:

Volume of the container = 1.0 L

Value of K_c = 2.0

Molarity of the substance is calculated by using the equation:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}

For the given images:

  • <u>For a:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 8 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 4 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

K_c=\frac{(8/1)^2}{(4/1)}\\\\K_c=16

  • <u>For b:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 4 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

K_c=\frac{(4/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=2

  • <u>For c:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 6 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 6 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

K_c=\frac{(6/1)^2}{(6/1)}\\\\K_c=6

  • <u>For d:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 2 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

K_c=\frac{(2/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=\frac{1}{2}

Hence, the system which represents the equilibrium having value of K_c=2.0 is system (b)

An ordered list of chemical substances is shown.
alina1380 [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 2, 4 and 5.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is a type of reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with an oxygen molecule to give carbon dioxide, water as a product.

For example : Methane react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

In the given list of chemical substances, CuO,Cu_2O,Li_2O are in oxide form. They can not be both reactant and product of a single combustion reaction.

In the given list, C_2H_5NH_2 is the only hydrocarbon which shows a combustion reaction. That means C_2H_5NH_2 react with O_2 to give CO_2,H_2O and N_2 as a product.

The balanced combustion reaction of C_2H_5NH_2 is,

20C_2H_5NH_2+40O_2\rightarrow 40CO_2+7H_2O+10N_2

Therefore, the correct answer is, (C) 2, 4, and 5.

adam wants to investigate the strengths of different acids and alkalis. He has 2 different acid solutions and 2 different alkali
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The strength of an acid or alkali depends on the degree of dissociation of the acid or alkali in water. The degree of dissociation measures the percentage of acid molecules that ionise when dissolved in water. He could use universal indicators or litmus paper for this.
