Answer:

The equilibrium constant is  K_c= 2.8*10^{-4}

Explanation:

      From  the question we are told that

              The chemical reaction equation is

      Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)} + 3H_{2}_{(g)}  -----> 2Fe_{(s)} + 3H_{2} O_{(g)}

The voume of the misture is  V_m = 5.4L  

  The molar mass of  Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)} is a constant with value of  M_{Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)} } = 160g/mol

    The molar mass of  H_{2}_{(g)}    is a constant with value of  H_2 = 2g/mol

   

    The molar mass of  H_{2}O    is a constant with value of  H_2O = 18g/mol

Generally the number of moles  is mathematically given as

                     No \ of \ moles \ = \frac{mass}{molar\  mass}

    For   Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)}

          No \ of\ moles = \frac{3.54}{160}

                                = 0.022125 \ mols

     For  H_{2}

               No \ of\ moles = \frac{3.63}{2}

                                = 1.815 \ mols

       For  H_{2}O

                         No \ of\ moles = \frac{2.13}{18}

                                              = 0.12 \ mols

Generally the concentration of a compound  is mathematicallyrepresented  as

       Concentration  = \frac{No \ of \ moles }{Volume }

      For   Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)}

                Concentration[Fe_2 O_3] = \frac{0.222125}{5.4}

                                         = 4.10*10^{-3}M                          

       For  H_{2}

                  Concentration[H_2] = \frac{1.815}{5.4}

                                           = 0.336M

      For  H_{2}O

                Concentration [H_2O] = \frac{0.12}{5.4}

                                                  = 0.022M

  The equilibrium constant  is mathematically represented as

                K_c = \frac{[concentration \ of \ product]}{[concentration \ of \ reactant ]}

  Considering H_2O  \ for \ product

            And      H_2  \ for  \ reactant

At  equilibrium the

                    K_c = \frac{0.022}{0.336}

                          K_c= 2.8*10^{-4}

In which of the following phases of matter do molecules have the lowest amount of energy?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

C. Solid

Explanation:

It's most about the kinetic energy, when molecules have the least amount of room to move around, they have the least amount of energy.

For example if you think about gas and how spread out the molecules are in order to evaporate, there it the highest amount of energy there.
