Answer: The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction is K_a\times K_b

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios.

a) P(s)+\frac{3}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)

K_a=\frac{[PCl_3]}{[Cl_2]^{\frac{3}{2}}}

b) PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_5(g)

K_b=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[Cl_2]\times [PCl_3]}

For overall reaction on adding a and b we get c

c) P(s)+\frac{5}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_5(g)

K_c=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[Cl_2]^\frac{5}{2}}

K_c=K_a\times K_b=\frac{[PCl_3]}{[Cl_2]^{\frac{3}{2}}}\times \frac{[PCl_5]}{[Cl_2]\times [PCl_3]}

The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction is K_a\times K_b

If I contain 3 moles of gas in a container with a volume of 60 liters and at a
viktelen [127]

Answer:    n = 3.0 moles

V = 60.0 L

T = 400 K

From PV = nRT, you can find P

P = nRT/V = (3.0 mol)(0.0821 L-atm/K-mol)(400 K)/60.0L

P = 1.642 atm = 1.6 atm (to 2 significant figures)

Catalytic converters made of palladium (pd) reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between unburned hydrocarbons
Doss [256]
Unburned hydrocarbon on reacting with oxygen undergoes combustion reaction. However, the activation energy of this reaction is significantly high. When a catalyst like Pd is added to the reaction system, it provides active sites for the reaction to occur. It acts are a heterogeneous catalyst. It is pertinent of note that catalyst is refereed as heterogeneous, when it exist in different phase as compared to reactant and products. In present case, reactants and products are in gas phase, while catalyst is in solid phase. Due to availability of larger surface area at active site of Pd, activation energy of reaction decreases and decrease in activation energy favors higher reaction rates.

Consider the following reaction at 298K.
lakkis [162]

The true statements are;

  • K < 0
  • Eocel  < 0

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

We define a redox reaction as one in which a specie is oxidized and another is reduced.

Now;

Eo cell = cell potential = -0.13 V - (+0.34 V) = -0.47 V

n =number of moles of electrons = 2 mole of electrons

K = equilibrium constant

ΔG = change in free energy

Eo cell = 0.0592/n log K

-0.47 =  0.0592/2 log K

log K =  -0.47  * 2/0.0592

K = 1.3 * 10^-16

ΔG = -nFEo cell

ΔG = -(2 * 96500 * -0.47)

ΔG = 90.7kJ

Describe the term molarity as it relates to an acid or base.
Sidana [21]
Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. For example, we are given a solution of 2M NaOH this describes a solution that has 2 moles of NaOH per 1 L volume of the solution. Acids and bases can be measured through the concentrations of H+ and OH- ions in units of molarity. Hope this helps.
