2. A reaction vessel is charged with hydrogen iodide, which partially decomposes to molecular hydrogen and iodine:2HI (g) H2(g)

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The value of Kp at this temperature is 7.44*10⁻³

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium is established when there are two opposite reactions that take place simultaneously at the same speed.

For the general chemical equation for a homogeneous gas phase system:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of compounds A, B, C and D, the equilibrium constant Kp is determined by the following expression:

$Kp=\frac{P_{C} ^{c} *P_{D} ^{d} }{P_{A} ^{a} *P_{B} ^{b} }$

Where Px is the partial pressure of each of the components once equilibrium has been reached and they are expressed in atmospheres. The equilibrium constant Kp depends solely on temperature and is dimensionless.

In the case of the reaction:

2 HI (g) ⇔ H₂ (g) + I₂ (g)

the equilibrium constant Kp is determined by the following expression:

$Kp=\frac{P_{H_{2} } *P_{I_{2} } }{P_{HI} ^{2} }$

The system comes to equilibrium at 425 °C, and

PHI = 0.794 atm
PH2 = 0.0685 atm
PI2 = 0.0685 atm

Replacing:

$Kp=\frac{0.0685*0.0685}{0.794^{2} }$

Kp=7.44*10⁻³

<u><em>The value of Kp at this temperature is 7.44*10⁻³</em></u>

The periodic table is based on an element's

grin007 [14]

Well, TECHNICALLY, the periodic table is "based" upon a whole myriad of characteristics. But if you're talking about the consecutive arrangement of elements...it would be B, the atomic number.

Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is found to contain

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The empirical formula is PCl3

Explanation:

Mass of P is 30.97 g, thus 1.523 g of P equivalent to 0.05 moles of P

Mass of Cl is 35.45 g, thus 5.228 g of Cl equivalent to 0.15 moles of Cl

Therefore moles of P : moles of Cl = 0.05:0.15 = 1:3

Therefore the empirical formula, PCl3
