At 25°C, the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction in thesolvent CCl4 2BrCl <----> Br2 + Cl2 is 0.141. If the initial c

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of bromine gas is 0.00135 M

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial concentration of chlorine gas = 0.0300 M

Initial concentration of bromine monochlorine = 0.0200 M

For the given chemical equation:

$2BrCl\rightleftharpoons Br_2+Cl_2$

Initial: 0.02 0.03

At eqllm: 0.02-2x x 0.03+x

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[Br_2]\times [Cl_2]}{[BrCl]^2}$

We are given:

$K_c=0.141$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.141=\frac{x\times (0.03+x)}{(0.02-2x)^2}\\\\x=-0.96,+0.00135$

Neglecting the value of x = -0.96 because, concentration cannot be negative

So, equilibrium concentration of bromine gas = x = 0.00135 M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of bromine gas is 0.00135 M

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

a. CaCl₂.2 H₂O (aq) + K₂C₂O₄. H₂O (aq) ----> 2 KCl + CaC₂O₄ (s) + 3 H₂0 (l)

b. Ca²+ (aq) + C₂O₄²- (aq) ----> CaC₂O₄ (s)

C. moles of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = 0.00222 moles

d. Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted = 0.326 g

e. Moles of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles

f. Mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O reacted = 0.408 g

g. mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O remaining unreacted = 0.145 g

h. Percent by mass CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 37.1%

Percent by mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 62.9%

Explanation:

a. Molecular equation of the reaction is given below :

CaCl₂.2 H₂O (aq) + K₂C₂O₄. H₂O (aq) ----> 2 KCl + CaC₂O₄ (s) + 3 H₂0 (l)

b. The net ionic equation is given below

Ca²+ (aq) + C₂O₄²- (aq) ----> CaC₂O₄ (s)

C. mass CaC₂O₄ produced = 0.284 g, molar mass of CaC₂O₄ = 128 g/mol

moles CaC₂O₄ produced = 0.284 g / 128 g/mol = 0.00222 moles

Mole ratio of CaC₂O₄ and CaCl₂.2 H₂O is 1 : 1, therefore moles of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = 0.00222 moles

d. Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 147 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles × 147 g/mol = 0.326 g

e. Mole ratio of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O and CaC₂O₄ is 1 : 1, therefore, moles of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles

f. Mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O reacted in the mixture = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 184 g/mol

grams K2C2O4-H2O reacted = 0.00222 moles 184 g/mole = 0.408 g

g. Mass of sample = 0.879 g

mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O in sample completely used up = 0.326 g

mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O in sample = 0.879 g - 0.326 g = 0.553 g

mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O remaining unreacted = 0.553 g - 0.408 g = 0.145 g

h. Percent by mass CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 0.326 /0.879 x 100% = 37.1%

Percent by mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 0.553/0.879 × 100% = 62.9%

The first-order rate constant for the reaction of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) with water to produce methanol (CH3OH) and hydrochlori

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

K(48.5°C) = 1.017 E-8 s-1

Explanation:

CH3Cl + H2O → CH3OH + HCl

at T1 = 25°C (298 K) ⇒ K1 = 3.32 E-10 s-1

at T2 = 48.5°C (321.5 K) ⇒ K2 = ?

Arrhenius eq:

K(T) = A e∧(-Ea/RT)
Ln K = Ln(A) - [(Ea/R)(1/T)]

∴ A: frecuency factor

∴ R = 8.314 E-3 KJ/K.mol

⇒ Ln K1 = Ln(A) - [Ea/R)*(1/T1)]..........(1)

⇒ Ln K2 = Ln(A) - [(Ea/R)*(1/T2)].............(2)

(1)/(2):

⇒ Ln (K1/K2) = (Ea/R)* (1/T2-1/T1)

⇒ Ln (K1/K2) = (116 KJ/mol/8.3134 E-3 KJ/K.mol)*(1/321.5 K - 1/298 K)

⇒ Ln (K1/K2) = (13952.37 K)*(- 2.453 E-4 K-1)

⇒ Ln (K1/K2) = - 3.422

⇒ K1/K2 = e∧(-3.422)

⇒ (3.32 E-10 s-1)/K2 = 0.0326

⇒ K2 = (3.32 E-10 s-1)/0.0326

⇒ K2 = 1.017 E-8 s-1
