Answer:

2. X₂O

Explanation:

  • Elements in group 1A are known as alkali metal. Examples include lithium, sodium, and potassium among others.
  • These elements have one valence electron in the outermost energy level and therefore form cations with a charge of +1.
  • They have a valency of 2.
  • Oxygen, on the other hand,has a valency of 2.
  • Therefore, a chemical formula of a compound formed when an element in group 1A say X reacts with oxygen will be X₂O.
  • To write the formula, we identify the symbol of the elements and their valence.
  • Then the atoms of the two elements exchange their valencies which are written as a subscript on each symbol of an element.

For the reaction, 2SO2(g) + O2(g) <--> 2SO3(g), at 450.0 K the equilibrium con­stant, Kc, has a value of 4.62. A system wa
Nady [450]

Answer:

To the left.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced reaction at equilibrium

2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 SO₃(g)

Step 2: Calculate the reaction quotient (Qc)

Qc = [SO₃]² / [SO₂]² × [O₂]

Qc = 0.254² / 0.500² × 0.00855

Qc = 30.2

Step 3: Determine in which direction will proceed the system

Since Qc > Kc, the system will shift to the left to attain the equilibrium.

Why do the densities of most substances increase when temperature decreases?
vlada-n [284]

This is because temperatures determine the kinetic energy of molecules of a substance, At lower temperatures the molecules have low kinetic energy hence the distance between molecules is not as large as when the kinetic energy is higher (because the molecules bombard less and with less kinetic energy). This means the substance can pack more molecules per volume at lower temperatures. The more the molecules per volume the higher the density.

As a quality control check, a sample of acetone is taken from a process to determine the concentration of suspended particulate
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The volume of the sample given is 850 ml, the density given is 0.79 gram per cm. Now the weight of the sample will be,  

Weight = volume × density = 850 × 0.79  

= 671.5 grams

Weight of the suspended solids given is 0.001 gram

The concentration of the sample can be determined by using the formula,  

Concentration = wt. of sample/volume

= [671.5 - 0.001) 10³ mg / 0.85 L

= 789998.82 mg/L or 789998.82 ppm

Now the concentration of suspended solids is.  

Css = 0.001 × 10³ mg / 0.85 L = 1.1764 mg per L or 1.1764 ppm
